I'll definitely be tracking the indie optionsas well. I bought Axis to support future iterations. To me, that game isn't at a playable standard I enjoy right now, but the work the devs are doing is very impressive overall, and so I'll continue to support it.
I really liked Madden 18 when they released the patches in November, but it's been too many editions now that take too long to finally get the game patched right. It just isn't a a rewarding single player experience for enough of my annual play cycle.
