Say what you will about offensive line play, online franchise's missing features, or whatever else, Madden 18 is an incredibly balanced online head-to-head game, the servers are reliable, lag is a non-issue, etc. In my experience, Tiburon has that part of the game down pat.

With respect to "flop", PastaPadre posted that the viewership numbers were already in the tubes. To the extent that we are talking about the reach of NBA 2K as an e-sport, who cares how good the modes are if no one is watching? I hope they turn it around, but they've certainly got work to do.
Man you're actually in here talking about servers and not the game itself? SMH.. okay then Im not even sure how that matters when you pretty much dismissed the lack of actual things that matter to a well rounded game as some kind of minor quip....

Just as you talk about stability in head to head, it shows the lack of attention to any other part of their game. It always blows my mind that people are cool with EA working on one or two things a year while others are throwing the kitchen sink out there.

To the other point, You're going off of a pasta padre article for a league that is actually paying people, and just got started, and hasn't even completed a first season yet, and is still in the feel out stages as a flop?

It's kinda silly to tout "reach" and "turnaround" when it just started its first games literally a month ago.


I suggest you pay way more attention to what's going on because if that's where you're getting your information from you've missed almost the entire ordeal.

It seems like you talk about 2k off of what you heard instead of knowing it yourself, but then you make claims that you follow the industry because it's your job.

You're contradicting the crap out of yourself commenting on things you don't have a clue about.

Apparently, their numbers show A LOT of people care about how good their modes are because they're the ones who buy all of those preorders that smoke Madden in September NPD's sales and from that point forward stay ahead.
