Just decided to take the plunge from '17 after reading all the negatives and the few positives.....but up to now i've found it to be a massive upgrade on '17. Admittedly its early days for me, but the game runs smooth, gameplay is excellent and roster adjustments are pretty much up to date, with only about a half dozen changes to the 40 man on each team, which should take me about a week to sort out. Currently playing just PLAY NOW till i delve into franchise for the season on 30 team control. I prefer to control all teams roster changes and injuries on a daily basis . Not been disappointed at all with the upgrade from '17. Had i purchased '18 , I might have had a different viewpoint....who knows.
The ability to hire the game is not available for me, so what the heck, go for it. It certainly wipes the floor with '17......
