Gorgeous stadiums but players look the exact same. Look at the same exact body types. Everyone still has the same size torso/legs. Disappointing. That animation in the end zone has been in every trailer the last 3 years too.

It looks good but I'm skeptical. It looks like the footage they showed at E3 when the current gen systems were just coming out.

Brady's arm at about 19 seconds is funny looking.

The stadium shot in the beginning of the video looks gorgeous. I'm hoping the game actually looks like that. I figured they would have a story mode in 18. I won't play it but am happy for those who have been wanting a story mode in Madden.

New engine, same animations

My initial feeling is they spent a lot of time on some story mode while the gameplay will still be mediocre. Obviously need to see more but nothing about that trailer got me excited in any way. Trailers always look better than the actual game.

Re: Madden 18 trailer

I would guess that looking out to Lucas Oil implies there is a story mode that you start at the combine at LO

Just give us 2K levels of team creation/customization and it will be insta-buy.

I agree with the earlier comment that the lighting and stadiums look fantastic but he players look exactly the same (body types, uniforms fitting funny, etc)

Hope this story mode isn't following in the footsteps of what FIFA did this year.

Re: Madden 18 trailer

Let's just hope that EA Madden didn't concentrate on story mode and put career/franchise mode on hold.
Ahem, FIFA.....

Re: Madden 18 trailer

You guys got to see like 3 action scenes. Give it time before throwing out "it's all the same animations".

I really hope the new story mode doesn't affect the development of Franchise mode. I'd never touch the story side of this.

Re: Madden 18 trailer

Typical teaser-hype trailer. A lot of cinematic angles to get people thirsty.

Based off the end of the trailer it looks like story mode is going to be a thing they will hammer. I hope this leads to some face scanning like NBA2K has. I'm a franchise guy but I would mess around with it if i could get my actually face in the game. Really adds to the experience.

Tom Brady's arm does look like he went on a massive diet over the off season
