Duders! Hi again. Long time no see.

So, just a quick post to you Madden-fans. Being a EA Access member i checked out Madden this weekend. I watch quite a lot of American Football (as much as a European can in legal way) so I kind of use Madden to get to know the game a little bit better.

Last years game was OK, I remember having fun but after one season was just fine with it. This years game however. There are some improvements that kind of makes me want to play this for a long, long time.

First of these being the almost RPG-like franchise mode. During a match - every player basically gets "quests". These can be like - "get a 20 yard catch", "five perfect catches" or even crazier stuff. All this is pretty well integrated with XP-bars filling in on the pitch right besides the player. It looks awesome and seeing one of your guys having just one more perfect catch before he basically levels up is... AWESOME.

The game itself feels a bit more responsive. Little bit quicker. However just as last year - I ended up selecting crazy plays because I just wanted to skip cutscenes.

Anyway - this might be a great year for Madden!
