Couple of hours in and I'm stoked!!!

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!

Nice try, John Madden! I won't fall for it!

(Also this needs to be flagged and moved to the handegg forum, but I can't find the flag anymore...?)

I moved it.

When you're writing your blog, you have to associate it to all of the related subjects that you're talking about. Then you'll be able to choose the correct forum from the drop down menu when cross-posting it to the forums. If you don't take the time to associate the blog to different pages, then you're only going to see the top level boards like General and Off Topic.

That's great to hear! I just ordered my copy tonight with the "save 20 on an Xbox one controller with purchase" since I needed a new controller with the headphone jack in it. Looking forward to Tuesday!

I thought calling American football 'handegg' had gotten so overdone that now it is exclusively used by people to make fun of the people who continue to use the term 'handegg'. If this is not the case, then let me know, I have some clever quips from the mid 90s I'd love to dust off and start using again.

Nice to hear, those franchise changes sound pretty cool. I got back into Madden last year in a pretty big way so I'm really excited for this. I'll probably wait to get this or at least wait to play it until a couple weeks into the regular season so they'll have their early season roster updates sorted out.

This sounds hopeful, I'd really like to have a good football game to play instead of the mediocre games they pump out.

Still not going to be getting this at full price, I've abandoned that hope a long time ago.
