I understand the appeal of MUT, but I've never been able to get into it even though I've tried on several occasions.
I wish EA would switch the focus back to franchise mode but doubtful that will happen anytime soon because they can make so much money from the MUT microtransactions alone.
I may or may not buy. Gameplay wise I enjoyed it last year. Would love to be part of a league again if someone got one up and running on here.
I just can't bring myself to give them my money anymore. I can certainly see why people still buy it, it's literally the only football game left, but man it's just so flawed. What's interesting is if you go on YouTube you can find videos of people comparing Madden 18 vs APF 2k8 and APF just blows it out of the water, and it's 10 years old. But for those of yall who still play I really do hope this year's game is good and yall enjoy it
Well.....thanks.

APF does not and it's not even close.
In regards to tackling actually looking and behaving like normal tackling, blocking behaving like normal blocking and players not sliding all over each other yes it absolutely does. Those are the details that throw me off with Madden. It's like everyone is covered in oil and just slip and slide and fall over one another
I 100% disagree. Madden still has issues with legacy code, but it's so much better...especially since 16 than anything that has ever been out there. Even 2k5, which is always brought up for comparisons.
This might be the first year I've passed on Madden in some 12 years. The past couple games just haven't done it for me.
Same here. It is just very boring to me.
I dont like Ultimate Team because I prefer the realism of franchise mode. Hate to use a team without their regular rosters.
The past 5 or 6 years Ive bought Madden I basically played it for a month then traded it in towards 2K.
I like MUT at first when everyone's team isn't a god squad. I hate how they've made it so overly favored to just buying packs rather than grinding out the solos.
I like that defenses are more realistic... they have rules in coverages and pattern match... their is a lot more real scheme as they progress the game.Passed on Madden '18 for one of the first times since the days of the Sega Genesis, lol. I think I'm going to get it this year, based on some of the franchise improvements. I'm still not what I'd call happy with the direction it's gone, but custom draft classes being back, better archetype system/schemes, etc. make me at least a little excited. I still want more control of the franchise and simulation engine, as well as better stat-tracking, but they probably have my money this year. '18 just wasn't enough from '17 to make me take the plunge.
