![]() ![]() In Ultimate Team, it makes All-Madden difficulty much more bearable. In arcade mode Field Goals are super blockable, the hit stick is a murder fumble maker, and deep passes are always on the table. It’s not a bad mode and there is a lot of nuance to be found for people who need that in their football game BUT I love arcade mode. It also makes running more difficult as defensive lineman shed blockers much easier. All the linebackers are constantly in coverage and pick off passes like crazy. The main difference between the 2 in my experience is in Comp mode linebackers intercept everything. I firmly believe that once the game has been played on Arcade mode, it makes Comp mode feel like such a slog. The distinction between Arcade mode and Competition mode are how Madden deals with difficulty again this year. This is kind of a step in the right direction. There are so many ways to spend money in that mode, paying 60 dollars to get it feels wrong. As somebody who pretty much only plays Ultimate Team, I wish that mode was free to play. It’s a fascinating model and one step closer to Madden being a free to play game or subscription service. I was already paying for EA access in Origin and by adding 5 dollars a month I got the game I was about to spend 80 dollars on anyways. If you sign up for Origin access elite tier (15 dollar a month option) you get the HOF Edition of the game immediately and basically for free. My internet connection is better, and the origin access seems better than EA access on Xbox One. Graphically, my computer is much more powerful than my Xbox one. Being able to say any of that in regards to a mode in a Madden game will always be a win. The love angle doesn’t feel forced and the losses feel impactful. They also do a great job of showing diversity on the football field, with a deaf QB and a female assistant coach. Goliath story and they added some good characters. I have seen some negative reviews of it compared to last year and I think they created a gripping narrative that, while not perfect, conveys a really fun David vs. There are a few moments of uncanny valley with the women in the game but it’s not bad. There are far fewer jarring cuts and slow down moments in the cut scenes. Wade is actually able to have textured hair that resembles that of a black persons in the cut scenes. Graphically, Long Shots looks amazing compared to last year. The only good thing contracts did was it forced you to use teams of bad players so you wouldn’t waste contracts of your best players. You might need to retry a lot of challenges or are just grinding and then you run out of contracts and have to buy more with in game currency or real money. No contracts in Ultimate Team is a game changer. The worst thing in Madden Ultimate team was the scam of players having contracts that determined how many challenges they could be used in. The animations are better, the modes more thought out, and the UI is much cleaner. This year’s Madden is better than last years and probably the best Madden since 10. These are my jumbled thoughts on this year’s Madden. ![]()
