Where Is Our Madden 18 Review?
Madden NFL 18 is out via EA Access on Xbox One and reviews will be up soon, but we're going to wait a little bit on posting our impressions of EA Tiburon's latest until we've had more time with some of the game's online components.
Ultimate Team mode continues to be a big part of the Madden experience, and Madden 18 adds 3v3 MUT Squads – co-op versus gameplay using your MUT lineup along with those of your teammates (click here for some impressions from E3).
Apart from online play, the game introduces The Longshot story mode (which you can read my primer for here) and hardcore gameplay mechanics like Target Passing. The game doesn't have any major updates to Connected Franchise Mode, but it's added a draft board and tweaked injuries. We'll have to see how this does or does not change the experience.
Look for my review in the coming days.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
