Boner!

Hopefully they improved the single player aspects. I hate MUT and online play.

I'd like them make the draft harder. Like, incredibly hard.

Right now it's far too easy to draft studs. I can usually hit on at least 5 picks every year, and if I want a QB there's virtually no chance of picking a bust, unless you're a buffoon.

I haven't spent a ton of time but I have a harder time finding a complete stud. The position that I can usually draft well are OLBs for a 3-4 but guaranteed that if I need a QB....I'm drafting the 2nd or 3rd one. My last franchise they literally had all the same top 3....and I picked the normal one while the Dolphins drafted the Superstar right after me.

Hmmm.

"Longshot" story mode.

You can't customize it? Way to **** that up EA.

Yeah it's shitty. You get to play as one pre-made character at one position.

Awful, terrible execution of what could have been a great idea.

I'm not sure what to make of the Longshot mode...

I like the 'idea' of it, but....man, the more I read about it the more I'm reluctant to get excited about it.

I can't state how much I hate the interface/menu...

I cant' determine if the Longshot mode is going to be like a 20 minute waste of time, where the times you actually play some football, it's already scripted as to what the out come will be regardless of performance etc. Or, if it will be an in-depth time consumer worthy of checking out.

I thought I read somewhere that the Longshot mode could be played while the game loads/installs....so I'm wondering if it's just going to be yet another hyped upgrade by EA only to be another failure.

Why the **** wouldn't you not have a mode like Road to the Show? ****ing worthless ****s at EA.

yeah, that's what i was sort of hoping for when I first heard of it. then I watched the trailer and read interviews.....doesn't sound like that at all. what a bummer.

I'm not even a huge baseball fan, but I bought one of the MLB RTTS games a year ago-ish and I loved the RTTS. Super fun. In fact...I'm sort of burned out on Madden 17...I should hop back into MLB for a bit.

I haven't bought an MLB game years....but I went out and picked up MLB 17 and I've been cranking through a RTTS right now....and loving it. San Diego Studios needs to take over Madden because EA is ****ing horrible.
