Madden '17
Anyone getting a little excited? Seems like they have really made an effort this year.
Franchise mode is getting an overhaul according to recent news: 1. Full player editing while your franchise is progressing. 2. Coaching/FO decisions. 3. In-game ticker with live updates. 4. Practice squads. 5. New commentary team that will actually talk about things happening in your franchise. 6. Draft has been tweaked with more busts/gems. Gameplay improvements: 1. Zone Coverage overhaul. 2. New ball-carrier special moves. 3. Real gap control on defense. 4. Real ball physics. In the past the ball would tether to a player based on ratings. They also overhauled kicking to make it a challenge now. There's a new three-click system and weather/location will play a factor. Also, apparently on clutch kicks if the opponent "freezes" the kicker by calling a timeout the kicking meter will disappear and you have to make the kick by muscle memory. Kicks and punts can also be blocked. How badly all of this shit is ****ed up on release remains to be seen but it does seem like they are making a big effort. |

Not sure if the trading AI is any different but they've added a bar that shows the team's interest. The trade won't go through unless it's full all the way. With each proposal I could see it getting a fuller or less fuller depending on what I offered. CPU teams will trade with each other, too. |

Smellway are you just using the XB1 in game DVR to record/upload? I'd like to get some clips from my ranked adventures. I actually want to record full games then be able to edit it, so i prob need a dvr device or second video card in my pc correct?

Clay, would you post your sliders? I don't know if those would make sense on the 360 but I'd like to check them out just in case I decide to use them. I should be getting mine delivered tomorrow. Amazon Prime members get a good discount on this game - mine cost $47.99.

PROTIP
when you start your franchise you will probably want to change your XP sliders, otherwise player progression is going to be a molasses slow nightmare recommended settings: |

So the real question is....is it worth buying?
I played Madden religiously up until 2014. I tried 2015 and it was shit. I was given 2016 and I played 2 to 3 games before I put it away and never played it again. I don't play online. I only do franchise and franchise mode hasn't been good for ****ing years. Should I jump back in? Or hold off another year? |

Trade offers pouring in for Tamba Hali.
I may take New England's 2017 2nd, although multiple teams are offering a 2018 1st. |
