Casual fan here. Only play a game or two a week. I hadn't played madden since 2013 on 360. This one is fantastic. All the features you've grown to love, plus more. If you're a football fan you have to love the updated rosters, as per tradition. They aren't off when they say it's the most real ever. Just JPP doesn't look like he should. It's only so real. Still fun. I like the controls. They were new for me for this season, but remember Ive been away for a few years.

Amazing game like madden always is. This year madden is alot better controls and graphics are top notch. Great time to buy now with holiday sale. Highly recommend

As a purchaser of madden every year I have to tip my hat to ea with their fine work in madden 18. The run game has been revitalized and efficient unlike past versions that were prone to exclusively passing games. The graphics are phenomenal the constant roster updates and tweaks are great. The game plays very lifelike and doesn't feel as much as an arcade game. lots of fun features with ultimate team and draft champions coming back. Best new feature is Mut squads allowing you and 2 friends to play online on same team against 3 other people. Loads of fun and content included.

This game is very realistic and is so much fun. My grandson and I love to play it on the Xbox in a two way competition. He is enjoying the game very much.

Last good Madden was Madden 25. This Madden game makes me believe im playing that game but with way better graphics and better controls. Eagles number 1!

I’m playing the normal Xbox one version, not the GOAT version. I am playing on a Sony 65inch 4K HDR tv, but I do not have a one S as i have a XB1X on pre order. The graphics are amazing aside from some weird issues where on screen presentations go through solid objects. Frankly i’m not sure how the game can look any better in 4K, it already looks amazing. The computer AI cheats as usual. While playing the Super Bowl game while it was installing the Patriots called 5 time outs in the final 2 minutes of the game. It didn’t help them win though,i was able to run out the clock, but still it’s annoying to watch the AI cheat plain as day. And yes, i am 100% sure they called 5. I have only played franchise mode and found it to be the same old same old mode, no real changes so far. I’ve only used the old passing scheme and found it to be spot on as usual, Matt Ryan to Julio Jones is money the majority of the time. The running game is easy, but there is no need to run as passing is so easy. If your a falcons fan you’ll be Happy to know the announcers bring up the Super Bowl loss all the time. Time and time again they say how ATL blew it with poor clock management, which we know to be true. It’s rather funny. The play by play is actually pretty good. But when i won the Super Bowl there was a good 2 to 3 minutes of no dialogue and players just celebrating. There was no Super Bowl MVP which was disappointing. When i skipped the halftime show the game announcer actually said seriously, who skips the halftime show in the Super Bowl. All in all if you love football and want to play a beautiful game you can’t go wrong. This is the best looking game in the series by far, i can only image how awesome it will look on the One X.

The move to the Frostbite Engine for Madden 18 is immediately noticeable. Jerseys, stadiums, the weather, and player facial and action animations are far crisper and dynamic than they have ever been in the Madden series. There's a new single player mode that is fine. MUT has evolved in the right direction with possible 3 on 3 matchups online. Franchise is pretty much the same as last year except for the options to commit yourself to one of 3 new Gameplay Styles: Arcade, Simulation, or Competitive. I spend most of my time with the Simulation mode and the AI has been pretty competitive and frustrating (in a good way) because the games really do have a great push and pull feel of momentum. You really have to play and scheme smart to win against the CPU in Simulation. I really enjoy this game. The only negative to me is that the Defense has been nerfed a lot. Especially in Simulation Gameplay. Great defensive players don't make as many great defensive plays as great Offensive players in this game. And the CPU running the ball will wreck you if you're not playing smart defense. As in, SPIN, SPIN, JUKE avoiding the first 1-3 tackles and disappearing for a touchdown. If it's a one on one tackling scenario, I start to cross my fingers in my head. I've tried to make up for it early by not pressing tackle until after they have performed the move. Anyway, it's annoying but not a gamebreaker. Updates will probably balance things out more. I really do miss the success of rushing the passer and field goal kickers. That responsiveness is gone from this year.

if you like john madden football. you will like this game the graphics and features to this game are awesome.

This years madden is excellent. Graphics are great love the story mode. Love playing online via Xbox live.

My son and I both love the game. It is so much better than prior editions. Very realistic.

Excellent gameplay with realistic experience. Scarily like watching a game on tv! Crazy!

It's Madden.... probably the best graphics of the next generation years. Online team MUT play is nice addition to the game.

great game.... lots of nice features. my son loves playing online. very realistic.

I am really enjoying the game so far, although I did have last years game as well, they are similar but the new engine looks great one xbox (looking forward to xbox one x 4k updates). The single player gameplay story was fun but short, hope they expand on that next year. Overall, its a good update, but maybe wait till its $39 or less to snag if you have last years version.

fun to play, and for the most part realistic. lots of depth in career mode

Very realistic nice new features. I like the new storyline you can do

Great game play, very realistic, playing it on a 4K tv is a must!!!!

Madden has great controls, graphics and gameplay. Online is good.

If you're buying a Madden game, you probably won'y be reading any reviews to make your decision but if you need to then I will say they made another big step forward graphics wise and the route running is much smoother. As always, the game seems harder at first but they kept the kicking mechanics the same and that's all I can really ask.

Gameplay and graphics are awesome, controls are easy
