Whats Included

Madden NFL 18 G.O.A.T. Edition

Q: Can you please tell me if this just a digital download ? Thank you

A: No, this should be for pick up in store.

Q: What is the differences between Madden 18 and the G.O.A.T edition

A: Nothing acctually. Really just jumpstart like one free g.o.at players and more weekly packs which are trash

Q: I bought the goat edition the other day, when I went to redeem my bonus items with the code on the inside of the game it came up as invalid code!?? I called EA they told me to contact Best Buy. I called Best Buy and they told me to contact EA.Got no where

A: Call Best Buy Again They sent me my Code to my Email .

Q: Does this have a midnight release

A: It didn't in Colorado but BB needs to bring midnights back.

Q: Do you still get preorder bonus with GOAT esition?

A: No. And this was frustrating because I did everything I was supposed to do in the store. But there seemed to be an issue with their system. Because of this, I had to make the order online and use a giftcard for my trade in. But because I had to do the order online, it wouldn't apply the pre order bonus. I did not have time to go back and forth with best buy about the bonus $10, so I just covered it myself.

Q: Can two accounts get the packs and the players that come with the madden 18 gaot edition

A: No.

Q: What's the difference between the GOAT Edition and the regular Madden?

A: Different cover and Ultimate team bonus you get.

Q: I know the physical game comes out on 8/22. If you purchase the G.O.A.T edition, you are able to gain access to the game 3 days early. Will there be a code coming in my email for the early access?

A: Physical copy comes out 25th. Goat come out the 22 for pre order. If you preorder for a hard copy just show your receipt at the place you bought the game from and then they'll give it to you. If you purchased a digital copy you should receive a notification saying that you are ready for a download

Not perfect but one of the better Maddens in years
Madden 18 may not be perfect in all areas of the game, but it's a solid game that keeps improving. Commentary, presentation and graphics are better than ever before. EA's Frostbite engine may not have been implemented as well as it could have been, but for a first year effort, it's a solid foundation that should improve. The PS4 Pro enhancements truly change this game for the better. Having a solid 60 frames per second on 1080P resolution and amazingly clear HDR graphics on 4K televisions truly makes a ton of difference over 17 and previous years. Franchise hasn't seen a lot of improvements come its way, but its minor fixes to commentary and menu quirks perfect what was already there. Here's hoping for an overhaul in 19. Longshot is a surprisingly fun story mode that ends far too soon. I honestly hope an NFL-based sequel that uses your save data from Madden 18 will be added next year, instead of a completely new story with new characters. All things considered, this is a solid game that, in spite of its imperfections, does a lot to emulate what fans see on Sundays. It could be better. But what's there is certainly admirable, and hopefully it continues to improve next season under Frostbite.

Fun!
This game ticks all the boxes: graphics, gameplay, sound and fun! Controls really well and has so many modes you will be playing this until the next on comes out.

Madden is Back...?
While there are some big flaws with the game, i.e. computer play calling, and qb play, and franchise mode needs an overhaul. The game looks beautiful and still is a lot of fun to play. The latest patches have fixed some of the problems. Longshot is a fun story mode to play through. Game is really catered to online and ultimate team which are really fun if you are in to that, and offer a wide range of things to do while building your team. Single player is fun, but requires some work on your end to get the computer to play competently.
