This game really utilizes the co op capabilities of the switch. U can have the 2k experience anywhere which makes the game and system valuable.

The hardcopy of the game still requires a 6-7GB download before you can even play and requires a mircoSD card to hold the download. The save file is also very large at 5GB. However, once the game is all downloaded and ready to go, it's awesome! The frame rate is not what you would see on the PS4 or XBOX One, but where this game sets itself apart is the mobility on the Switch. I have enjoyed the game both docked on the big screen, and in full mobility mode while traveling. Note, an internet connection is required to play many of the modes. Overall the game has played great, is challenging, and contains so many small details that it continues to wow me. The MyCareer mode plays like a GTA open world map where you need to complete objectives to upgrade your player. The main knock on the game is the glitches that sometimes occur, requiring me to exit out of the game and re-load. Also, load times are longer than what i was expecting and the raw data that this game requires (even when playing the physical game copy) is intense. Overall, it's a great game and it's awesome to see sports games on the Switch! Common Madden, where you at!!!

Graphics: Handheld 5/5 , docked 4/5 Gameplay: 4/5 Replayability: 5/5 Overall Value: 4/5 Pros: Handheld on the go sports, great game overall Cons: Download time/size I was a little sceptical buying this game based off some of the reviews i was reading. My biggest concern was the size of the game and the quality of game play compared to xbox or ps4. After playing the game for about a week now i can say with confidence this is a great game amd worth the money. Game Size: yes, its very large and yes it did take an hour to download before I could play. I have had to wait longer on downloading xbox games, i think waiting for a game to download an hour or two has become a standard. That is not enough to deter me from buying this game. I bought an additional memory card just for this game. Yes, it makes this game more expensive. But lets be real, at somr point you will need additional memory cards for your switch, that is inevitable. I have always wanted a legitamite sports game handheld and on the go. This finally fulfills a long time want of mine and was able to over look the download time and extra memory for that reason. The game play is amazing, grapics on the go are sweet, looks crisp, movement is clean and the gameplay is great. I could not tell much of a difference betweem the switch version and my xbox version. I cant wait to see what sports game on the switch has in store for us in the future, this is an amazing start.
