Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is definitely a Madden game. As far as the game goes, it is not very different from previous games. The new LongShot mode is great! The gameplay is a bit better than before. The new engine feels the same, but the game is good for those wanting a football kick. If you're a Madden fan, you know what to expect. If not, expect a game with many bugs, but it is the main source of football nowadays.

Madden 18 is definitely an improvement over 17. From the sharp visuals accomplished using the Frostbite engine, to the much improved animations, this series is finally living up to it's potential. The Longshot story mode is a nice change of pace, that is both well written with great voice acting. The gameplay has been improved with both offensive and defensive lines getting much needed attention. The addition of the coaching adjustment option is awesome. You can choose to have your team play a balanced game, a conservative one or aggressive. The aggressive option gives you the potential for more turnovers, but can also lead to your opponent breaking off huge plays. This really adds a whole new dimension to the series. It was an option back in NCAA football days and it is great to see it making a comeback in Madden 18. Overall, I think the game plays great and I would recommend it. My only minor gripes are with some clipping animations during replays and post play interactions. Also, I am hoping that come next year, Madden will be 100% real time physics based. Madden 18 physics are pretty darn good, but you still see the occasional canned animations, which by now should be a non-issue.

The graphics are much better than previous versions. You have more control over player movements and making plays.The MUT stuff is OK, I prefer more realistic play however. The only knock on it is instant replay still sucks and I have yet to win a challenge. And lastly, Jason Garrett looks like he got stung by bees and swelled up, nothing at all like JG.

Everything that I expected from a Madden Game plus the story mode is AWESOME! It was the first thing I tried and liked it a TON! My only complaint with the game so far would be that in the Franchise mode it seems like my team is getting crushed by injuries. Might just be bad luck but it's kind of frustrating losing people to injury for what seems like no reason. I know I can turn injuries off but I think it's an important part of the game, just maybe the sensitivity is a little high.

With the new frostbyte engine, madden has never looked better. The stadium, lighting and the player models look so much better and life-like. Gameplay hasn't changed much with new several features. Overall, better version that last year especially with the addition of the story mode called Long Shot.

it's the madden you know and love, but it's different for the better. Thus iteration uses the frostbite engine to make gameplay crisp and fluid. there are also new,game modes highlighted by a story driven mode. if you've given up on past Madden releases try this one you may be surprised.

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.

It's madden and even though I miss the 2k series this is still a solid edition to your gaming lineup. The addition of using the Frostbite engine which is used in other EA games (Battlefield) really make the players look as real as ever and the gameplay seems to get better every year as well.

I was shocked how good this game was. Usually Madden makes incremental improvements to each game in the series and along with the updated team rosters and addition of college draft picks rolls out its new series. The engine overhaul to DICE has made this game a lot better. The controls are more responsive and I find the Computer controlled players react much better to coverage on receivers and blocking running routes. I am enjoying the base game and the Madden Ultimate Team creator which feels more fleshed out than last year. I have not tried the Longshot mode yet, but I think it will be a great addition to the game. Definitely worth buying.

Best Madden yet. Great gameplay and the graphics are better due to the Frostbite engine. Longshot mode is a blast!

The game is great just like the previous in the franchise, however there needs to be a better filter to catch cheaters. There’s a lot of glitches and open hacks that need to be addressed. Other than that if you are a footbal fan, worth the buy.

Love this game ! Ultimate team and amazing cover to the game with Tom Brady GOAT. Well worth the extra 20 bucks. Highly recommended Great Game !

I bought this for my son. Its a great game. Graphics are about the same as prior year, but the story mode is new and ads something new to it.

Game play is great, only issue I have is the glitches and the tackling is horrid, one juke can catch 3-4 defenders at the same time. I love the graphics and detail much better than Madden 17.

Madden always has a few years when it is not great. This year's version is a little tougher as a young quarterback going through the ranks in Franchise mode (for example Marriota will not be as accurate with short throws if you just hold down the reciever button over Derek Carr). The longshot mode is great compared to the dialogs in MLB 17 they clearly spent sometime here and allowed for the play in longshot to be integrated in other modes.

One of my favorite madden's. Not perfect as there are still some bugs from prior versions however the frostbite engine makes you really feel like you're in the game.

Ultimate Team is a fun grind as always. Long shot was a cool story mode for a football game.

For gamers that are football fans, the release of the new Madden each season is almost as hotly anticipated as the start of the NFL season. This year brings an upgrade to EA's frostbite graphics engine, which has much improved graphical fidelity and better gang tackling. The new Longshot mode is a fun mini-game that takes the best of the NFL show Undrafted and reimagines it as a reality show contest.

The switch to the Frostbite engine has made this the best looking and performing Madden ever. Commentary much improved and Long Shot is a nice addition.

Game worked amazing! No worries, no hassle. Great game for fans of football
