So forgive me if this has been already covered- is this the first Madden that will only be on PS4/XB1?

Also, darn, was kind of hoping for Switch. We haven't had great portable Madden in a long, long time. Buying FIFA for this reason, but soccer (unless it's straight garbage), so hopefully we'll see Madden migrate eventually!

Video showed at least a couple of the old animations, Norman interception in particular.

Welp.

Interesting, the Xbox Live pre-order page says Online Multiplayer: 2-6 players. Have you been able to do more than 2 players recently? I remember they had some 4 player coop mode a few years ago but I don't remember that being online...

Maybe it's for some other mode, skills challenge, or something like that.

Damn this looks like EA finally is upgrading Madden with a new engine. The fact that this will only be on current gen hardware is encouraging and the new additions have me excited. But as a Giants fan I just can't bring myself to buy this with this cover. So in order to make this acceptable for purchase I've decided to make a few tweaks. Sorry about the quality as my photoshop skills are not that great.

Ever since NFL 2K ended, I've been tempted to buy Madden every year but never do.

...there's no temptation to buy Madden this year.

I'm a huge Tom Brady fan but even I have to admit he isnt the greatest of all time. He's had some good plays and even though he's muh boy there is no denying he cheated too much a in past seasons to get his team to the superbowl... good player but the cheating prevents him from ever beingthe best. Sorry man I love you you are my favorite football player but facts are facts.

Although I am a Giants fan Brady is one of the best to ever play the game but Bill Belichick is the GOAT on that team.

But he is clean, every one of his "cheating incidents" was just an organized witch hunt to try to harm his reputation ��

You are one of the good Pats/Tom Brady fans.


Which is weird as all hell to say.

No you're not. Get out.
 
Goddammit, is there a Brady-free version of the cover?

First Madden to have me interested since 2015...but they put scum on the cover AND blasphemed against Lord Montana. :(

The game info has my attention for the first time in Madden history, Brady being on the cover is just icing on the cake. We all know he is the true GOAT. And he never cheated.

I am actually one of his children (same say I am the favorite) and I can admit that he is a cheating asshole who got where he was by breaking the rules.

Even his backups win like 80% of the time.

I am not even that impressed with his parenting.

There was a mention of this on the local news, along with a video of Tom Brady thumbing his nose at all of the curse talk and doing stuff like smashing a mirror and walking under a ladder... I'm going to laugh if he gets injured next season.

Madden has always felt better gameplay-wise. You act like every catch and tackle is the same scripted sequence.
You obviously didn't play 2k much. Just the ability to run the ball without getting sucked in by animations is better than anything Madden has put out since 98.

Interesting, Team play might be back. Team play was 3v3 one player was qb, one was rb and the other wr. Its was fun, hope its integrated in to Connected Franchise and you can have 3 people (or 4 with coach) on the same team.
 
As a Colts fan, having him on the cover humors me. That said I can't argue he's not the 🐐. Calling it the GOAT Edition over deluxe seems a bit much though.

Oh well.

Brady da best.

You must have me confused with someone else.

I am a legit Brady. We all cheat 24/7, are huge Trumpers, and we were kind of on the side of that Patriots fan who unfairly got arrested for defending the constitution against Sharia and Shania.

Shit, all this salt in the thread. I am a freaking Redskins fan (and I cry every year) but this is ridiculous. If EA story mode is good as in new FIFA I will buy my first Madden in like 5 years.
