Recommended Videos
  • You can absolutely feel the difference in the weight of the controlled player.
  • Player movement feels heavier. Definitely a better weight to it.
  • Scat backs felt quick. Running as a FB without the ball felt like trying to turn a Mac truck.
  • If you overplay as the user in Madden NFL 18 you will pay this year. Overplay meaning if you step ahead of the play. More weight will play a part.

  • Target Passing – difficult but rewarding. Comes off your primary receiver (so reads are important). Rewarding once you ‘get it’
  • Played more MUT Squads – hope gamers in all modes open to at least try it. It’s a lot of fun.
  • Got time 1 vs CPU on Simulation mode in Madden NFL 18 – penalties galore. Passing windows are TIGHT. WR/DB anims are noticeable.
  • Madden NFL 18 Target Passing: Primary Receiver is your first “lock”. Push LT/L2 and the target icon appears. Use L Stick to guide target…
  • If you want to switch target to another receiver – while holding LT/L2 push the button of the receiver. Process begins again.
  • Target Passing IS NOT EASY. You will need practice. It is also NOT required to play the game.
  • It feels more like NFL Fever to an extent, but the target icon isn’t tethered to the receiver.
  • It’s more much more intuitive than Cone ever was.

  • Off ball injuries are in, ANY player interaction has a chance to result in injury. There is a draft board feature coming for AFK drafting, and Coaching Assignments are in.
  • Deep coverages felt better, but way to early to tell. Blue zones seemed to pick up Cover 2 releases better.
  • Underneath coverage is MUCH more aware of C/Corner routes. And passing windows on whole were tighter on All Pro

  • You can manually grab a receiver last 5 yards with the new WR/DB Mechanics
  • saw a coach pick up a player after a tackle on the sidelines yesterday.

  • Coaching Assignments, WR/DB Interactions BOTH have an immediate impact on team building in Franchise Mode.
