So much for my hopes that the Frostbite Engine might be a panacea for fixing any legacy physics issues. A fumbled ball just magically sticks to a recovering player's hand, and an onside kick was sucked right into the waiting hands of a member of the receiving team. Loose-ball physics and fumble recoveries appear to still be an ongoing problem. The actual game exposed several legacy issues were still present. The demo game exposed the persistence of legacy issues with loose ball and onside kick recovery. It just throws you into a game with a few tooltips popping up in the corner of the screen that you may or may not have time to read, and which may or may not be actually relevant or useful. Madden 18's introduction couldn't even be bothered with trying to be a tutorial. But at least it had scripted scenarios that put the player in position to try out some of the new features. The player banter was cheesily-written and poorly-acted, and completely misrepresented the actual content of the game. It did, but instead of a tightly-choreographed narrative tutorial like in Madden 16 and 17, it loaded into a normal Play Now game, but with pathetically sparse commentary and lazy SuperBowl presentation. I booted it up again, sat through setting my initial preferences again, and then waited in anticipation to see whether the demo game would actually load. Except it crashed to the PS4 menu before the game could load. After a few start-up questions to set my play style and difficulty level, the game immediately loaded into a demo game of a Superbowl rematch between the Falcons and Patriots. Oh boy, booting up Madden 18 for the first time was like watching a slow motion train wreck - before the train had even left the station. edition),Ĭomic mischief, mild language, mild violence XBox One (via retail disc or XBox Live digital download).
