Online is primarily used for taking your Ultimate Team online but as a game mode it has limited interest for me. Online was not tested for the purpose of this review but I know that EA servers can be a nightmare. Although it has now featured for years the skills trainer is another welcome addition and for newcomers and veterans to the series alike. I still enjoy it though and its much better than when I last seriously played it in Madden NFL 12. AI logic is getting better but it's still not as good as it should be for trades etc. That said, it is still bare bones or light on the extensive detail that franchise mode lovers would like to see and isn't close to say the NBA 2K series in its control of a franchise and what you can do. Franchise mode where I find most of my own enjoyment has the same nucleus as previous versions but it has been streamlined visually and you do feel as though you're playing your own season where scores around the league and the announcing make you feel as though you're part of something bigger. There is also a huge focus on Ultimate Team and microtransactions which make a ton of money for the publisher and more so than the actual game itself which is a criticism of the modern video game industry. All or most of these issues have plagued Madden throughout the years.ĮA Sports has focused on pretty graphics as per usual, and the game is one of the best looking games on Xbox One. Blocking is still far from perfect where sacks or hits on the quarterback are still far too easy or frequent. The tackling is also suspect at times and particularly in the running game where it feels like the CPU will just warp into you or as if the outcome is already pre-determined. For instance, they will run out routes or have receivers that run to the outside and then out of bounds which prevents them from getting the first down rather than the player and defense actually impacting the play. What helps break that immersion? Well, as in years past the CPU and its decisions are rather dodgy at times. Not only that but as last year the commentary is dynamically updated throughout the season and this helps you immerse you in the experience all the more. In terms of presentation this is the best Madden to date and while I missed out on last year and the debut of Charles Davis and Brandon Gaudin as the new commentators they are both excellent. I haven't played a Madden properly since Madden NFL 12 as sports titles don't really seem to differ.
