The last Madden I purchased was Madden 16, it was fine but I hard to start paying for things by myself so I realized how much of a waste an annual purchase was. Well I got into a big football mood and really wanted to play some Madden. I've heard people say it's "worse than the older games!" which had to be an overreaction, right? 6 years later it can't actually be worse than Madden 16, there had to be some improvements even if they were minor, right? Well if there were any I missed 'em, because I was so mad how the gameplay and graphics some how appeared worse! Okay maybe they're the same and they just don't compare how other games coming out nowadays are but that's still mad! Speaking of mad, the story mode is angering. It's not fun, there's nothing fun about it. They're trying to make you angry so you can prove all of the haters wrong but the fans aren't anywhere close to being somewhat believable enough that there is no progression. As your characters finishes his HS career it feels like there is some story progression and it's really rewarding until something happens that resets the entire story and now it feels like a waste. So unless you're desperate for current rosters, go play older games. I'm a Broncos fan, so I have no problem reliving the Peyton Manning era.
