#MADDEN NFL 18 REVIEW SERIES#
Unlike similar career modes in series like NBA2K, there is a major benefit to the virtual responses and reactions given by Devin Wade at each turn reflecting his draft ability.
With every cloud there comes a silver lining and despite the soppy story, which will no doubt be repeated for years to come, the Longshot feature does open the eyes of fans to the relentless world of sports media, as players are used as objects to appease investors through the cloak of a virtual screen. In this game, the storyline features schoolyard buddies Devin Wade and Colt Cruise as they seek their way to stardom from the despair of lower class beginnings. There were warning signs for me early on in the game, when playing touch football in the front yard gave you the ability to veer the ball left and right depending on the obstacles in your way. Clichéd shots of Devin looking into his father’s eyes – you simply knew where they were going with the story before the ball had even been caught. Madden NFL 18 represents a step forward in realism in this generation of sports game releases, but with such a big emphasis on its new story mode, your mileage may vary greatly depending on how keen you are for a Madden movie.
Madden’s decision to include the ‘Longshot’ story mode seems to have been brought upon by rival sports franchises introducing similar plotlines in years past. Another edition of Madden another video game with a disappointing career mode based off every other sports game.
