The long-awaited Madden 18 finally has a firm release date of 25th August 2017. And there is a great deal of hype around what can be expected with the release. With the promise of improved graphics, upgrades in gaming and improvements in features, there is a lot of anticipation surrounding the release.
While the release date is always on a Tuesday in August, this year the release will be on a Friday for the Madden 18 G.O.A.T. version, a deviation from the typical Tuesday release. If you want to stick with only the standard version, you’ll have to wait for the typical Tuesday release following August 25th. The new Madden 18 has made NFL news, with several new features, upgrades, and improvements over Madden 17.
By far, the biggest upgrade from Madden 17 to Madden 18 is the switch over to the Frostbite game engine, which means specific upgrades and improvements in gaming. You can anticipate updated gameplay options as well as notably improved graphics. There is also a teaser floating around that includes the potential for a story mode. EA Sports has historically done really well with this feature in other games, so gamers are holding up hope that the feature doesn’t disappoint in Madden 18.
Madden 18 offers a couple of different matchup opportunities, which bears a lot of similarity with EA Sports Madden Ultimate Team, for which gamers buy madden coins. With Madden 18, you will be able to play with your favorite team or you can choose to play the best weekly match-ups which include the latest rosters. Official NFL stats are available as well as custom commentary.
One of the new features with Madden 18 is that there are three choices of play styles from which you can choose. It hasn’t yet been announced what those play styles are specifically but the assumption is that they will have something to do with improving play calling by the coach. Another new feature of Madden 18 includes upgrades in passing on the field. You are now able to use target passing which means that there is a new capability to pass to any specified place or player on the field. This means there is no need to only pass to a wide open receiver. Instead, you can pass to anywhere on the field.
The switch to Frostbite brings a great deal of anticipation when it comes to improved gaming graphics. This engine is used elsewhere and produces better field gameplay as well as off the field moments, producing more of a story line for the gamer when compared to Madden 19 coins. The cinematic footage that has been released so far looks great but there hasn’t been any pre-release of actual gameplay of Madden 18 just yet.
