What's the matter, geekboy, afraid to play a little FOOTBALL?
only if it isn't
NFL
BLLLLLLITZ
wow you made me mad(den)
Is it a spike lee joint?
I'm not interested if that's not the case.
>>376715865
This, to be honest.
There better be ghosts.
I'm not even in handegg but sport games with story modes are GOAT
>>376713794
What games let me trigger an ex neofag mod?
>>376713794
>Tom Brady named 'Madden NFL 18' cover boy
>play the Chiefs 1st game of the season
NOOOOOOOO
>>376713794
What will the story cover? How to deflate balls without getting caught? Some stealth part where you record other teams' practices? Maybe a wife beating simulator?
>>376716136
>Having the Madden curse for one year didn't stop them
>How about a second???
>>376716136
>boycott budweiser
what is happening in the us? what they have done?
Was the story mode in FIFA a successful venture then?
>tried to play football IRL, embarrassed myself completely
>look at game, maybe I can be good at that
>fall asleep almost immediately after game is turned on
Football and I will never work out. I'll stick to just talking about the gym to my Chad friends it gives us just enough in common.
>>376716223
why the fuck would he announce his drug deals aloud?
>Progress for EA is catching up to 2K
EA's better be thankful that the NFL only wants to give the rights to them, cause 2K would fucking annihilate them given the chance.
PATRIOTS WON THE SUPERBOWL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
FAILCONS ETERNALLY BTFO
I honestly don't think I can watch NFL anymore after the super bowl. There's nothing that could possibly top that
>>376716793
>tfw no handegg and divegrass games by 2K
>>376716605
You have to be excited by the things that happen in football to actually be able to invest in the video game. Madden is a romanticized and exaggerated version of what actually happens on the field
>>376716793
>Mfw 2k makes madden feel bare bones in comparison
>Can't even make your own football team with your own design you have to select from pre made designs and names
At least now every year you can get it for free from the vault
>>376713794
>I unironically enjoy madden I just wish they'd actually put in effort to make it closer to sim. GOAT on the cover = instabuy
Featuring Aaron Rodgers path to homosexuality.
>>376719674
>I unironically enjoy Madden
So do I. 17 was probably the best Madden game they've made in years. I just hope they don't change engines and use the "we had to take away all of these features because we are on a new engine" excuse that they've used in the past.

The NFL is one of the largest places to find grown men that treat superstition and karma as worldly truths. Brady is insane. I sure hope he has a health insurance policy. The Madden curse always affects those on the cover. Gronk was on the cover last year, and he was plagued with injuries.
>>376720254
>And he was plagued with injuries
Much like every other year of his career. Dude is a glass cannon.
>>376720239
>17 was probably the best Madden game they've made in years.
too bad theyre still catching up to 05 and the series has been regressive in nature for well over 10 years
>GOAT edition
Really wish normies would stop stealing our memes
wake me up when theyre allowed to make ncaa games again
>>376720480
Yeah, it's still behind the best games of the genre. The last few games have actually felt like genuine improvements over each other though as opposed to 60 dollar roster updates. Hopefully they keep going in that direction instead of taking 2 steps backwards. It's EA though, so I'm sure they'll screw up somehow.
>>376720719
>NCAA football game on Madden's current engine
Fuck, I hate that it'll never exist. Madden still doesn't have the features that it did when it was at its best, but the actual gameplay is better than it's ever been. An NCAA game with Madden 17's gameplay would be great.

>>376720774
do they have
>playbook editor
>formation editor
>ability to set player packages that allow you to do things like bring up I formation with an extra guard substituted for a tight end
No? Because these things were in Madden 05 and last I checked in like 13 they were not in the game
>rented Madden 13
>start up a game, all pro difficulty, dont even go to all madden
>run a dive play on first play of the game
>DT bursts through the line and stops my halfback for a 3 yard loss
turned it off and dumped it back in the redbox 10 minutes later. That was my last madden experience
>>376716712
Because he is a liberal faggot.

Nah, the features are still lacking when compared to 05. They brought the practice squad and formation substitutions back though. They also changed the scouting system and brought back the combine for franchise. But yeah, feature wise it's not even close to being as deep as 05 was. Which is a shame because the gameplay is better and more realistic than it's ever been and it's actually fun to play defense now. I'm hoping they keep going in the right direction, but I have my doubts.
What's so bad about a DT tackling you for a loss though? Was it a shitty one?
>>376721502
>What's so bad about a DT tackling you for a loss though?
unrealistic, should never happen that way, especially not on first play of game, tackling for a loss on a dive play basically requires your center and guard to literally fall down on the ground
>buy this game to make a character to project my sad and miserable being onto to at least give myself some validation even if it's just a bunch of 1s and 0s with my name on it
>nope actually you play as chad michaels the hip cool high school quarterback getting a shot at stardom voiced by channing tatum and his goofy sidekick played by michael cera´
>>376716793
>EA's better be thankful that the NFL only wants to give the rights to them
EA pays something like 100 million dollars per year for the rights
>>376721691
these gaes have had story mode shit forever. you always play as your own created person. this won't be any different
the one time they tried a real "story" was fight night champion and it killed the series.
God fucking dammit I'm so fucking tired of hearing about Tom Brady
Just to point out that they did story mode in FIFA 17, and it was mostly well received.
Essentially, what it'll be is this:
>short match where you play as a kid
>cutscenes and flash-forward
>play for college team
>cutscenes
>drafted by some team
>cutscenes and a bit of gameplay
>BAD THING HAPPENS
>comeback
>win superbowl
You won't create the person you play as, it'll be voiced etc. and they'll have cameos from stars
>>376721983
NBA 2K did something similar
>>376716136

Whilst people on /v/ are autistic fucks, atleast we're not insane, crazy autistic fucks.
>>376713794
Doesn't always the guy who's in the cover of madden has an accident?
>>376713794
>EGG SHAPE
>FOOTBALL
Sure smells like black/brown in this thread
sports sims have been terrible lately. 2k17 was fucking abysmal
>>376722146

fallgrass is literally the worldwide sport of all brown and black people bro...

A more insular culture will do that to media. I mean that faggot likely has no one to talk to about that shit irl so they drag it to all walks of the internet.
I mean hell it's why so many retards here are wanting to talk about not video game shit because where else are they going to go?
>moving away from Brady nation in 2 weeks
>New home team is going to be the Titans
They're good now, right?
Right?
>>376720668
>>376720935
>>376721182
Why
This is great news because I love madden
>>376722684
Titans missed the playoffs with a QB injury, they flew under the radar for a lot of people but they're a solid team. I expect them to make noise next year.
>>376713794
It better be a fucking gripping, kino af storyline. Intense L.A. Noire style contract negotiations. You have to meticulously manage your media presence and wrong choices ruin your reputation. You actually have to play training camp and practice to win a starting job, and you can lose it at any time if you fuck up. PED's increase your stats, but there's a risk of failing drug tests.
>>376723304
You're out of your mind if you actually think the story mode will be any different then
>WIN GAME
>MOVE ON
>LOSE GAME
>REPEAT
with pointless drama in between.
>>376723417
Hey I can dream can't I? The fignt night champion storyline was pretty good I remember.
>>376723304

>>376713794
Sure, I wouldn't be caught dead spending money on a Madden, FIFA or NHL game.

Will I be able to rupture scrotums like in pic related?
nba 2k story mode was shit
fifa story mode was shit
madden story will be shit
sports devs wasting time and resources on story mode instead of gameplay is the second biggest cancer in sports games after ultimate team faggotry

Oh, you dumb little burger. Also, real football did the story mode first. Copycats, as always.
I think being on the cover of madden will actually kill that football player.
>>376722258
>association soccer
Not sure if bait or retarded.
