Madden NFL 18

Madden NFL 18 is part of a football series where the developers relied on history. The story campaign tells about a young player who has talent, true friends and the last chance to get into the big sport. As the story progresses, decisions have to be made that affect the hero's path, and this adds unexpected drama to the sports simulator. In addition to the campaign, there are the usual modes: club management, quick matches and collection teams. The tactical part is still deep: combinations, reading defenses, working with timing and choosing play formations require an understanding of American football. Beginners will benefit from hints and simplified settings, but without interest in the game it will be difficult to understand. Separately, it is worth noting the accuracy of the passes and the work of the quarterback: getting into the narrow window between defenders is possible only with the correct calculation, and mistakes result in an interception, which easily changes the outcome of the match. This is one of the things that makes Madden a simulator and not an arcade game. It is also worth noting that in the story campaign, decisions affect not only your career, but also your relationships with friends and teammates. In addition, there are modes where you can play quick matches or engage in a club without going through the story. It was a notable attempt for the series to add human stories to a sports simulation. The presentation, graphics and sound correspond to the level of the series, and broadcasts of matches look like real television. For NFL fans, this is a neat installment with a plot that is rare for the genre.
