I've been ready for a madden story mode I'm happy about it. Just hope we can customize the character

From what I read on Operation Sports, there's a possibility that the story ends with you getting drafted and you may not be able to play NFL games

Those experiences are largely built around playing through a particular sport’s regular season; games in the schedule are interspersed with cutscenes. That’s not how Madden 18’s story mode works. “All of the games within Longshot, none of them are the main character playing a 2017 NFL schedule,” Young explained in an interview with Polygon this week. “This is a story about getting to the NFL.”


quote:

“Our philosophy [with Longshot] was a playable movie, versus, like, a career mode with cutscenes,” he said.


quote:

Devin and Colt both start at the Regional Combines, and they eventually get an opportunity to start on a path toward the NFL. Longshot runs from there up to the NFL Draft — no further.


quote:

Longshot brings in some features that longtime Madden fans will recall, like training minigames...to include quick-time events and branching dialogue choices...seven-on-seven training drills without pads, and flashbacks to high school games.

You can't customize the character. You're stuck playing as Devon Wade and it looks like you're stuck playing for that one high school and then Texas in college

WTF? They've been working for three years on a mode where you never play in the NFL??

It's gonna be a trash mode. They said some of their ideas came from the Uncharted series so it's gonna be 90% movie I bet. I was excited when I saw the trailer, but then when I started reading the details about it I lost interest. But it's EA, what do we really expect from them?

Between this and FIFA's Journey mode, I wonder who told EA that people want to play a movie — because they lied.

I'm sure CCM will have player lock mode or whatever again for an actual player career mode, just like FIFA kept player career.

But wow, they don't get that 2K scaled back the movie stuff from the Spike Lee one to last year's because people just want to play.

The issue with most my career modes is you can't create your own story. I want to be able to have a personality and make my own career path and decisions. I still think Madden 07 had the best career mode for that reason.

I'm in this boat myself. Same with 2k. 2k's quality has slowly gone down the drain as they've shifted more and more resources to MyPlayer/MyTeam

This is call of duty campaign mode but you only go through boot camp.

Nba 2k was so dumb the last few years with the goofy nicknames.

Let's completely ignore that I had a twin sister who was black like the rest of my family while I was white.

My biggest irk was when I was doing the dumbass frequency vibrations dance after I made a shot while my opponent dribbles down the court and scores.


Nothing I could do about it and the other team gets points and I get docked for "leaving my assignment" YOU DIDNT LET ME GUARD MY ASSIGNMENT frickER

but anytime anyone complains about that you get called racist. I'm white and don't have any problem playing as a black guy. The problem I have is when it gives me the choice and I pick a white character and then it gives me an all black family and tells me I'm twins with my black sister. I was gonna think "Ok maybe I'm adopted" but no they had to throw the "You're twins" thing in there. It didn't make any sense.
