NHL 18 is a great overall hockey game that improves on everything that NHL 17 brought to the rink. Certain features in franchise mode don't come together into a complete unified experience, but it's night and day improvement from last year.
Madden 18 is one of the most ambitious installments that EA sports have put out with Longshot being introduced into the fold. While I think there is plenty of room to improve in Longshot, I am excited to see Devin Wade's NFL career in the second installment. If you're franchise mode fan then you will probably be a bit disappointed, but Madden Ultimate Team is well worth your time investment.
Madden NFL 17 gives fans what they have been asking for and more, including an expanded Franchise Mode and smarter more accurate AI. This is a love letter to any die-hard football fan.The gameplay is solid and more accessible. Sports games have never come this close to making you feel like you were running on the field.
If you keep your expectations reasonable before you jump in, then you can easily enjoy yourself.
