It is a unique RPG element that has been successful in other sports franchises like NBA2K and FIFA. Click here to check out Heavy’s breakdown of Story Mode and what we know so far about the mode.
Madden 18 will have three different modes for players to choose from: arcade, simulation and competitive. Arcade mode will have limited penalties and is aimed at fans who enjoy scoring. Simulation mode will be for fans of the franchise mode with everything staying true to the ratings of teams and players as well as NFL official rules. Competitive mode, as the name suggests, will be aimed at the competitive gamer.
The game is also getting bit of a visual boost with the Frostbite engine. Fans are expected to notice the most difference when it comes to stadium designs, crowd visuals as well as the sidelines of each team during games.
