I have played madden since the late 90's/early 2000's as a kid and honestly this game is pretty solid and I decided to buy it after I spent the 10 hours on the EA Play Trial.
With this being said, The part of the game that stands out to me the most is the Face Of The Franchise mode which I was honestly worried about when I first heard of the changes that were coming to it.However, It really seems to be well put together and worth the money as I plan to spend most of my time on this game in this one mode.
The negative aspect to it? As many others have said, we really got the short end of the stick when compared to next gen updates. However, I think most of these updates will come with their fair share of kinks to it.
Overall, this game deserves 4 out of 5 stars and anybody that is using the old gen xbox ones or ps4's (myself included) should highly consider upgrading to the new gen before next years release (which may very easily not even be released on xbox one or ps4 if we're being honest).
