Madden NFL 18

5 Tips You Should Knew Before Starting Madden NFL 18

Madden NFL 18 is almost upon us, with its full official release happening in just two days. Our review for the game is already live, and you can check that out here. EA’s annual football game has several new features, including a brand new story mode separate from regular gameplay, that you’ll want to take stock of before just diving right in.

Madden NFL 18 has been released on August 25 for PS4 and Xbox One, but here are five tips I wish I knew before starting the game:

6

You Hardly Play Any Football in Longshot

Longshot mode in Madden NFL 18 is the series’ first attempt at a story mode. Whether or not it will appeal to you is hard to say, as it certainly has its fans, but it also has its detractors who say it’s watered down on both the Telltale and football aspects.

One thing is for sure, though, you don’t play much actual football in the game mode. You never play a full Madden-style 11-on-11 game. You play a few very specific scenarios under the guise of “memories.” Besides that, you play two matches of 7-on-7, one to 21 and the other ending with a cinematic after getting to 28 points. The only time you do play a real 11-on-11 situation is during the game’s climactic challenge, but it just presents you with a series of challenges (lead a 99-yard touchdown drive, i.e.), rather than having you play the full game. Depending on how long you take with these, it’s likely that actual football will take up no more than 1/5 of your actual playtime during Longshot.

But Longshot Does Offer Useful Rewards

Sure, we may not have cared much for Longshot has a game mode, and you might not either, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t rewarding. Playing through and completing the Longshot mode will give you rewards for your MUT Squad.

The Madden Ultimate Team (MUT) is the ultimate fantasy football mode, allowing you put players from all different teams and even different eras on one roster and pit them against both CPU and Online opponents. And while the rewards in Longshot will likely not be substantial, depending on your playthrough, I’m sure you’re not one to leave money on the table.

It’s More Adaptive Than Previous Installments

For a years now, Madden games have always tried to adapt to what’s going on in the real life NFL season. This is usually something as simple as stat changes based on players’ performance, but Madden NFL 18 takes it to a whole new level with its Play Now Live feature.

Play Now Live lets you jump into the NFL season at any point, with any team and play that match. This will take into account live stats, trades and injuries, and even the commentary will be updated to include context of how the team has done so far in real life. Playing Madden during the NFL season might me more rewarding than ever, and Play Now Live might be the only real way to play during that time.

Trading is More Difficult to Exploit

If you’re a Madden veteran, you’re probably very practiced at gaming the system during Franchise Mode. Easily exploitable trade A.I. combined with the possible unexpected emergence of rookie players might have made your franchises pretty lucrative with just one or two trade offers that CPU teams would accept.

Well that isn’t the case anymore. The Franchise Mode AI in Madden NFL 18 has now been tuned to add bonus trade value to both rookies and players in the first year of their contracts, making it much harder to nab those players that the game thinks are up for grabs but may not be. Also, in the NFL landscape of Le’Veon Bell holdouts and Jimmy Garoppolo holdouts, Franchise mode has also adapted to put a higher premium on backup running backs and quarterbacks.

You’re Probably Better Off Without the “Target Passing” Feature

One of the new features in Madden NFL 18 is the “Target Passing” feature. This makes it so you’re not just pressing a button to determine who to throw the ball to and holding that button down more the faster you want to throw it. Instead, Target Passing gives you more control over exactly where you want to throw the ball around your targeted receiver.

Unfortunately, this should be considered a work in progress. It seems the only real option for the Target Passing mode is to throw slightly in front of your intended receiver, which would be where it goes anyway with just one button press and no loss of surrounding vision. Any alterations to your ball placement will likely confuse the receiving AI into missing your pass. This isn’t to say that a system that allows you to, for example, back-shoulder a pass or throw your receiver open by putting it deeper, wouldn’t be good. It certainly would be. But, as far as we can tell, Target Passing is not that system just yet. Maybe give it a few more Maddens.

NBA 2K18

NBA 2K18 News: More Updates Are On The Way

The NBA 2K community has had their voices heard and there are more updates on the way for NBA 2K18.

Per a 2K representative, I spoke with via email, one of them will address an issue with MyGM and MyLeague. One of the features that were supposed to be available for MyGM and MyLeague gave fans the opportunity to eliminate duplicates from their base roster when using players from Classic, All-Time and current teams.

That feature didn’t work properly as both filters would eliminate almost all of the elite stars in your player pool.

Per 2K, that bug will be fixed in an upcoming patch. There will likely be other fixes to those two modes and perhaps more in that update.

We don’t know exactly when this specific update will be available, or when the next title update for NBA 2K18 will go live, but it’s good to know work is still being done to improve the gaming experience.

One area 2K still needs to address is the offline create-a-player feature. The system was downgraded significantly in NBA 2K18 and many of the community’s content creators have pushed for some sort of improvement to this aspect of the game. Days after launch, a 2K rep said: “we can’t patch the old system back into 2K18 but we are working on adding as much into the next 2K18 patch (after day 1) as we can.”

We’re still waiting for that update. Other common issues are related to mode stability within The Neighborhood, clipping during gameplay as well as shot make-and-miss ratios. NBA 2K18 is one of the largest games available for any system, but there are areas that still need to be addressed in almost every mode.

Hopefully, fans will ultimately be treated to a game that can execute all of its brilliant ideas.

FIFA 18 Wonderkids: the 6 Best Young Players to sign in Career Mode

FIFA’s Career Mode lasts for 15 whole seasons, and if you’re hoping to achieve long-term success then you’ll need to build for the future. Of course, there are so many options at your disposal that it can prove tough to know who to spend your precious cash on.

That’s where FFT comes in. We’ve identified every FIFA 18 wonderkid who begins Career Mode with a potential of 90 or higher (at time of writing). If you train them well, pay them handsomely and offer plenty of valuable game time, then you’ll soon have the world’s very best players lining your squad.

1. Kylian Mbappe

Rating: 83, Potential: 94

a

Need to know: Given his 83 overall and 94 potential ratings, PSG’s newly acquired forward proves the ultimate pick of FIFA 18’s wonderkids. This year’s game implements a significant bonus to his potential rating over last year, improving attributes such as sprint speed and finishing along the way. Invest now, and you’ll bag a lethal striker for the duration of FIFA 18’s Career Mode.

2. Gianluigi Donnarumma

Rating: 82, Potential: 94

b

Milan wonderkid Donnarumma is the only goalkeeper on this list. The 18-year-old has emerged as one of the world’s top shot-stoppers despite his young age, and this leads to an incredible 94 potential rating in FIFA 18. As an added bonus, his 2018 contract expiry results in a potential free transfer opportunity in Career Mode.

3. Marco Asensio

Rating: 84, Potential: 92

c

The 21-year-old Asensio made 23 La Liga appearances for Real Madrid in his first full year at the Bernabeu, while he also netted in the Champions League final. His potential has soared to 92 in FIFA 18 as a result, with the only downside arising from his increased value and wage demands in Career Mode.

4. Ousmane Dembele

Rating: 83, Potential: 92

d

Despite suffering an unfortunate injury following his €105m transfer to Barcelona in the summer, Dembele’s current and potential ratings are still improved in FIFA 18. The 20-year-old Frenchman’s 92 potential puts him among the game’s elite wonderkids, and he benefits from outstanding speed, dribbling and five-star skills attributes.

5. Gabriel Jesus

Rating: 81, Potential: 92

e

Initially, it can prove tempting to overlook the 81-rated Jesus in favour of Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero. With enough perseverance, though, Jesus’s potential can rise to 92 – slightly improved over FIFA 17. Bragging 93 agility, 92 balance and 89 acceleration, you can’t afford to overlook this talented, 20-year-old Brazilian.

6. Thomas Lemar

Rating: 83, Potential: 91

f

Lemar is another to benefit from a big addition to his potential rating this year. The same applies to his overall rating, thanks to upgrades for his dribbling, vision and crossing attributes. The 21-year-old provides one of many compelling reasons to take charge of Monaco in FIFA 18’s Career Mode.

NHL18

NHL 18 is a Solid Game, but it Lacks in New Modes

NHL 18 is the latest installment in the long-running hockey simulator franchise and it comes in rather quietly. Launch trailers, gameplay reveals, and typical advertisement before the launch for the game was rather slow. And that is perhaps this is the off year for the NHL franchise.

What I mean by this: every so often, sports titles in particular, usually have a year where not a lot of new improvements or features were added to the new installment. We saw it with other sports games as well, MLB The Show, Madden franchise, and even the revered NBA 2K series. It’s hard for developers to turn out a new version of the game within a year. It takes time to come up with new gameplay mechanics, dynamic features, and an immersive story.

6

Even though this might be NHL’s “off year” it is still pretty good for Hockey fans and newcomers alike. I for one am a casual hockey player, so one of the problems I face every time I play NHL is that I just don’t know how to master some of the moves in the game. Passing and shooting are relatively self-explanatory, but actually understanding why I’m doing what I’m doing is always a concern of mine. This is where the new Training Camp brought to the game by Team Canada comes into play really nicely.

Before even starting this game and learning about the training camp, I told myself “I’m going to hit YouTube and learn a little bit about the gameplay and rules of Hockey. To my surprise, NHL 18 has a new feature which details moves, plays, and lets you practice them as Team Canada. This was an awesome feature that obviously made my time with the game so much more worth it. If you’re like me, you will definitely want to head to the Training Camp and sharpen up your skills with the new informative videos and practice demos.

Besides the new training camp, NHL 18 also comes with the new 3 vs 3 modes where players will be able to play circuits across the country, recruit players and mascots, and compete online. This was obviously one of the new big features of the game. This is where players can enjoy themselves with a little arcadey style of gameplay. The format is fast-paced and intense giving players a fresh feel to the usual style of playing NHL. It also comes packing a new hilarious MC which will voiceover the match alongside a modified version of the ice rink.

The NHL Threes is a good time and is worth checking out if you pick up the game; however, besides the two new features mentioned above – NHL Threes and Training Camp – NHL 18 seems to be recycled from last year.

Players can start their own franchise and take them to the Stanley Cup; create their player and have them join a team; or take their skills online and battle it out against other players. NHL still looks visually stunning with faces of players looking realistic, the crowds in the back get excited when a score is made, and the commentators with their dynamic conversations. The game is a solid buy for anyone who enjoys hockey, but for players who were hoping for new features or modes, this title will bum you out.

It Looks Better Than Ever

While gameplay always comes first. When playing a sports sim, you want it to look like it does on TV and as this is the second year EA have used the Frostbite engine. Madden 18 is one of the best looking sports games that is out there right now. It has a presentation that really does suck you in and makes the game look more like a TV broadcast than ever before.

It Has A Story Mode

This is a bit of a weird thing, but with Fifa and the NBA 2K series introducing a story mode to their games. Madden 18 is also doing the same thing. Now while some people may skip this mode and just get straight into Ultimate Team. It is a fun mode and one that is very different to anything you have ever experienced in a Madden game before.

Better Game Play

Skill really does matter in Madden 18 with a target passing system, coverage assignments and lots of different play styles. You are going to really have to think about the way you approach the game. There is going to be far more skill required to play Madden 18 than any other entry in the series!

NBA2K18 Novice Play Practical Guide

“NBA 2K18″ open beta has been 1 month, the player “powerdiy” to provide the novice play guide, interested players to see it together.

This generation on the line more difficult, starting a career for the old players enough, but the novice players are still very difficult, after all, many people are still playing rookie level, this generation of professional feel more difficult than the 17 career, but the star A little gap.

Operation feels like a lot of people say that some progress, but only limited to the old players. Believe me, most people still look at the “move table” … … so tell me that my experience to share, even if it is a novice, skilled after trying to play high evaluation and high data is not difficult.

1. 5 positions Every time I play at least 30 games, find that you are God pitcher or full shot, no use. Clearly shot but did not line so high fault tolerance, so my advice: do not long shot!

2. with what they choose one-third, God cast, not as affordable rebounds, dunk, absolutely easy to use. Play is a variety of rebounds, want to score on the basket back or layup and the like hit rate at least better than the shooting

3. The AI is still a bit to force, especially the opposite, when you want to brush when the assistant remembers to empty AI, as someone next, even if you do not expect him like the same as the vacancy, “100 step wear Yang”!

4. Even if you are full of steals, but also other casual X copy of the opposite ball, the success rate is low to the hair. Want to copy the ball my personal two methods are very easy to use, one is more ancient as AI standing in the passing line and other steals, but also one in the AI dribbling can move back and forth, the success rate is high, Often hit away.

5. have rebounded in the world, if the first play 18 lines,
