Madden 16

Who's a fan of this famous franchise? Do you still play? Have you ever played it in the past??

I played it before but not in quite a few years. The last one I owned had Eddie George on the cover (2001 I think).

Have you played Madden Ultimate Team? It's a mode where you buy cards and packs and play online with legends such as Bo Jackson, Joe Montana and the newest hottest players!!!

This is the first I heard of it but video game playing is far down on my list of things to do nowadays. Sounds interesting though.

I've played a few versions. I think I own the 2009 version for the Xbox, or 2008 or something. 2007? Whatever. Pretty good game.

But the only football game I ever got invested in was Tecmo Super Bowl for the SNES. I played full seasons with that one (against the computer). I could still pop that sucker in and I think I'd do good. Muscle memory, and I think I could still figure out the best defensive plays. Nowadays I'd only play Madden against friends. Partly because I'm not very good at it, but also because I'm just a social gamer nowadays.

Also, I'm a hockey fan so John Madden to me means this guy:

Played Madden on Thursday, for the first time since my Pats won the Super Bowl. Took on Dallas in Big D and laid a 49-28 beating on them. Picked off Romo twice and forced him to fumble. Legarrette Blount won player of the game honors with 135 yards rushing and 4 TDs.

Boom! Have you tried Ultimate team mode?

I have not. Just a casual gamer.

I just got a PS4 this week and grabbed a copy of Madden 16. I haven't had a game console of any sort since the Xbox 360 which I sold back in 2011 and the last version of Madden I played was the 2010 game.

Aside from the obvious graphical upgrades they really seem to have tuned the gameplay nicely. Easy to control, robust options and it feels even more like a Sim than ever before.

For my first Franchise I chose the Rams and relocated them to Los Angeles.
