I'm enjoying myself using it thus far. The Mut 25 coins game is generally good but there are a few areas where it could be improved (OL/DL battles are a good example). Special teams are no longer an uninspiring game. Commentary is a breath fresh air. There's lots to enjoy here.

In the time since Kevin doesn't play franchiseHave any of you other players entered the game?

I'm only beginning to get started with the idea. It's been awhile since I was a big enthusiast of the XP idea however it's working slightly better than it did previously. However, I'm still of the opinion that CPU teams aren't diverse enough in their playcalling strategy and personnel decisions. which can put a bit of an impediment to the game.

I like the idea of XP however XP is just so fun. Affiliate points or some other thing can make it sound more sporty and less RPG-like. The idea of enhancing the performance of players has always been an appealing idea for me.

Franchise mode is where I was the most of my time playing almost every sport which includes Madden is no exception. I am a huge fan of playing the Play The Moments feature, and am so happy to hear that the Madden team has finally got their sim engine that is quick and fast working perfectly. I also like the new practice team. One constructive critique to this particular mode I'm able to provide is that the menus are presented in a awkward as well as "Windows 8" sort of way. There's a lot of scrolling and clicking around to find everything, and some options are available in multiple places- it's extremely complicated. Also, it's a bit disconcerting to see some statistics like "Thrown to" aren't being recorded during games, meaning you're one of the teams that is forced to use other statistics to assess your DBs. Other stats aren't match up with simulation cheap Mut 25 coins games, for instance contactbacks, assists tackles and tackles for loss. They aren't significant in the perspective, maybe but they remove a bit of real-world realism when you compare your game's stats with the other players in the league.
