MUT Squads on the other hand is a mode that really surprised me. I’ve never been into Madden‘s Ultimate Team in the past, but this three-on-three mode will definitely force me to get into it this year. Each player is assigned a position on-field (such as Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator, or Defensive Coordinator), and the team takes on players from each of the three players’ separate squads. Having to form real football strategies while playing with other humans is a lot of Madden 19 Coins fun, and while the enjoyment will definitely depend on who you’re playing with, I had a blast in the few matches I was able to put together.
Madden NFL 18 is an impressive leap forward for the series. Not only is Longshot an ambitious and fantastically told story, it’s one that isn’t limited to pre-existing football fans. There’s also more ways to enjoy the game than ever before, as there are several play styles that will mold the game into either a more realistic or arcade-like experience depending on what the user desires. EA Tiburon has set a new high bar for the series, that they’ll have to work towards reaching every year going forward. For now, though, NFL fans can enjoy one of the best sports games that Electronic Arts has ever put out.
