I honestly havent bought a madden game since around the 17 mark and tbh it feels the same, nothing really new for me that ive noticed, the story mode is fun, the celebrations when getting a 1st down or scoring a touchdown is fun and new but the game all round isnt really an upgrade, there are glitchs and bugs that need to be fixed in the game with kicking and punting, i would recommend this game if you havent got a madden game or are new to madden but if you have the last couple of maddens i wouldnt bother unless you gotta catch em all.
