Madden NFL 18 (2017)
Money Grabbing Waste of Time
I have never experienced a company as greedy as EA sports. The game has continued the new trend of the franchise of making the best packs available for insane amounts of real life money. This started to get out of hand in Madden 17, but this is almost exclusively pay to win. There is no way that a person who spends no money can win a game against a person who does buy the packs because the cards are just too good. Now to get into the gameplay itself. In my opinion, it far surpasses Madden 17, but is still atrocious. Every single juke animation works no matter how good or bad the card is. For a specific example, I have seen 97 overall mel blount get spun out of his shoes by the gold leonard fournette card. Thats all i will say about that.
Also on the topic of animations, catching this year is also reliant on getting lucky animations. There is no consistency no matter the receiver. Besides the laughably ridiculous juking, madden also decided to introduce ball carrying traits. For some reason , when I shift the ball carrying to conservative, which means there is a less chance of fumbling, but also less chance of breaking a tackle, my back ends up fumbling the ball more often! What? Not only is EA greedy, they are mentally slow. The greediness and retardation needs to stop. The game needs to go back to being about skill, not luck. No wonder EA has been voted worst company in the U.S.. Madden sucks. Fix it.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III (2015)
Not Call of Duty
Multiplayer: Worst cod multiplayer ever, besides ghosts. Advanced movements ruin the game, and so many guns are op. A lot of people camp, and spawn trapping is a huge problem. If you have played the game, you know how annoying it is when people use the gorgon against you. The black market makes this a pay to win game, as the chances of getting a weapon out of there are so slim, it costs hundreds of dollars to actually get something. Mp gets 1 out of 10 in my opinion.
Campaign: Too many robots to kill, it didn't feel like a Call of Duty story to me. The storyline was very confusing, and some of the underwater missions were extremely difficult, even on regular difficulty. The last mission was anti climactic, as even though I completed it I had no idea what was going on. Nightmares was a cool change, especially for a zombies player like me, and because nightmares was good, single player gets a 4 out of 10.
Zombies: Best zombies mode ever. Shadows of evil is a very cool and unique map, the first city map for zombies. Only complaint is that you cannot do the easter egg solo, but i wont spoil it for anyone. The giant, a remake of der riese, is a fun, straightforward zombies map, with not much to do except set up and survive. Der eisendrache is probably my favorite zombies map ever, as it contains elements from mob of the dead, the zombie eating dragons, and from origins, the four separate wonder weapons, the bows. This easter egg can be completed solo, but it is tricky but very worth it in the end cutscene, but once again I wont say what happens. The castle idea is very cool and mysterious, also. I have the xbox one, so i have not played zetsubou no shima yet. For me, zombies gets a 10 out of 10.
All in all, if you are not a zombies player, do not buy this game, as multiplayer sucks and the story mode is only decent.
