4.5 stars out of 5.

I've seen some posters ragging on this, but after reading the review I can see why it got the score it did. Kat enjoyed everything the game has to offer, except for CFM (though draft boards & Play Now Live were mentioned as positives). Based on the review itself, I can see why it's 4.5/5.

Rating just doesn't match the review in my opinion.

	At the end of the day, Madden 18 definitely skews more hardcore than even the average sports sim. Its multiplayer community is infamously cheesy, and the core fans speak a language that is scarcely understandable for even the average football fan.

	More than ever, Madden NFL is a demanding but fun simulator that accurately represents the real-life sport

4.5/5 huh? Mmk

Kat's a good reviewer, that's high praise giving it that grade.

Thanks for the link roadman,
This was one of the best written reviews that I've read in a long time.

It is a bummer of a review in my opinion because I only play Franchise and Career modes. But hey, at least the MUTheads and FNG's will find something special about it.

The review was informative without showing any biases. I kind of agree with Brightline about the 4.5/5 star rating after reading the review, but the good must have outweighed the bad for her.

Yeah, he calls out lack of CFM some. It'd be GREAT if he said something like, 'for most of the game, specifically the gameplay, I give it a 4.5/5. It plays great. But, it's still truly lacking a serious franchise simulation of the sport which should be in every sports game. For that, u really have to knock the score down to a 4/5. If they really focused on CFM for an iteration, this might end up being a 5/5. But, until they do that, it's just really not even a serious sports game for true fans of the sport.'

For a 2 page review and only find a few sentences, that's good.
