I’m gonna talk football. Digital football to be specific. According to UPS my copy of Madden 17 just left Kansas and is due to arrive by 8/24 end of day. The game comes courtesy of some scut work I did for a textbook provider I don’t actually use in the classroom. That is the beauty of such things: I can be real honest about the product I’m not beholden to.
I’m beholden to madden in a certain sense, because it is the only product on the market. That is likely why I was not honest about the level of utter suck last year. It was so bad that I failed to complete a ten year franchise and basically went back to the PS3 version of madden 25. At least the ads were good. They’ve gotten even better:
The game looks better and appears to hold more promise for all modes of value to me. I may even try to do the game as a player. Couldn’t be better than the 2k modality but who knows how good it could be? The largest change is the joy my youngest gets out of the game, with him now being a QB/RB and wearing my one time #14. I’m a bit stoked to share the new game with him but more stoked to play it myself on those late thursday evenings when the game is on on screen and the video game is on another. #firstworldglee
Some Thoughts:
- All this really means is that there is a madden 10 minute review on the way and it ought to be a doozy.
- School is also on the way. Monday. Holy crap I’m not ready to meet 150 new students and be responsible for their academic success… I need another drink.
