I was toying with the idea of getting a console for madden. I was curious what difference there was bw the platforms? I would primarily be concerned with cost as it would literally be a madden machine. I have not played in years and miss it. Thanks!
 
A toss up best I can gauge.

You've seen me around. I'm primarily a PC gamer and I've personally found the PS4 to be an ideal complement. You won't regret having the access to Naughty Dog games, Horizon Zero Dawn which may be GOTY outright and certainly on most shortlists, and other odds and ends like that.

I'm not knocking the Xbox platform, either. It's solid, stable, and still arguably has better online gaming and setup with Live and some games that may catch your interest.

Your call.
 
Who are you going to be playing against? Do you have any friends you'd be playing against online or are you just going solo/local?
The game is pretty much identical on both systems, so I'd base my decision on who I'd be playing against OR whichever is cheaper if this is literally the only game you plan to play.
 
PS4 so you can take the PC blinders off and try some of the exclusives the console is worth buying for otherwise. But the PS4 also typically has better ports of games than Xbone too, at least in terms of graphics/resolution.
 
Scorpio may change that, but it won't be immediately at it's release. It will take players and devs a bit to see if this entire mid-generation release is worth anything, and if better games start coming as a result of it.

Just by itself, Scorpio (and PS4 Pro) haven't really done a lot to change anything.
 
I just bought it for the first time in 10 years myself. Maybe we can play as two scrubs? :)

My nick on PS4 is the same as this one : texuspete00
 
Still looking for a used one cheap and local. Otherwise yeah.

I am looking hard at the xbox one s w/ madden bundle though. It is cheaper than a used ps4 and madden.

Got a two month old used ps4 500gb fatty with fifa 17 for $167 shipped on ebay. Feel good about it. Will trade the fifa towards madden.

edit: probably keep fifa and buy madden 17 and update the rosters. 18 looks like the same game.

Um yeah. After going over the reviews for 18? Def going to get 17 for $20 and update the rosters. It is EA so I DOUBT they will fix the major issues with 18 until 19.

2KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

EA sucks a big one. As always. Crushing dreams and pissing upon them.

I still haven't read any reviews yet, and will probably pass on the game anyway. I just haven't been able to enjoy football games since 2K was forced out. Although, when you look at their latest NBA2K game, and the ridiculous micro-transactions (which they say they'll re-balance) may their football wouldn't be much better now.
 
I am enjoying Madden 17 atm. Just about what I want. Real casual. Fun to throw with Rogers.
 
Madden 17 and 18 are similar like usual. 18 plays and look just slightly better.

I am really enjoying the arcade mode when friends are over though. It makes it a lot more entertaining to play in a group setting. bigger plays, hits, turnovers. It brings back some of the fun that has been missing for a while to the game.

Honestly, I would just get a Xbox and sign up for EA Access OP... $30 for a whole year and you get access to all these games and they continue to add more. Not to mention that it includes all your sports games.
