Good football, bad storytelling, can't lose: Madden 18 review

There is a lot to unpack with the entirety of this newest Madden release, Madden 18, and overall I'm happy to say that mostly positive things are to be said about the game for once. However, there is one new and distinct game mode that bears special attention.
