On the show, he’d get coaching and advice from real NFL talent to give the show some value to sports followers and hopefully get the exposure he needs in order to get drafted.

That said, he’s lucky enough to get a chance at demonstrating his skills at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he gets solicited by a couple television producers to be on a reality show called Longshot–a show that follows one NFL hopeful (a longshot) on his journey with the hopes of making it to the NFL. The roughly five-hour story mode puts players in the shoes of Devin Wade, a kid who knew he wanted to play quarterback until tragedy struck his family, causing him to leave the college ranks and throw his NFL potential to the sidelines. Quite frankly, Longshot is reason enough to pick up the game–even moreso if you didn’t pick up Madden 17.

This year, the biggest addition aside from being the first game in the series to run on Frostbite, is the introduction of Longshot, a Telltale-style story mode that easily tells the best story out of any sports game before it (yep, consider that “shots fired” at NBA 2K16‘s Spike Lee story). Last year’s game was a major breath of fresh air with the inclusion Brandon Gaudin and Charles Davis at the announce booth in addition to a refreshed franchise mode. Thanks to the Frostbite Engine, this year’s iteration of Madden is the best-looking one to date, but if you’re looking for anything new with gameplay, Madden NFL 18 is sadly more of the same. The NFL season is less than a week away, and with that of course comes a new edition of the only licensed NFL game you can buy, but is it another hit?

All you need is a glimpse at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to see how great the new Madden looks.
