　　Now Playing: Madden NFL 18 Video Review

　　Madden NFL 18 has been playable on Xbox One for EA Access members since August 17 as part of a 10-hour trial.

　　GameSpot's Madden NFL 18 review scored the pro football game a 9/10. Reviewer Alex Newhouse said, "It is a marked improvement over the last several entries in the series."

　　In addition to a nice visual boost from the franchise's first-ever use of the Frostbite Engine, Madden NFL 18 introduces a story mode called Longshot that features Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali.
