That hasn’t been the case however with the “Madden NFL” franchise since 2012 thanks to its team-building mode and agreement with the NFLPA. The incredibly popular card-collecting Ultimate Team mode now features freshly drafted rookies introduced in conjunction with the NFL Draft for its sixth year running with “Madden NFL 17.” The players enter with cards reflecting the type of ratings they may start with in the next game (in this case “Madden NFL 18”) along with special future editions that rate them at what their perceived full potential is envisioned to be....

With so many strong open-world games on the market, it can be difficult to stand out amongst the crowd, especially when on the outset, you bear a resemblance to the titan that is the Grand Theft Auto series.

Oregon played without five starters, including defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, who could be the first overall pick in next spring’s NFL Draft. The weekly Newsweek top 20 saw as much shuffling this week as it did after the first full weekend of games. Alabama remains at No. 1, followed by Georgia at No. 2. Ohio State plummeted from the third spot all the way to No. 15 because, well, they lost at home to a team without five of its starters, and the Buckeyes didn’t look like a top 10 team....

The old military man smiled at the nervous South Dakota schoolboy, a signal that the question was just fine. Troy smiled, too. It was the first time he’d ever talked to a real-life hero from World War II, a man who had marched in the Army infantry in Europe. The boy would never forget it. But the talk wouldn’t have happened without high-tech wizardry in the classroom. Troy was sitting in a school in the tiny town of Viborg (population: 763); the veteran was 250 miles away in Pierre, the state capital....

Three-time defending champions PSG face Caen in the Coupe de France semi-finals on April 14 and, if they emerge victorious, Silva hopes his compatriot will return in time for the decider on May 8....

Neymar 12/1 to be Champions League top scorer All eyes were on the Brazilian superstar following his world-record €222 million move from Camp Nou but he coped admirably with the pressure as PSG ran out comfortable 3-0 winners at Guingamp to continue their 100 per cent start to the Ligue 1 season.
