So how does the FIFA story mode compare to this? Is it a similar thing?
The big difference is the balance between cutscene and gameplay. As Alex says in the video, he feels that he is about halfway through Madden's story mode and has only played like one full game of football. FIFA's story mode has WAY more actual football in it -- that's probably it's weakest part -- so it ends up being more like 95% matches and about 5% actual story. There's a lot of grinding through games with very little story payoff.
I really hope you guys consider having longer episodes in the future.
I don't know; so much Giant Bomb premium content is 90+ minutes, so it's nice to have a series that is much easier to get through. Plus it's a tighter experience overall due to the time constraints.
I didn't realise I was on the stream for most of this - wasn't aware Jeff was streaming when he joined the server - so I was delighted to see my incessant queuing of all the bangers in this server's music library cropped up on stream.
