Re: The installation of game modes in madden 18

Highlight the Madden NFL game on the main menu of your console. Press the "Pause" button on your remote. This will cause a heads-up display to appear on the screen. On the HUD, scroll to the "info" button and click on it. Various pieces of information will appear, including one that says "download status". This will tell you how much of the game still needs to download for all of the features to be installed. 

Thanks for the insight.  I will give it a try.  I have a slow internet connection and if this doesn't work I will have to plug it into my router.
