There have been a few community members that are prominent in the Madden Ultimate Team world asking their Twitter followers for constructive feedback on what they would like to see changed gameplay wise in Madden NFL 18. I'm here asking the same thing, but to the OS crowd.
Two rules - keep it constructive (and in a positive nature) and respect other's feedback (even if they differ from your own).
Other than that no opinion or idea is too big or too small.
Have at it.

Let's dive in to the most important fixes:

UPDATE: Here are the official Madden NFL 17 patch notes:
- Fixed a gameplay issue where the player on defense could tell if the opponent was going to run or pass
- Client-side fix for the bug where you could see ratings of the upcoming draft class prior to the draft (server fix already applied to Cloud Franchises)
- Reduce the amount of strip-tackle attempts made by the CPU
- Fixed a major desync which was happening when a user went from Skills Trainer to Online (happened fairly often after the new-user flow)
- No passing icons on PA, Force defender tuning, nano detection system tuning, users not getting stamina penalty when meter depleted
- Force defenders not dropping back vs. run when in zone coverage; Play Action desync; Fumble frequency in MUT solos.
- Lots of high priority gameplay fixes that includes:
- Stripping the Ball from behind the ball carrier is overpowered - We found a bug where the defender was getting multiple rolls at causing a fumble per animation
- Occasionally on Play-Action passes, the user would be unable to throw the ball
- Play-Action Pass Desync Online Head to Head Desync
- MUT Online - Fixed an issue with Cowboys uniforms that could result in a 'white on white' situation
- Acquisitions Screen showing rookie/free agent ratings before the draft - fixed
- Fixed a crash that would occur in the Guantlet after making an interception in the Big Man Rumble challenge
- Occasionally, users were triggering 'Nano Detection' when successfully using the 'Off the Line Mechanic' on RT as a pass rusher
- Occasionally, users would lose all pre-play functionality when selecting a defensive linemen while breaking the huddle
- Occasionally, user would see defensive plays disappear in the playbook screen after selecting an audible during the previous play
- Fumbles occurring too frequently in MUT solos where the CPU-controlled team started with the lead
- Force Players will be better at containing the edge once they get engaged
- Force player will be faster in breaking out of Read and React and into Force
- Cover 1 plays were sometimes not aligning to Trips formations correctly
- Occasionally, offensive linemen would run to the end zone and not block when running no huddle repeatedly in Draft Champions.
- When Force players on the playside of any non-counter runs had a zone coverage assignment, they would drop back into coverage at the snap - this has been fixed
- Fixed a Crash in Franchise mode that would sometimes occur in Franchise mode Practice during goal completion

FINALLY... THE MILL HAS COME BACK...
Well... Here!
The unfortunate truth is that my hitting strategy video has found its way into the ether of the internet, never too be seen again. That's okay because it gives us another chance to pick our brains live!
So stop by tonight! Twitch.TV/OperationSports at 8 PM EDT and learn the ins and outs of the game. And probably see me embarrass myself multiple times.
IF YOU SMEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL... WHAT THE MILL.... You can't smell the internet, but you get the point.
UPDATE: The archives are here, for those that missed it.

When NHL 16 was released, the reintegration of the EASHL game mode -- or at least an alternate version of what folks once knew -- got all the attention. But since release, the game has undergone many under-the-hood changes, and I do believe the game is better than it was on day one due to these updates.

Hey guys,
So Sean Ramjagsingh (Rammer to most of you) has asked openly on Twitter for feedback on the latest tuner, and what better place than here for him to get constructive feedback to use? So here is what I want to do:
Post your feedback on the new tuner. But there are a few guidelines.
Post whether you commenting on offline or online gameplay
Post if you have altered sliders (for offline)
Post how many games you have played with the new tuner
Post constructively
This way we can give accurate and meaningful feedback. Post videos if you'd like, but again - keep it constructive.
Here are the tuner notes (Thanks Jake19ny!):
SEPT 28 - TUNER
Gameplay
- Improved poke collisions to address issues where a puck would be dislodged even when the puck or puck carriers stick were not contacted.
- Increased speed of player controlled goalie when using precision motion.
- Increased the pass error for the lowest pass accuracy slider settings.
- Tuned down agility and ability to generate speed when turning tightly with protect puck.
- Lessened the effect of the speed penalty on the puck carrier slightly when stickhandling a puck.
- Turned down effectiveness of AI players in online faceoffs.
- Goalie will commit more towards the shooter/puck side of the ice to guard against short side shots.
- Lowered the threshold to which a player is able to receive/pick up a puck cleanly.

Since EA MMA doesn't have the license to the largest MMA company, they know they will have an uphill battle in the octagon video game cage. From what I saw today, though, their gameplay may have what it takes to take the fight three rounds, especially due to the "pick up and play" feel the game has/
The biggest gameplay feature, Total Striking, takes a page from Fight Night. It uses the R-Stick to map all punches. Add the Left Trigger/L2 modifier and you have an arsenal of kicks, as well. Blocking is mapped to the Right Trigger, which also allows "Parrying" if perfectly timed (also taken from Fight Night). A/X is your take down button, and B/O is your takedown block. Both buttons are also used as your transition/transition block when you are on the ground.
Now, the controls are fairly straightforward, but it is the way they are implemented that really pushes ease of use. When you push the Takedown button with no left control stick, it will try to use the best takedown move available at the time. But, if you manipulate the stick while pushing attempting the move, you can control exactly what you want to do. This seems to allow for new and casual gamers to not be overwhelmed with the game while allowing veteran MMA fans the opportunity to really pick an opponent apart.
Some things I am possibly worried about are the fighting styles looked very similar on different fighters with my limited time with the game. I hope to get more in depth with the game today and find out how much individualism each fighter has. I also would like to see more punch combinations to see if the "robotic" feel of striking is just not stringing together punches and kicks fluidly on the controller.
