Madden NFL 17 Features Focus on Franchise Mode & More - Bundle Info & 2 Screenshots

I have listened to Rex's interviews over the years and I began to believe what he said starting after 16 came out. If he said CFM was an area that needed improvement for 17, I believed that area would see improvement.

I'm really interested in the defensive AI enhancement, sounds like Denver's D was an inspiration?

I think that is what will be the focus of the teaser/trailer. They had Antonio Brown and Von Miller in a couple months ago for some sort of shoot so I'd expect to see something similar to last year where they show a quick shot of Brown and then show the game and him making a juke or spin and then it will show Miller and a quick shot of something defensive. It's harder with a pass rusher but maybe showing him engaged and getting a strip sack or knocking down a pass while engaged. I wouldn't expect to see much more than cinematic shots though. They'll save the big reveal for their event.

"ball carrier feedback cues."

Seems a little confusing; a Cue is something given prior to an action, while Feedback is something given after an action.

I only hope, that if cues and feedback are required, the defense must be more intelligent; defensive fundamentals, especially in the areas of DL mechanics and pursuit lanes.

That's basically exactly what I thought of. Something that tells you to make a move as you're coming up on a defender. I think in the skills challenge there's a mini-game like that too so I don't know. If it means some new moves and animations that look good and play out realistically and the whole cue thing can be ignored then it sounds promising.

Yep, when i said we already had something similar in training, I was referring to the skill challenges. I just couldn't remember what Madden called their training mode.

That's how I feel about it as well without knowing much more. Hopefully it's something that's locked out of online play as well.

Hopefully the Drive Goals were scrapped...............Never made any sense to me for a team Sport where it's all about the "W"

Or maybe the option to turn off the goals? I am a huge proponent of options; the more the better.
