Are you happy where madden is in this part of the cycle? Were you surprised how different it is to be on the other side now?

And good point about the player tendencies btw.

THANK YOU. AJ, you should be around here far more often to smack down people.

Haha, nice.
We're always gonna want more info but overall I think it was a good teaser. Did I mention player tendencies?
Hopefully, there will be some more big improvements released in April and May.

I'm not, I'm telling you what EA told us a few years ago.
Don't give the NFL a pass.

Plus, penalties don't even work yet in Madden. Only holding, facemask and clipping work.

Roadman is right the nfl and ncaa can put the cabosh on anything in the game. Years ago ncaa said no to tearing down goal post when it was already advertised in the game. same with helmets coming off and personal fouls. Personally the only personal fouls i would like to see in is horse collar, especially seeing that its a tackle animation already in the game.

bro.. get over yourself. I know what a teaser is.

I'm saying that this "teaser" was pointless IMO. What problems have plagued the madden franchise for the past 6 years? Gameplay. I'm sorry, I'm not with the blind faith crowd.

Madden has been such a dud for the past few years. Why wouldn't it be any different this year? The point is they have MUCH to prove. A pointless teaser (as I see it) isn't compelling enough for me to jump back on the madden train. This is just the hard truth, and I don't know how else to say it.

First, stop calling people "bro".

Second, you don't know what a teaser is. A teaser is to give someone a taste of something. Do they show much in a teaser trailer for Thor or Cap'n America? No, they generally show the main character doing something cool for a few seconds and then put a date up.

Like AJ said, gameplay is not in a state to be shown. The fact that you keep coming in here with a viewpoint that is far more useless than the teaser, which showed off NEW features in a game that is more than 5 months away from hitting our mitts, is ridiculous. That teaser was not pointless.

I agree with you that gameplay should be improved. But guess what, everyone here wants gameplay to be better. To think anyone is fine with Madden stagnating is being ludicrous. I fail to see many people "jumping back on the Madden train", I see a lot of rational conversation, which you are not adding to.

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I do feel like some of the features shown in the teaser are pretty exciting. To have some sort of tendencies and hot/cold players is a good start, I think, for Franchise. I'm definitely intrigued to see what they have next.

This is a shot in the dark as I am not sure if I am seeing it correctly. But looks like there could be dynamic attendance in this game.

In the two FG scenarios you can see in Green Bay the stands are full when the kick goes through. In the Miami FG attempt it looks like there are alot of empty seats at the FG goes through.

I am just interested in a legit gameplay overhaul though. So I will save my thoughts for a later date.
