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.

Gameplay will be the third week of April, not the teaser video. The schedule of events for releasing information was given yesterday.

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.

bro, you need to stop taking it so seriously about me calling people bro.

Anyway, I just stated an opinion. If that makes you upset. I can't help you.

And I'll say it again. This teaser was pointless IMO. I have seen other teasers like for instance Super 8.. I want to see that movie YESTERDAY. The trailer for Captain America.. Ehhh.

The Madden trailer failed to tease me enough to be interested. Is this acceptable enough for me to say without being scrutinized? bro?

Then you will need to wait like the rest of us and determine if the scheduled release of information is still pointless to you.

Isn't the surprise onside kick and field goals gameplay? I know some things are in that teaser because that's what you wanted but it is glimpses of gameplay. And I think not including consecutive hit tackles in that shows me it's not going to be happening again. Which is a bummer.

I asked that in the first podcast and Ian mentioned they would address it.

So. let's hope it's addressed April 18th.

A grainy shot of an onside kick taken with a phone camera and a tiny low res YouTube video of a field goal embedded in a teaser. Little detail, gets across what we mean to get across (though I will say only one person I've seen has figured out what the field goal video is showing).

What I'm saying is that if I were to post a video of gameplay right now, it'd do neither of us any good because it would look nothing like what we will ship with in August.
