Don't really like the sound of in-depth player profiles. In-depth usually means really specific which is good for play now games but a disaster for franchise mode. Kind of like the QB intros. It's the Year 2020 and it's still Matt Cassel who took over for Tom Brady blah blah blah. We'll see though, hoping for the best.

I can understand why crowd-sourced play calling is there - this generation of gaming is all about sharing your experience with your friends or anybody else - but the idea of a head coach asking the crowd for help for his next play call is an incredibly amusing picture to me. lol

I want to hear more about the defensive AI improvements, pass rush improvements, and "concept plays".

This doesn't really tell us much. I'm not expecting anything different with the pre-game and halftime shows.

Hopefully the focus on defense means tons of new animations on that side of the ball. Specifically defensive backs having their own animation sets and not just doing the same things as receivers do.

I am cautiously optimistic.

Like to hear some focus on the defensive end.

When I quickly read, I saw revolutionary new and play calling system. I totally disregarded the crowd-sourcing part. For a minute there I thought that they actually cared enough to finally introduce tiered play calling.

Yet another variation of ask Madden though is obviously better...

I agree with this. I hate real life commentary in my ccm. Especially when they are talking about people who are no longer on my CCM franchise.

I doubt it would be the case, but I would like to see generic/dynamic player profiles. For example, you have a player who isn't happy with his playing time and it effects his performance on the field. Or someone else is battling an injury, so your're not sure if and how much they can play during a week. Or playing a rookie QB (CPU controlled) once they've been eliminated from the play-off race
