One minute I think there actually trying to create a awesome game and the next minute there pulling the wool over are eyes and give us this? Just when this company was getting on the right side they go back to the company i can't stand. I may cancel my preorder

I pray you are wrong my man, but I fear you may be right.....

I'm holding out hope. We will see what happens....

Well I don't know what build it was from but it wasn't retail, just got this from AJ.

@jpdavis1982: @EASPORTS_AJ Hey man was the stream today from the retail build or an older build?

@EASPORTS_AJ: @jpdavis1982 I don't have retail copies yet. Why do you ask?

Now as far as people being disappointed today, other than the lower quality stream, I think the difference today was expectations.

Most people had low expectations before the first stream. After last weeks stream the expectations were raised and anything that wasn't better than last week would be seen as meh or a step backwards. My expectations have been the same all along and I found today and the stream last week fairly similar.

The AI issues people have mentioned for the Eagles Jags game are because it was user vs user.

Most of the presentation was as I expected, half time show especially in the second game, looked pretty good. I'm hoping for CFM they will have some commentary about standings and playoff races.

just saw way too many drops. the slant that Brown ran that he dropped was head scratching..

I hear ya JP. My only question is, and this is an honest question, not trying to troll you or give you a hard time my man, but even though it's a user game, does that make it ok for CPU controlled players to be braindead?

I do have a feeling this was an older build so I'm not quitting on Madden or anything, just trying to understand why I saw what I saw today.

I'm right there with ya man praying After the first stream I felt positive about madden for the first time in a long time, but after this one total opposite. Feels like same Madden all over again and nothing looks like the first stream.This doesn't even seem like this is playing on a PS4 colors look PS3ish. I just think if it was a earlier build why wouldn't they mention that at all? is my question

Then what's the excuse for the poor A.I in the first game? That certainly wasn't user vs user.

Am I right when I mentioned the guy playing the cpu has no clue on how to call defenses?...and if that is the problem,then they should've got somebody in there that knows how to play defense and call plays at least based on the offensive formations.

Because what was shown sure didn't show off the "improved" defense,and this was played on All Pro for crying out loud....

I think it was just to showcase Presentation and Graphics and they needed guys on hand that are responsible for those elements of the game. Still, I agree they should've had Rex there and that other guy they had in the last stream because watching gameplay with guys that know how to play is much different than watching guys that don't play the game much or very well.
