How come the halftime show and the entire second half of the Steelers Chiefs game gone?

(Yes, the defense needs to be improved from what we're seeing, [it should be improved in retail], and other things like player movement [should it look more fluid? yes, but not a deal breaker]) but seriously, enjoy the GAME for what it is, a GAME. If I wanted Madden to be as real as some people here want it to be, I'll go play for myself outside or watch the NFL on tv. Sorry, rant over.

Yea your right. They don't seem like the goal is to be authentic to the NFL. They probably won't even charge $60 for it. Your right about playing too. Going out with 4 or five guys like me who are average athletes gives me the exact same feeling as playing an nfl game as a elite player. Let's just be positive all the time so that way we don't hurt any feelings.

I don't understand why some are getting so butt hurt over criticism of madden. It's like we're talking bad about your girl friend that you thought was a 10 but, we're saying is a 6. If it's "just a game" then why is criticism of it seemed to upset some so bad?

After rewatching it on Youtube I am wondering if they jacked up the brightness settings to show off the jersey and helmet details better. Also I missed the Haltime Show on Twitch so after watching it for the first time I have no complaints with it. It is exactly what I want in a Halftime Show: quick, precise and to the point.

I liked the stat overlays. But most of them disappeared too fast.

It was nice to see that the drive summary is back.

I'm not saying be positive all the time, like I said, constructive criticism is a good thing, it helps things improve. I guess what I'm saying is constructive criticism is good, nitpicking is bad. How's this analogy? It's like your working at your job... constructive criticism is your boss suggesting something and letting you work.. nitpicking is your boss micromanaging you and always over your shoulder until you meet their expectations. If that happens, it's NEVER satisfactory.

Not sure but I really wanted to rematch how the CPU played the last 2minutes of the first half. It didn't seem right watching it live

My guess is probably nothing. It's been the same for years.

I would like to know how they will handle those qb video montages for rookies, generated players, drafted players and traded players

I suppose I could be blind, I didn't really anything in this stream that bothered me. Not a whole lot that outright floored me either (except that one run by the CPU-controlled LeSean McCoy, I can't recall a CPU RB ever acting that intelligently or skillfully in Madden).

Would help if they had more enthusiastic presenters, certainly, and IMO they should bring back the slide deck so they can explain what we're about to see in the game and why it matters. Hard to pick up on everything just watching straight gameplay.
