I couldn't agree more. I really like what I have seen for this year, but some of the things they removed irk me. As others have said, we should be getting more features in a next gen release; not trading out old ones for new ones.

I can appreciate a reduced development cycle and am truly excited for a new football game. I just hope the differences we've seen in how the team communicates legacy issues ahead of release is a sign that things truly are changing. In a few years, we could have a great game, but this isn't the first year I've said that.

Just wait to you see all the stuff not shown by EA. Like when there are next to no penalty's for a 10th straight year. When Sliders do nothing. When Subs don't work or stamina is broken. When Slow game play brings out the same stuck in the mud bug and you can't slow down the game speed. Lets not forget what Madden is known for. You will enjoy the game for a week or two until something major is broke and you are waiting months for that promised patch to fix the game so you can play. You will not enjoy this game from day one. You will be waiting for good sliders to try to fix the game. Roster editors to fix the poorly done rosters and the second patch to fix something major broken. We all know the first patch will already be on its way before release. That second patch feels like forever. This game is what it is. Don't get caught up in the hype. Know what you are buying. Take the game for what it is.

This made me smile!

Sometimes you feel like they've run out of ideas, so the only way to keep features flowing is to remove something and then re-introduce it later. Thing is, there are lots of things that need to be added to this game, so it's hard to fathom how they'd be at the point of running out of ideas.

After watching most of these videos, I am truly excited to play the game for myself via the EA Access trial period. I am hoping that we get the full version of the game so I can lock it in on All-Pro, turn the speed to slow and adjust some sliders (run blocking, pass accuracy, etc) to get a better feel for the gameplay improvements. IMO, Madden 25 on next gen systems was a pretty big step up from the last gen version. Graphically, not so much, but gameplay was much improved and felt much more "solid". Graphics alone, Madden 15 is a giant step up. I am hoping the gameplay takes a similar step forward. I will be getting the game either way, just can't wait to get my hands on it to try it for myself.

Fwiw

@jpdavis1982: @ClintOldenburg What happened to signature QB throwing motions and stances? It looks like they were removed. I thought that wouldn't happen

@ClintOldenburg: @jpdavis1982 nothing has been removed

I beg to differ pointing at the video proof. Every QB stance and throwing motion looked identical to me. Maybe my eyes are going bad?

Is is just me or are all these videos having really really REALLY fast gameplay?
