WR/DB interactions are one of several gameplay features that I think people will be incredibly impressed with. When Webb pulls Brown's arm away from the ball as he tries to catch it in the trailer, is just a small taste of what's coming.

I like the sound, but when it comes to Madden I judge with my eyes. Hopefully CFM brings something nice to the table.

EA is a company and it's a business and they have to try to make $ but Rex and the developers are pushing hard for simulation and people will start to see in Madden 16 and future titles that they are serious about this and trying to deliver what we are asking for. They have a plan and it may take longer than most people would like, due to the past mistakes and issues created, but they are working towards something and I believe it will be very special. Going back to Madden 15 I believe I called it the "Turning Point" of Madden and I believe Madden 16 will be the "Head Turner" for this franchise. The game is going to IMO, make some of the doubters believe, but some will still remain doubters due to expectation and EA's track record in the past. Like Rex said, they have a lot of gameplay improvements/features yet to be announced and according to his post, they will be coming in the weeks leading up to E3, so we should have plenty to talk about even before June 15. FWIW, the GC'ers and the rest of the guys are FAR from hype men, I'll explain more when NDA allows.

I hear you man, I don't question the devotion of Rex or anyone else, I just question how much can actually get done and pan out with all the seeming challenges to achieving that goal. Also, even IF everything that's touted actually works or at least allows Madden to turn a corner, I'm still left waiting for the other shoe to drop. For Madden 16 and beyond, it's what's not been done/fixed that will ultimately determine how I receive the game as a whole. Some of that actually isn't fair to the game play team, with regard to things out of their purview like presentation, CFM, etc but it is what it is.

Let's say for Madden 16, game play is finally tolerable for me again but CFM still is what it is, that's still frustrating. Right now I just don't play it period but liking the game play without a immersive career mode to accompany it would be gaming torture, lol.

Is there an implied ETA on when they believe Madden will be a complete, not perfect, football game?

I think your eyes will be pleased. I will be shocked if most people aren't at least happy with the WR/DB stuff if not completely blown away.

CFM is honestly what worries me the most. It's been three years since CCM was introduced and there have been virtually no advancements in terms of player personnel or staff and it looks like it could potentially be more of the same this year with changes to the scouting and draft which I thought was one of the few things that didn't really need to be touched. You can't even look at attributes of guys in free agency. It's just a mess.

A-freaking-men. I'll lose my you-know-what if we see OCs and DCs. And not those BS ones in "game prep."

I third that about CFM and imo the lack of a progressive injury system, ala HC09, with true NFL statuses (probable, doubtful, etc), is just as egregious, if not more so, than missing penalties, lack of offsetting penalties and choosing what to challenge. ( both of which were in an older game). It's baffling when the stadiums in CFM have a wear and tear system but not the players.

Fellas fellas fellas, y'all know the drill. Tiburon releases game features and promises this is gonna be the madden that's gonna change the balance of world power. Game changers, and Mods co sign on it and begin their you guys should believe what they are saying, mantra.

I say, tiburon. Put up or shut up. One brief vid of your game doing exactly what you are advertising on the box will silence the critics and make the skeptics optimistic.

I wish Ryan moody could show any 3 of his vids on national TV, in a Congressional session, judge Judy, the commissioner of the NFL, to John Madden himself, and make his case as to why we need someone else making football a football game. Then challenge anyone on the planet, especially tiburon, to show footage refuting those 3 vids and demonstrate why tiburon should be making this game. My crusade is changing.

If we can't get another publisher to make a football game, then maybe we can get the publisher to get another development team to make their game. I'm tired of this BS.

What does this have to do with Madden 16?
