Was gonna sign up even tho I don't live in Florida, then I saw this:

Get your pre-season on early and help us test EA Sports Madden NFL 16 before it hits the shelves! We're looking for 24 people to help us test AT our Tiburon studio in Orlando, Florida on Tuesday, June 9th.

I figured it wasn't worth wasting my time after reading that.

Honest question for anyone who is in programming and game development..what are the chances someone at this session catches an issue and its fix in time? I would assume it only minor fixes?

It looks like they are coming out of the Alpha test phase (in house developer/engineer/test team testing) into the Beta test phase (test team/some users).

They will be looking for user input and still have time to address Sev1 and 2 issues - usually items that inhibit a certain piece of functionality from performing correctly or completing. These are really game killer bugs that must be fixed before the game can be released. By the time Beta test rolls around, they should have found these already...but you never know.

Other cosmetic type issue or lower priority issues are Sev 3-4's and can either be fixed if there is time or put on a list to possibly address in a patch or next release. My experience is that sometimes Sev 3's get handled while Sev 4's almost never get addressed.

So...they have 3 months left before release of the game so there is some time available to address some issues. However, they also have to deliver the game by a certain date for CD burning and my guess is that is probably a month or 6 weeks before release...but I am not sure.

Give who hell? The developers? They want the game to be good just as bad as anyone here, like I said people will start paying attention to what they're doing with M16, especially the gameplay.
