I just hope it is a defensive player, thus indicating a focus on defense; prefer gap play.

I could see "Los Angeles Rams," QB Jared Goff.. Welcome home Rams.

Agreed. I'm not saying it's always bad but there are time when things happen and you just say "that's madden"

Hopefully the cover boy is based on what was focused on this year offense or defense

Unless triangle throws a duck ball vs the standard lob or Papa John's is sponsoring connected careers, Peyton will not be on the cover. I would hope ...

While we're speculating cover athletes, I suppose I'll throw in my uninformed guess: Panthers MLB Luke Kuechly.

I'm still playing Madden 16 to this day. I'm usually done with them before the Super Bowl. Last year was a huge step in the right direction. I have faith that this team will keep it moving on the right path.

Clint seems pretty excited about it, I don't remember him ever being this excited about 16.

To me, there are some things Madden 17 needs to get right. We've been without them for far too long in that all of these features have either been present in Maddens of yesterday or present in sports games of our own generation.

(1) - The ability to adjust formation subs prior to the game - particularly in CFM. Perhaps even custom packages to incorporate three halfbacks or to move pass rushers into position on third down.

(2) - Off-ball injuries and injuries to offensive / defensive linemen.

(3) - Coverage assignments on defense.

(4) - Custom / modifiable draft classes.

(5) - Streamlined & Accessible 32-team control in CFM.

(6) - Open, meaningful, realistic special teams play that makes the third phase matter and not an arcade-like waste of time.

Quite honestly, I'd accept the existing gameplay with those features, but nonetheless I'm excited to see what EA has done with the gameplay.
