I care about both and it's perfectly fine. One doesn't have to be placed above the other when a team dedicated to each. The art team handles art and game dev team handles gameplay. Idk why the concept is so hard for some people to get

I would also like rookies who are coming in with dreads to have a picture of someone with dreads. It's immersion breaking for me. Or heck just tone down the amount of rookies coming in with dreads.

I am going to throw out this blanket statement and I certainly hope it's not being judged for it's silly content, it's not intended to. There will be certain parts of the whole game that all 6 million people who purchase the game won't be happy with. DD- Yeah, I know they are being vague, but that's the way the roll before the news starts trickling out.

Ehh, I think you misunderstood me or I wasnt clear. My point is that a discussion on May 12th about whether or not to give the game the benefit of the doubt or judge based on history or twitter and whatnot is silly. Some may be optimistic or pessimistic about the game but it doesnt matter because the ultimate decision to buy or not isnt made for 3 months.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

U ever play NFL game day back in the day? Now, THAT was a stiff arm! I remember the sound effect, 'jeBOW!!' Lol. That was a little arcadey, of course, and I don't want that, either, but it was so rewarding to set your RB up at the right angle on an incoming defender and 'jeBOW!!' In madden, it has ALWAYS felt like the stiff arm starts to trigger the animation, and then u still get tackled. U rarely actually break the tackle. So, I'm def curious as to how well this is implemented, as I used to be a big fan of running the ball, but when jukes and stiff arms and trucks never work, it just feels so empty.

The stiff arm hasn't worked proper since the PS2 days when you pressed R1 and L1 for the stiff arm and they actually attempted it. My issue the current stiff arm is that when you press the button they don't even attempt it most of the time.

They could fire one person or so from the art department and hire more people for the Dev team, and thus get fundamentals down..

I care about the jerseys the most; the way they stretch and distort is the most annoying of the art/graphic parts of the uniforms. So I do have my art issues too..

Happy about the franchise mode focus. Hopefully whatever they've done works relatively well on day one. Sports games these days are a tale of new feature; messy execution. It's the price of innovation on an annual release cycle I suppose. In any case, really looking forward to it. Love what Rex and company did with 16. My favorite football game other than NCAA 14.

One nitpick is the shoulder pads. I don't remember which model they used as a reference, but you don't see too many players with that "X" pattern under the shoulders.
