NFL Fever had something called read and lead passing. Instead of icons you used the RS to move a reticle where you wanted the ball to go and pushed RT to throw it

Cpu vs Cpu. That is all.

Welcome to the dark side, you are starting to believe.

one of things i dont see mentioned though about gameplay:

Not one word about oline blocking. i mean hopefully they dont think it was good in 16 because if i had a dime for every time an olinemen stood there and just watched guys blow right by them to sack my QB in a second from snap, or tackle my hb in backfield then id be rich.

Hopefully that was fixed , as i know not everything was put in this first out put.

However , man was that "trailer" weak as hell or what?Didnt expect alot, but that was , well that trailer of hype kinda made me laugh alittle.

Can't be upset with the written words they have provided. I'm naturally skeptical. But if they can pull this off and it all be BALANCED this could be a major shift in madden. I will have to wait and see some actual gameplay on the higher difficulties and not with E3 jabronis that don't know squat about football or the MUT/Competative guys either.

Guy in the Madden 17 thread on neogaf claims to be a UI engineer on the game. responding to a comment on CFM bugs last year he says they haven't skimped on QA this year. Has spent most of his dev time on CFM—so he's still calling it CFM.

Special Teams

In the past, features were implemented which made for great selling tools and cover items; since Rex and team have taken over, there has been an unprecedented amount of Football added to the series. With more yet to come for 2017, and still a lot to do to continue to improve, I can't express how happy I am with the direction taken, and I'm genuinely excited for the future of this franchise.

That's good to hear if it's true. How the drive goals issue got in last year when all it took was playing one game to figure out how big of a problem it caused wasn't a good look.
