And these two things alone would be enough for me to geek out over Madden 17... gap assignments especially since I've been begging for them for almost 10 years, but if I ever got that in an updated Madden AND access to authentic defensive line stunts AND could combo them up with different coverages, I just might locked myself in the house, disconnect the phone, and cut off every person in my life. I'd turn into a straight up shut-in.

Always interesting, this time of the Madden release year...see what could be.

I want to both thank and congratulate the SS crew for tirelessly keeping that flame alive and continuing to give a flesh and blood voice.

I am always excited for Madden this time of year. It's really great to hear from the devs as we get these peaks. Rex sounds authentic from that interview.

As a long time Madden fan, from the days of the very first release...I temper this with the reality of having been here for every single Madden release...till it's shown to all work at release as the box describes, it's all just new Madden promises and new Madden release hype to this customer.

I look forward to being pleasantly surprised with more Madden 17 news.

P.S. the situation Rex outlined at the beginning, politely describing the working intra-relationship with "Marketing" sounds really dysfunctional. Life in corporations huh?

Hmmmmm. I dunno player. I don't remember the animations being that smooth in the actual game of Madden 25 (or any Madden since PS2 for that matter), nor the player models looking like that. I mean, if that was a "target" I get it, but that means they messed up real big by saying "Actual Gameplay Footage".

I wish the animations for Madden 17 would be that smooth and fluid.

Rex sounded about as angry and frustrated as I did after finding out that custom draft classes or player editing in CFM wouldn't be in madden 16.

It's really good to know, there is much more than that trailer, I couldn't understand why they would put a trailer out with some of the stuff still showing that has been a negative to the game. (such as players walking and looking at the play, when its clearly not over). Can't wait to hear what are some of the major announcements.

I really appreciate the candor from him but I also hope he didn't get into trouble for it.

Eh I doubt it. The game has to be marketed to two very different groups of people. The people like us who go on forums to talk about the game and the casual players. The casual players won't even know who Rex Dickson or why what he said about the trailer in this interview matters.
