That's a bummer. I was hoping they would get that in this year. Oh well, everything else sounds really promising.

It was a good read, some things that are really nice to see added, especially ball physics which potentially has a domino effect on some many other things. Like the part about how catches have to actually be secured through the process now or they can be knocked out.

One of the best things I read was the part about injury chances for attempting difficult catches in traffic, love that risk/reward being focused on. Hopefully when CFM is announced the injury system itself has been changed to better enhance this new addition.

Also in that vein of risk/reward for injury, I hope to see in the coming years more of an emphasis placed on players being properly effected by impact and collisions. The reckless abandon with which Users are able to slam players into one another, with very little contextual risk, has bothered my for quite sometime. Trying to avoid fumbles shouldn't be the only reason a User should be trying to get a player down or avoid excessive contact, especially with players of smaller stature.

Injury tuning was done on a whole lot more than AGG catching

Only thing I didn't like was "dropped interceptions are rarer occurrences"

Interceptions are way too common. Hopefully this doesn't mean we'll have more interceptions.

Really good read. Just wish we could see how this all works with video! But that's coming soon. Man, these guys are bringing it this year I love it!

From strategy to gameplay. Just a lot of real football. This is the first Madden that I feel knowing real football will be a huge advantage over the cheeser. I hope I'm right about all.

I am super pumped. 16 was so damn good.....they are going to top it. Madden 17 is going to be legendary. Can't wait for the CFM blog to be the cherry on top.

I hope to see non-tackle injuries next.

My optimistic outlook on this is that in previous games it was either: INT or dropped INT. So instead of swats/breakups/tips/organic in-completions, there were just mostly dropped INTs. I agree that interceptions are too common so hopefully the case is less blatant WTF drops and more true to life in-completions.
