I feel the same way. This year I wasn't excited about Madden and wasn't really looking forward to it but after every blog that gets released I get more excited.

I had an opposite impression with Madden 16, seemed like all DBs had brick hands when bad balls were thrown right at them.

This is a major concern and legit one .Mainly because we all know people in past have spent alot of time to find glitches to block fgs at will. Now given some kind "feature" to do it, i can smell a youtube video coming. Hope to be wrong, but its a very legitimate concern.Only time will tell

There's youtube vids on how to do everything in every game.. I think you guys are being overly negative without seeing anything. They even put this in there:

"Rest assured there are cap systems in place to ensure users do not exploit this new implementation of kick blocks."

I doubt people are blocking a kicks regularly. That would just be dumb and I think the devs know that. You could use the "what if it's OP or broken" for every announcement for every feature for every game BEFORE anyone plays it.

The lighting has a REAL problem in this game and it needs to be addressed. Look at the disparity between the following two pics in Madden 16:





Now, if you looked at that top pic and said "Man, that looks like a 4pm+ game", you'd be off by 3+ hours. BOTH pics are 1pm games under clear sunny skies, one is outdoors and one is indoors, and somehow the top pic looks like a completely different time of day, more like 4pm or a little later.

===============================

But now it's time to get crazy, and this is the part that shows how messed up the lighting is in this game:



^^^ Guess what the time of day is for that pic? 4pm. But hold on, why does this pic at 4pm look BRIGHTER than the first pic in this post at 1pm? Makes no sense, right? Of course it doesn't. This is just bad.

They need to fix that. This has been a problem for WAY too long.

Everything sounds good so far but I'm waiting to see if they fixed pass blocking and pass rushing before I get too excited. To me that area of the game is the weakest and most unrealistic. If it isn't drastically improved then my hype member will sink way down.

I was really hoping to hear/read something about user control over fumble recovery attempts - like catch/defend pass but for fumbles...

...one button for scoop and run and a secondary button, most appropriate would be dive I think, for just getting down on the ball.
