Madden NFL 17 Gameplay - Short Video Clips (GameInformer)

[mrprice33]

I'm trying to figure out what difference it makes to get video on August 18 or August 1st, to be honest. It's not like it's going to sell out and you won't be able to find one.

Impressed by seeing an Olineman leaving a double team block to make an attempt to pickup a blitzing CB. Running looks a little smoother, but still needs work.

Ratings and Ball Swat mechanic.

I think people are just accustomed to more footage by now, and also a different kind of footage. Some are just impatient. Definitely a little easier for you since you've had hands on time with the game.

As for me, I do miss the unedited off screen footage from past years, but I've seen enough to know what I'll be getting when I finally do play the game....

It probably comes down to impatience for me. It's nice to see unedited gameplay footage rather than cut and curated moments. Will it make a difference? No, I'm buying it anyway. But I am excited about the game and would like to see more unedited gameplay.

Yeah man, what's way more baffling is why anyone claims they don't understand that POV, smh. It's one thing to say it personally doesn't matter when footage gets released but it's sounds absolutely absurd feigning ignorance to why it would to others from a gamer POV. I stress gamer POV because anyone not affiliated with creating the game and can only see game play when it's released by others, presumably wants to see as much they can, as soon as they can.

Seemingly any and everything EA Tib chooses to do concerning this game, has some excuse or reasoning offered up for why the issue is us and not them, even when they contradict. For example, it's supposedly confusing why anyone would want the latest game play build possible before EA Access but it made perfect sense people wanting alpha EA Play footage, which mainly had to come through EAGCs. Think about that logic, it's supposedly completely understandable why gamers would want to see alpha build game play a little over 2 months from EA Access but it's unfathomable why it would matter to them, seeing a more polished version after that, before EA Access.

To top that off, that's being posted in a thread started less then a month from EA Access, about an article with M17 montage video clips but why it matters to anyone seeing this stuff play out, in uncut game play, in the latest build, before EA Access, is supposedly beyond comprehension.

I see both sides of the fence on this one.

For some, the game is already pre-ordered, minds are made up and people will get the game without pre-ordering. For some, the minds are already made up and they aren't purchasing Madden.

I agree unedited game play used to be seen up to release, but that appears to be different at this time. I thought Rex said a few weeks ago that streaming will be in August, no? The calendar flips in 3 days?

I would think the people most interested in seeing the game play is the people that are still on the fence and not sure if they are moving forward or not purchasing.

I don't think there will be much change in people's opinions that are purchasing the game or not purchasing the game. Ohh, that looks good, oh, hey, look at that, or, same old Madden, not buying, I'll rent or get as a gift or not renting.

Am I wrong?

Yes, as far as the interpretation of what some are claiming. It's one thing for people to differ on how much it personally matters seeing the latest footage ASAP but pretending to not understand why anyone would want to is absurd. Excuses around Madden have gotten beyond silly, to the point where people are basically saying "why does any video footage matter before release". Seriously Road, follow that logic, if video of game play from the latest build is supposedly irrelevant before EA Access, then what's the relevance of any video of game play period before the game releases? It's just plain silly, common sense says people find game play video relevant for similar reasons any time prior to release.
