"All NEW!!" aka, exactly what I predicted yesterday - a manipulation of the recruiting points process, and further micromanagement of 'skills'. We've been asking for an immersive experience and that was accomplished primarily with presentation & fun factor on PS2/Xbox, not a waste of time upgrading minuscule traits that will hardly matter (not to mention probably more prompts for micro-transactions)... Is this Borderlands/Skyrim/Assasin's Creed? Or a sports game?

I just think someone else needs to be heading the direction of dynasty. It's flat, and has completely sucked each year on this generation of consoles.

And still no 85 man roster

Further use of arbitrary XP points =/= immersion

Dude, it's literally every year.

In the offseason there is no point limit. During the season there is a limit. You can raise this limit though with coach skill upgrades

Shew very unimpressed. I am so sick and tired of little gimmicky upgrades such as ultimate team, recruiting gimmicks, assistant coach hires. Who friggin cares? It's insulting to say Hey we have a newly revamped, exciting product this year.

What is so hard about upgrading user players in an OD from 12 to 24, 38, 120 etc???

Graphics anyone? Is current gen maxed out here???

Didn't see a thing about neutral site games, even though I do like this update.

Ultimate team? Don't need it. Wasted disc space as far as im concerned. UT is fantasy football that has no need in what we all seem to like and that's dynasty mode.

What has been fixed from an AI perspective? This is my greatest concern. The gimmicks, I could care less.

I know I am beating a dead horse but it makes me feel better.

+1

Friggin' ridiculous. Makes me sick that EA is so sorry as a game developer.

EA doesn't develop games. They are a publisher. Tiburon(sp) develops this and Madden.

and I am saying that the answer was only for dynasty not teambuilder which was the initial question.

# 150 kjjnesb @ 05/28/13 06:15 PM

I was never big into recruiting personally but revamping the system to make it more accessible seems strange.. I mean I really think this mode is in need of some depth and more substance imo.

The whole thing with the coaches getting XP is a nice touch but I was somewhat hoping the more immerse aspects of Madden would make the jump.

You know, he could just not answer any questions at all.

# 153 fballturkey @ 05/28/13 07:09 PM

Thank god recruiting will be faster now. That's a massive improvement for me.

# 154 Soonerfan14 @ 05/28/13 07:11 PM

There are some more improvements and changes, those two were just the two major changes, just have patience guys

There are people who actually care about Ultimate Team and new recruiting. Not everyone is going to like the changes they make every year...

# 156 SageInfinite @ 05/28/13 07:22 PM

I must be tripping, because the ball carrier running actually looked decent on that quick in game clip. I want to see more now.

Hoping you are right. It's almost 6:30 pm on the East Coast. If they are waiting to reveal more later in the day for the West Coast then cool. I think when a day is set aside for a big dynasty reveal and you only show 1 major aspect (Recruiting) and some (much needed I admit) fixes to coaching carousel, people are going to naturally think that's all they did. Unless of course the May 28th Dynasty Playbook release is really a three day event and we get more info coming.

I think that's what they are doing...yet released their major things today, and are going to startle letting stuff out the next couple of days.

# 159 b61mack @ 05/28/13 07:28 PM

In my humble opinion the biggest problem with this game over the years is player progression and import draft class issues. These things are never addressed and i do not think we will see this until next gen. Even then probably years into that.

# 160 Exile04 @ 05/28/13 07:37 PM

I'm interested, but not happy with the return of the bust/gem system. that is such a terrible system. we should never be able to find out there ratings before getting them on the team. With what looks like the Madden team actually listen to the fans. It seems the NCAA team did nothing at all.
