Seems they didn't get the memo that they have the wrong color for the 49ers pants. It must have been hard not noticing when actually having access to all 19 games they played in last year... and the 19 they played in the year before that... and so on and so on.

Kane99 told me he had this on his "to fix" list. I wonder what happened with that (what happened man?

).

Notice how they are actually darker and have a different yellow/blue differential in real life. smh.

I guess I'll go back to emailing the NFLPA, Jed York and everyone associated with the game or the league I can contact again. I did actually get a response from the NFLPA last year regarding the gold helmet, and EA/Tiburon actually fixed it midway through the release/media cycle (they showed a trailer that had the old flat tan helmets, then I sent a flurry of emails to everyone I could find, got a response from the NFLPA, and suddenly the helmets became metallic gold). It certainly couldn't hurt, although correlation doesn't equal causation, naturally.

Mods: if you think this belongs in the uniform thread by all means please move it.

I hope they added a strip tackle...

Like it was there just to be there, I never had the chance to get into the feel of the game with madden, everything is like boom boom boom touchdown, dude all alone on the side of the field celebrating, next cut scene dud somehow in the bench area, ,boom kickoff. Everything blazing fast and for no apparent reason, just random cutscenes and banners that wiz by. I'm getting stressed out just describing the,

I think they mostly go fast if you touch any button. Not sure why if I want to hurry to the Line of scrimmage or start making defensive adjustments the banner ads can't stay on the screen.

I hope so, but I think they would of mentioned it as part of the presentation blog. I am excited about banners relating to your franchise

Yeah, for real. EA puts together some nice pre rendered sizzle reels (and slaps REAL GAMEPLAY on it) but until we see someone sitting down with a controller and playing I'll hold my breath.

I assume it will be playable during the rest of E3 so video should start rolling in...I guess maybe tomorrow. I'll hold judgement til then gameplay wise.

Don't quote me as I have never attended E3.

I've seen a lot of really odd trolling and some just downright crazy people over my years here but I can honestly say one thing I've never seen is someone accuse others of being the "gameplay police." I still don't understand that....

Lots for me to look forward to seeing from the gameplay vids coming.

I'm don't particularly care for the halftime/post-game show stuff but I'll be interested to see how it's laid out and how well it flows with playing the game. Definitely be interested in how the cameras and presentation looks. And then of course the DL-OL play as well as pass coverage and this variable pass accuracy that's being touted.

Really hoping to see some CFM stuff today too but I think they might be releasing that stuff tomorrow or over the next couple days.

# 34 Exile04 @ 06/09/14 07:18 PM

I like the fact tha tin the pictures players have short socks like real life instead of that mid stuff

# 35 Jr. @ 06/09/14 07:23 PM

Looks like Jump the Snap is back. Hopefully it's not as overpowered as it was in the past.

Nice to see some adjustments to inaccurate passes. Hopefully they're more of the "just out of the reach" kind and not the "10 yards off right to the defender"

# 36 Step2001 @ 06/09/14 07:24 PM

Hopefully there is specific Audio Commentary for Pre-Season, Regular Season & the Post Season. I know it touches on it, but nothing in-depth.

The audio commentary needs to connect All the years together as you play. Players Breakout Season, Players having a down year. Calling the team who won the Super Bowl the previous season "Super Bowl Champs" during the following season.
It can't feel like just Single Consecutive season's and nothing tying them together.

Rookies, Talk About them, as they are each team future. Presentation wise, add the "R" next to their picture.

Better Hall Of Fame induction announcements. Players passed over and not heard about again making it into the Hall!

Injury System fix! My Players getting a lot of Broken Collarbone injuries. Need new system with setbacks and each player is different when it comes to recovery.
Injuries need to be year round & in practice. Injury recovery need to carryover into the next season.
Players needing Off-Season Surgery and getting updates from Medical Staffs.
The addition of the PUP List!
OL & DL injuries?
Removing any injury blocker based on my depth chart. An injury just happens. If I have a One FB on my roster & he get injured, then I have to adjust by moving a TE over or use another RB OR just stay out of any Alignment that uses a FB. Same with my QB Depth Chart.

Like the Presentation like the QB light jogging over to the sideline during a timeout. Nice Touch! Look forward to seeing others......

Will there be a Off-Season Weekly Re-Cap show covering Player moves (Re-Signing, Release/Cut, Retirements)?

The Draft Presentation? A better breakdown on trades.

Scouting revamp? Adding a scouts & and info on players based off the scouts info. Each team has different info on players. Each team views players differently based on their scouts info.

8 man Practice Squad

Fixed Cut Down Days during Pre-Season Schedule. Should be Two, After 3rd Pre-Season game & Final one after the last Pre-Season Game.

Lessen Players coming out of retirement. In My Madden 25 CFM, Ray Lewis coming out of retirement for the second time. A handful of others coming out of retirement to, hmm.

46 Game Day Roster

Full Coaching Staff, Already have other Coaches on the sidelines!

# 37 tril @ 06/09/14 07:28 PM

sounds promising, but no mention of penalty fixes, especially DPI and OPI.
they mentioned 3d grass years ago, why keep mentioning this?

like the fact they fleshed out the qb accuracy ratings, to include short, medium and deep.
I wonder if theyve improved maximum passing feature or included controls like manual catch for receivers and cb's, in the controls settings.

halftime presentation improved, but it seems to be a direct port from NCAA 14. which isnt a bad thing.

We should see some unedited gameplay in a few days since it is playable at E3.

Why, because you have to wait two months to see?

And game demos are always edited, so until the game comes out I wouldn't judge gameplay on them, for better or worse.

Who in EA's PR department still thinks its a good idea to tout grass?

Don't get me wrong I want the grass to look as realistic as possible but when you brag about the improvement in the grass each year it means that you are actually spending time improving grass each year. Fans don't care about the grass, its one of the last things we want to see perfected, and the fact that pretty much each year EA says something about it only leads to less consumer confidence that they are taking the more important aspects of the game into account.

It's at a point of diminishing returns, you can work on the grass but stop talking about it, its not a feature, and yet it is worked on and talked about pretty much every year as if it is as crucial as CPU AI, or player animations.

From a PR perspective it is a terrible thing to talk about: it gives consumers the idea that you haven't done much so you are going to talk up something as peripheral as grass. You said it was the best grass ever last year, and now you're telling us its improved (yeah I get it now it will be 3D during the gameplay instead of just in replays, then why did you tout it as 3D last year?!).

This list is long, and a lot of it looks pretty awesome so don't talk about something you've been droning on for years about. Let us as the gamers remark how awesome the grass is, instead of playing it up each year. I do this as someone who wants this game to be the best it can be, and I want others to get excited about the game instead of being as pessimistic as they have been for years, and its hard to convince them that you are taking a positive step when you keep talking about something that so few care about, that for some reason is always listed as an improvement to the game (even if it has been improved, there is zero reason to talk about it unless it has been perfected).

And now I will shut up about grass!

The list is looking good can't wait to hear impressions from the OSers on the floor over the next few days, hoping this is finally the game we have been waiting for (because I'm gonna buy it anyway and I hope others see a reason to do the same).
