Yes you can. Takes a little work on the front end to set it all up. But you can control all 32 teams. It was in on M25 as well.

Either college stats or just have a stat banner saying Blake Bortles 1st career start. It's for 1 game after that it should show his season stats. Can't remember ever watching an NFL game and seeing them post 0s for a players stats

Its hard to really determine the CPU draft logic without knowing a few variables(who else was drafted, depth of each position drafted, depth of CB spot), but given past history, this is a red flag that the cpu is weak at team management/roster building.

This made me cringe a bit. It's tough for a team to select aQB in the top 5 in back to back years. Granted the 2nd qb could be a once in a lifetime prospect but I'm guessing poor CPU logic is still in the game.

Surprised to see the entire set of renovations in the game with really good accuracy. Apart from the outdated stadium wall designs, which I'm willing to give them a pass on, I'm VERY happy they included all the changes.

Yeah, I'm concerned that poor CPU logic is still to blame, but without knowing all the facts I'm holding out hope!

Could be a number of factors at play, coach could have been fired which meant a change in strategy and they needed a new QB to fit their scheme. Bortles could have had a horrible season and his confidence dropped enough to lower his OVR to the point they felt they needed a new QB. I am not defending the logic with any of these posts, I am just saying we can't make judgments without knowing the full story.

I miss PS2 Madden!

I agree it can be a ton of factors that resulted in selecting a QB in the top 5 back to back years. But I've seen this so many times in madden, I just have the feeling it's the same old CPU logic (or lack of). Trust me, I hope I'm wrong

I am enjoying the videos from a game play perspective

# 69 BreakingBad2013 @ 08/14/14 02:02 PM

Jags vs Texans, still one handed magnet catches for onside kick recoveries.

# 70 jmurphy31 @ 08/14/14 02:03 PM

I haven't watched all the videos yet, but has any noticed the CPU play calling at the end of the half.? Thanks.

# 71 MAGboyswifT27 @ 08/14/14 02:04 PM

I've liked what I've seen so far. Things that stuck out to me was the Gauntlet mode and the passing inaccuracies. I'm trying to hold out on that EA Access, not sure how long that'll last with these videos, I'm ready for this release.

In one of the games the Patriots actually used their timeouts at the end of the half.

If it were truly realistic it would have been in a 4th quarter drive. The Dev team still has some work to do.

It's improbable nowadays but not impossible. And for Madden since like 04/05, it's IMPOSSIBLE. (At least I haven't done it in 10 years).

Incredibly on M12 blocked FG's were possible and it was nerfed on the first patch. It was a tad over powering from the edge and then they just shut it down all together.

It sucks it is impossible. I have not seen them in like forever. I too know it is so rare...but it does happen. Especially on the longer low trajectory FG attempts. And blocked punts do still happen from time to time as well.

Man, I am pumped.

1 - Glad the XB1 version looks to be really close to the PS4 version

2 - I love the new perspective from the zoom cam.

3 - Gameplay looks really solid

Sadly, I won't be able to take advantage of Early Access since I will be on vacation next week. Can't wait for early impressions, though.

# 76 Steve_OS @ 08/14/14 02:17 PM

Just FYI, all of the videos from GoodGameBro were captured from Xbox One. Can't confirm the rest of them, ATM.

# 77 NDAlum @ 08/14/14 02:17 PM

5:30 of the Jets/Pats video is some pretty bad "swerve" running. Kick return guy slightly moves to the inside then cuts like 70 degrees to the outside without slowing down at all. Then he jukes back to the inside. It's the classic exploit kick return to try and suck the CPU AI defenders inside so your blockers pick them up and you get the outside.

Easily one of my biggest issues with the game. Overall I'm pretty happy with the videos but that continues to be something that sticks out like a sore thumb. It's just not possible for guys to cut on a dime without losing any speed. I saw several instances of ball carriers making unreal cuts without slowing down and without using jukes.

Good to hear.

In 2013 Romo's TD:INT ratio in the 4th quarter was 10:4 and his QB rating as 105.6, and he has more 4th quarter comebacks than any other active QB over the past three seasons, but that's neither here nor there.

I'm happy with the game I'm seeing. The 26th can't get here soon enough!
