This is my dream for all sports games, especially Madden. Get all the presentation licenses and all the broadcast teams. Have each game get the broadcast they would normally have.

I just watched the new animations and gameplay addition trailer and had a question.

Is their a colorblind mode for the Catcher throw meter? My husband watched the trailer with me and he said he couldn't see the green at all as the yellow and green looked the same to him with his colorblindness.

I noticed that a bit too, I had a hard time seeing the divide

Is there a set time for the Twitch stream today? Very excited to hear more about the cat and mouse game with pitching/baserunning--a much needed addition to the series.

If anyone might be able to ask this question during the twitch stream it'd be much appreciated. I'll be working myself.

Would this be the Twitch stream to ask about AI bullpen management improvements? Lefty vs Lefty matchups, relievers throwing more than one inning, etc.

Me to and I hope you guys ask some good gameplay questions like the following

1. Has anything be done to fix the issue where the ball hangs to long in the air compared to real life ball physics?

2. Has anything been done to cut down on so many little hits into the ground in front of home plate?

3. Has anything been done to stop the catcher from popping up from the Crouch Position way to fast to catch and field balls?

4. Has Fatigue been improved so players do not get tried as fast and need to be rested more often in Season and Franchise mode compared to real life?
