I hope they continue the upgrades they had last year and use the frostbite engine to further the upgrades. I seen the equipment guy for madden post these on twitter... Think there may be short undershirts and there will be sleeves for those guys, hoping they're shorter like you mentioned.

1) I shouldn't have to.

2) Not everyone has the internet speed to do that in a timely manner

Really want to hear more about target passing. I think we had something that could be considered target passing last year with the triggers so I'm hoping this is more than that and is more of a passing overhaul. No more receivers drastically changing routes because they're tethered to the ball.

For the record I brought it up to say 1. Madden doesn't need read and lead type controls to untether passing and take the game to the next level. And 2. The features were available on ps2 so if madden needed frostbite to make it happen, frostbite isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Online Team Play?

That is the only thing that will make me buy this game day one.

You can't rely on the AI and I don't buy a "simulation" set vs. an "arcade" set. I'm sorry but the Madden franchise, historically, has given me no reason to believe that this will give me the organic gameplay I am looking for. The logic and quality of this game's animations simply do not match up with 2K's, respectively.

I don't want to ramble, because 2K has incredible flaws as well. But 2K allows me to play with my friends, instead of constantly against them, while also giving me the ability to play a game where I don't have to blame the AI for outcomes.

The 3 on 3 model previously in Madden would have motivated me to purchase this day one. I know details are still coming out, so I will hold out hope.

Give us a coach mode where the qb will scramble and they don't always keep the ball on read option plays (NCAA 14)along with some db/wr jostling/interaction (NFL 2k5) then I will be excited. Brady has been putting his face out there as far as advertising a lot in recent years. Good for him to make some bread on his way out and no one is more deserving of a madden cover..

Remaining even keel on this one until I see how it all unfolds. All of these claims have been introduced into madden before.

Sure not exactly the play style but I think it was 09-11' they had beginner advanced(hardcore) settings that adjusted penalties and sliders

Well the cynic in me reads 3 additional play styles and think, more chance for them to half-*** through this. A third of the time they could spend on franchise they instead invested into some Arcade mode.
