That would be amazing! I would actually love if we could replace the commentators with those from Longshot! They had me entertained the entire time through that one game.

The first used copies will be priced around 53.99 which is more than you would pay if you got it new using the current specials at Best Buy or Gamestop.

I'm honestly looking forward to the post release day patch, as much as the game itself. At times, the gameplay vids have been painful to watch. As the defense User/cpu both look hapless.

After playing a few hours on EA Access, I went from Undecided to putting in my preorder. Feeling the gameplay for myself rather than just watching the early videos swayed me.

Buying. A myriad of subtle reasons. Most of which is the mentality with which it was developed.

This was a detail oriented, get-the-small-stuff right sort of cycle. This was a no-problem-is-too-small kind of cycle. Yes, huge swathes of resources were devoted to Longshot and Frostbite, and I think a better management decision would have been to do these in consecutive cycles rather than one cycle, but that's what the team had to work with.

And what did they do with a ****ton of their resources gone? They fixed a ton of little things, worked with the code they had and massaged far better blocking, tackling, and movement out of it. Rex talked about how a lot of these fixes aren't sexy but are huge quality of life issues, and I agree.

Let me put it this way; to this point, probably six hours in, I haven't once felt screwed. I've hit a glitch or two, I've had plays go the other way, I see a lot of areas of AI improvement (clearly they need to patch QB behavior), but I haven't ever felt like some stupid overcompensating, lazy code held me back like magic block sheds and 50 SPD DTs catching my 80 SPD QB from behind.

What I have seen are the little things, little, organically arising situations that are not normal in Madden. I've seen heart breaking plays like when I dropped a bomb on a dime in a crease, only to have a known big hitting safety jar it free. I've had my back see daylight only for me to not adjust to that one blocked defender, and he reaches out and brings me down for a 3 yard gain.

Honestly, it's the sheer amount of code-cheating bull**** that's gone that sells me more than what's new.

Zero excitement right now but I'm sure I'll get that itch once the season starts. Plus what other options do we have? Geez.. Those repetitive tackle animations are killing me..

Early access aside, I was wondering this as well. For less than $20 can I buy

1.) 2500 Contracts
2.) 7 packs
3.) 1 elite player
4.) 1 uniform pack

I haven't played MUT before but I'm sure there's an option to buy coins with cash. Is an Elite Dieon Sanders worth 20,000 coins? Is it $5 for 20,000 coins or $20 for 20,000 coins?

I know you may not have all these answers but that's the math I was trying to decide before putting in my preorder tomorrow (goat vs. regular edition).

After watching the videos and seeing the stats I can honestly say I will not be buying the game. First time in ever. I do need a football fix and for that I am going to play a bunch of ncaa 14. Again.
