Wow. Wow wow wow.

The thing that actually excites me is that the amount of information that came out today, if NOTHING else was improved about the game, is enough to make me give this game a shot.

Also, it feels as if the new three-year plan for Madden is kicking in already, not just "this year will be nothing special because of the switch mid-season to a new approach" - it's actually happening now.

It feels weird that we've been told for a long time that Pro-tak was the way to do tackles, or that the ball couldn't be scaled down, or the expanded rosters were too hard, or the shading defenders wasn't a realistic move, and so on and so forth....and now we're getting it all?

I genuinely have to calm down over this because it's just a game after all, and the Madden hype train is in full effect....but holy hell. Just looking at the words "100 improvements to franchise mode" - we had 85 new features TOTAL not too far back.

EA, keep doing this every year please.
