This is definitely an improvement over Live 14, but I still think they're headed in the wrong direction with their base. I want to see how it feels tomorrow, but everything about it just looks last gen visually and gameplay wise. Without a humongous leap one year, I fear they will always be playing catch up, but want full price. The X factor is if the game is just plain fun, but I think as a sports gamer fun doesn't trump sim anymore. I didn't care about sim nearly as much 10 years ago as I do now, since technology was still developing for the nuances of the game. With their resources I think EA could pull off a major reboot, but from what I hear they are committed to this path with this base and I just can't see this becoming viable for what 2014 expectations are.
