"Captured in game" as in the cut scene that plays at the beginning of the game (see the Cam Newton/Luke Kuechly intro in Madden 15 that looks much better than the actual game).

Other than that I'm interested in seeing how the AI handles these catches. I don't want to catch manually because users already had a big enough advantage of the CPU, they don't need anything more.

Lastly, the QB throwing high/low has been the game for years now. I'm not sure how they're passing that one off as a new feature.

I was already leaning towards no buy and what little we saw/heard today didn't do anything to move me to the other side of the fence.

Play Ball is the best way to challenge the receiver for the catch, but comes at the risk of triggering a catch animation behind the receiver and giving up a big play.

Gotcha. I see. Thanks for the heads up, I missed that point

Have to wait until we get some real gameplay vids but as of right now that EA conference did nothing to get me amped up for Madden 16

I was a little bummed with the Madden E3.. Was hoping to see some game footage or hear about the connected franchise.. Still trying to decide if I'm gonna buy the game. Haven't played Madden since like 2010, but since NCAA has been discontinued I'm wanting a football game on my PS4 :/

Theyve already lost me....again....unless a swell of a new info comes out on CCM and its not just things making the game easier for casual gamers.

Not gonna get hysterical or anything, but I honestly expected a bit more than this. I'm a realist, I know what Madden is. Still, I can't help but feel underwhelmed...especially after Rex's comments a few days ago. It is what it is.

The clips they showed definitely showcased some big improvements in WR/DB interactions.

I am absolutely looking forward to seeing footage of in-game action (as in someone holding a controller playing it on screen) from the booths in the upcoming days

If the AI controlled players play to their ratings and take full advantage of the play the ball/play the receiver mechanics, I will be all-in on trying to get back into online CFM

WIDE RECEIVER AI TRAITS

Each WR has a new series of traits that determine which types of catches they look for when under AI control. This includes the RAC, Aggressive, and Possession traits. Throwing the right route to the right receiver and using catch mechanics linked to traits is a critical strategic component in Madden NFL 16.

AWESOME!!
