I hope so, as I primarily play madden against cpu. You are assuming they will allow us to roam and play whatever we want? They might be focusing in on certain areas of the game, or it might be the E3 build that will be primarily blocked in many areas. Let's hope it is a full version and they let us play test many areas. There is a NDA, so I will not be posting anything on here about game, until NDA is dropped.

I worked at EA tiburon in QA department as a tester on 2004 and 2005 maddens. So will be cool to go back and see studios and how they have expanded. When I was there was in old building down the road. My resume has Madden 2005 on it for QA, so you know I take my madden serious.

Any tester, please run the 01 trap play; any crossing patterns, short and deep, and check to see if the TE gets pressed/chipped...

Good one, also run a quick slant play, the same one on every down And see if you can march right down the field and score.

They said it can be any EA game. Even Madden 16 when it comes out. Nice try though.

Regarding the 01 trap, I asked Clint on Twitter if it was still way to easy to gain yards or if they fixed it. He said they didn't do anything to fix it, but defenses are better this year. So take that for what its worth.

I may or may not be going if I can find a hotel room and gather together $1,000 for plane tickets and the room. I'm hoping to see if I can make this a bit of a mini-vacation to get away from home for two days.

Please tell me you are joking. Save your money. You are going to be severely disappointed. They send play testing opportunities out from EA about once a week, sometimes more here in Orlando. This is not something you build a vacation around and spend thousands on.

Actually, I can guarantee none of these people will be getting Madden 16 as their free game. You must pick from games already released. So yes, Madden 15 is a realistic option if someone really wants that game, but 16 is not.

Also spread plays out of shotgun or singleback right up the middle.. It was usually a 1-3 yard gain every time.. 4th and short was guaranteed with those plays unless an LB slipped through the crack. The problem was the Dline would never get any penetration mainly from the DTs. They were either stuck on the block or pushed back. It didn't matter how good the Dline was you were going up against. I really hoped that was fixed..

It says right in the press release you can choose Madden 16. Unless they removed it.

EDIT: Here is the quote from the release.

Quote:


	Both all stars and rookies are needed to help us test, and you get to choose a shiny new EA game as a reward for your help. (You can even choose Madden 16 and we'll get you a copy when it comes out) Reward: 1 EA game as thanks for your time

Please send me a PM if you're going to this. It will help your experience, I promise you.

Safety punt glitch. Undefined safety punt. This has killed my ranked games all year!

After checking a few things and consulting with some people, I decided not to go. It was going to cost about $1,000 for the plane tickets and a hotel room across the street from the EA Tiberon campus, plus whatever else I was going to do for a two-day vacation in Orlando. Also, I have a ton of stuff I need to do now for Monday because I now need to get money together for a film seminar and a graduation ceremony I was originally not going to attend.

Just wanted to get out my city for a few days, but I guess that won't happen for a long time. Would have been a nice experience to do this.

Now, let's get back on-topic.

First time they've offered that since I've been doing playtests there.
