I had Uverse which was terrible in my area. 28down and 5 up plan but was never getting that.

Switched to Comcast, bought my own modem and router. Plan is 75mbps down, but I am constantly get 88mbps down (hard wired). Also it is cheaper than Uverse.

After playing 3 games I have dubbed this years madden the year of the super catch lol.. It was nearly unstoppable if u have a big receiver like Megatron or Jimmy Graham..I have to admit it does make it more realistic tho because in a real life jump ball situation there's no way your stopping either of those two... The crowd seems to respond better to the action on the field and the graphics look great

I've played one game so far and I got my *** handed to me. I haven't adjusted to hitting those catch buttons so I had a lot of drops.

A fey notes from my game :
Running is not like anything we saw in them youtubers videos (must of been playing on rookie).
3 penalties were called on the other team none on me.
animations are smooth
commentary seemed fresh for the one game we'll see how it holds after a full season.
Wish the whole game was like the opening super bowl 50 sequence. That would take Madden to the next level.

I have a question. Is it possible to start a franchise using one gamertag, then continuing it with another gamertag? I ask because I purchased 2 trials for a total of 20 hours. I really want to play CFM instead of play now games. I'm just not sure if I start one with the first GT if I can continue it with a second GT.

You could save it offline instead of using the cloud and then transfer the save to a USB and then load it up on the other gamertag I think.

Not sure but you could try.

So I played the intro and one game (Bengals vs Browns; 5mins)

Thoughts:
- I like the new passing but will take some getting used to. Complex but love that it's finally up to US how we throw the ball.
- Graphics are crisp and lighting is very nice again
- I zoomed in during replay and I saw around 14-15 real HD faces out of the Bengals offensive and defensive starters. SIMPLY AWESOME HD'ness!!!
- I jumped early on D line and the offensive line moved causing neutral zone infraction twice. Very cool to see.
- Also saw 3 offensive holdings, 3 false starts (by away team, Browns) and one defensive holding. Good stuff.
- Running backs roll away from line when I ran into the back of them.
- Only completed one aggressive catch jump ball and it was a touchdown to AJ Green. He had a few catches knocked away earlier by Haden.
- Replays are just damn fun to watch especially with the HD faces.
- Replay angles are MUCH improved
- Madden is definitely moving in the right direction for my tastes. Excited about the future!

started downloading at 7:15pm. It went up to 24% in about 15 minutes, and i thought i'd be playing in about an hour or hour and a half. It's now 12:45am (5 1/2 hours later) and it's on 82%.. I was really hoping to get some online games in tonight, but all I did was play the passing tutorial.

# 111 Klocker @ 08/20/15 12:48 AM

graphics look amazing this year...

game play too soon to tell but I'm enjoying the opportunity to learn more complex passing options

downloaded for me in about 45 mins

# 112 4thQtrStre5S @ 08/20/15 01:19 AM

I have played 4 MUT games..The graphics and game play are way above M15...

# 113 dkp23 @ 08/20/15 01:20 AM

ANybody else having issues connecting to EA server?

# 114 Inuyasha @ 08/20/15 01:33 AM

I feel opposite then everyone else on the graphics. I think it was more detailed last year. Something seems a bit off in the lighting. And the colors seem more washed out this year than last years.

The intro was extremely laggy for me, but once I played a real game it was as smooth as an EA Sports game can be.

Also, a word of advice for those experiencing slow downloads from EA Access: my download was extremely slow until I paused the installation, then restarted it. For some reason it was much faster after I resumed. Hope that helps some people.

# 116 sunnyhmoon @ 08/20/15 04:06 AM

Forgive me as I'm an Xbox/EA Access newbie BUT...

So I downloaded the trial from the ea hub, and then later I entered the code for M16 that came with my Xbox bundle and it went through. On the 25th, do I just keep playing on the same installed game as it turns into the full version?

# 117 blue21 @ 08/20/15 04:24 AM

Every online game I've played has ended in a network connection error and I have top of the line internet connection

# 118 Behindshadows @ 08/20/15 05:04 AM

I see some people are having issues downloading...lol

I got full game downloaded 100% in 42 minutes....I guess having 200mb/s internet does that....Game connected fine and runs fine, minus the beginning of the game before main menu where some of the cutscenes were choppy, but overall it's great..

Not disliking the gameplay, it's a change of pace and graphics are amazing...loving presentation and half-time...short but sweet...

It is taking me forever to download and I started at 5 am EST

The actual game should be what the intro is; players talking to each other (depending on the situation on the field and the score), the nice cutscenes and replays they give you..The intro looks and feels really good, just wish there was more of this stuff when actually playing a game. There is not a whole lot of immersion and games feel a bit stale, because of some lack of atmosphere.

The thing I like about FIFA is all these tons of details that make you feel like being part of the game. Not just as a spectator, but as a player. The way you can celebrate with your teammates and subs, the overlays of the PL and Bundesliga.

Then again, there is not much communication between players as well. Madden (and other sports games) should use what Madden 16 does for the intro as a blueprint for actual gameplay immersion.

Just my 0.2 of course.
