Opened for me.

Giving the devs the benefit of any doubt. Been a lot of nitpicking and complaining about what little that has been released. I already think 18s gameplay was stellar and if this stuff adds to that, i’m A happy camper.

User Sticks matter more!

Looks like they'll be jumping into the ELeagues soon.

Like I said in the other thread it seems promising but want to see more. There are skill sets based on postion that I feel get missed with their system.

Steal indicator!

Also intrigued by “new button accuracy meter” I never liked that meter so I’m curious to see what they’ve done with with it.

I would still love analog throwing combined with the input needed for button accuracy. So you have to push the stick true north/east/south/west but also release the stick in the sweet spot.

Still want to see the difference between pre-load and non pre-load throws from all tiers of defenders in and out of position. How is accuracy/strength affected by pre-load and non pre-loaded throws? Where is the window for loaded and non loaded throws?

Show the range difference in and out position of infielders/outfielders.

I've tried to open it 10 or so times. Everytime doesn't work. I guess I might have to try another browser.

I wonder since it’s not all about the PCI skill if this will have an impact on people who use timing hitting?

This all sounds great for the online competitive crowd. But as an offline franchise player this sounds like a lot of stuff that could skew towards the CPU having an advantage

How so?!? To me it sounds like they're giving more control to the player which in my opinion, is good news.

Yeah I'm not a fan. I think zone hitting and meter pitching are just perfect the way they are. Would hate to see play ratings matter less.

Its the Madden problem where you could take a 65 rated QB and throw darts all over the field like your playing with Brady. Putting too much emphasis on stick skills and not player ratings. Or even 2K if you play with user timing and master someone's shot.
