Play now live.....is that like real time weather settings like NCAA Football used to have? If so then that is awesome and has been a long time coming. People have been asking for that for years.

That is wonderful news for us Dolphin fans.

I've been saying they need arcade and simulation so everyone can enjoy it differently. Glad they went this way.

New target passing I wonder? But coverage assignments really caught my attention

I wonder if the G.O.A.T. Edition will have a different cover athlete?

It's gotta be Brady or Rice.

I think you may be right. He certainly is one of two candidates for the G.O.A.T. cover.

I'm probably like everyone and curious as to what target passing means. New passing mechanic to separate qbs??

Would love to see the vision cone come back for the SIM tuner.

Those are all welcome'd additions, but im not getting too excited until I see player movement and line-play specifically pass blocking/pass rushing. I hope simulation mode isn't just slider adjustments, I hope its player ratings adjustments and smarter AI too.

The hype has begun, though I don't know if it ever ends for me. I'm a child when it comes to these things.

I like the premise of Target Passing, Simulation Settings as well as the defensive assignments. I assume these aren't all the "back of the box" gameplay features (though Target Passing would be), and this is just a slither of overall information?

Simulation play style and target passing, hope this means we can finally throw the ball to a spot on the field and let our recievers make a play.

I like the sound of target passing, will be interested to see what it ends up being. Coverage assignments and coach adjustments sound promising as well.

Coach Adjustments? Coordinators? or too optomistic?

I would love (and very doubtful) for simulation mode to offer things like bobbled snaps, high snaps, penalties more realistically tuned, etc.

I am assuming it probably just means tuning of things like less actuate passing, etc. which would be good too

Hoping target passing is a new version of vision cone
