    That not true. Just ask them boys that dissect the game in their videos.

      EA Access begins Aug 17, GOAT comes out Aug 22. The regular game comes out Aug 25.

        The odds of them releasing those 30 videos is lowered with a smaller window of time. I'm not saying anything against people who still choose to preorder and purchase the game. Have at it. But as a customer that almost exclusively plays franchise mode I've been disappointed the past few years. Especially when compared to what other sports titles have put out. I get it that my approach might be pessimistic. It's not like I'm hoping for the game to suck though. I truly hope that the game is amazing and I can enjoy it for the next year.

          Gameplay videos are currently scheduled to go out late next week, from community influencers. I promise they will be worth the wait.

          Apologies to those of you who disagree with this strategy, but the team decided to try and different approach this year. We want first impressions to come from the community. Hence EA Play and why the gameplay videos were done this way.

          I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the game that we are "hiding". The game came out great this year and we are excited to share it with you as soon as possible.

          As always we appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you all on the field this August.

              Well there it is. You cant ask for any more than that.














              Except videos.





              But seriously Rex has credibility with me and should with you too. Note that he is not posting in the Longshot thread promising that it turned out great.

                Definitely being patient just wondering what the exact strategy is. We know longshot was or is the focus for marketing but I haven't seen one commercial and or gameplay vid since ea play so what is the marketings plans exactly ?

                  This is the problem, to be honest. Why should EA drop a bunch of videos to gamers they know will spend the next two weeks trashing the game. I know these overly enthusiastic fans think they are helping, but they really aren't.

                  It would be one thing if these early videos lead to good discussion, but too many use them to fill threads among many forums with negative posts. And it never has anything to do with how good or bad the video really is. You can predict the threads before even seeing the videos. It's just an excuse to bash the game.

                  At least by releasing the videos later, and closer when Early Access comes out, there can at least be reasonable discussion bye those playing the game to counter what is often a bunch BS that comes from the videos. When releasing early, it gives the bashers free reign for weeks to trash the game before anyone that actually likes the game can play it and realize things aren't so bad.

                    Thank you for the welcomed feedback, Rex.

                    I'm sure the OS community collectively expresses a thank you.

                      Not really sold on this years marketing strategy but I seriously do respect Rex and his dev team. They've been the most upfront to the Madden gameplay community.

                        Where and when did he post this. Was it on twitter?

                          Look for several post above the post you quoted from me.

                            Word. That settles it in my mind. No Devs communicate and interact with the community like the Madden team.

                              Hopefully the next step is that they listen to the calls to reinvent franchise mode and do it properly.
