I've gotta give it to these guys. They're clearly making a sustained effort to move the game forward for sim AND competitive types. They're doing an impressive job of ticking things off lists for major constituencies. There's still a lot to be done, but they're making a quality effort.
I really like the CPU draft tuning. I'm hoping this means, among other things, that teams will draft QBs less when they already have a top pick who had been in the league just 1-3 years.
I played a half on my current set and it looked great. I was very happy with what I saw.
For my interests, they have fixed formation subs, fixed domes/roofs, adjusted draft classes and draft logic, tuned the speed threshold, fixed lots of blocking and coverage AI issues, and more. That's all stuff I care about and they've done a good job on those things.
I think they deserve credit for that. I also think they deserve credit for not making the game so wide open that no defense can be played, which can happen around tournament time.
This has been the most consistently playable Madden in several years this early in the cycle for someone who plays the game the way I do.
