I'm sure he will post it as soon as possible. It was a late morning interview. Whether that means tonight, yet or tomorrow, is anyone's guess.

Thanks, I'm just baffled that a 2+ man tackle is not considered fundamental/ core gameplay for the game of football. it's as common as a handoff to a running back, doesn't happen every play but pretty often throughout the corse of a game. I agree I think it's not a effort thing from the developers but an ability thing. So why be so offended when comparisons are made ?! Keeping it real and being straight forward is not only being honest about the things you choose to be straight up about, but its about being straight up overall that's what builds credibility.

Nothing was done to penalties in next gen. They didn't do any tweaking or add anything new like defensive holding. This is what I got from Clint when I asked him in twitter.

No, we did not feature that. But, because of gen4 consoles, penalties have shown an increased tendency.

I'm not really sure how a next gen console itself would result in an increase in penalties being called but I will reserve judgement until I play the game.

Thanks, I think? How long have we been asking for this, I ask on a yearly basis and every opportunity in between.

Ish.................

Preaching to the choir my man. It is what it is, I'm just not their target audience.

But at least they are focusing on the fundamentals in Madden 25. Maybe when I'm 60 they will have penalties in the game.
