I assume this video was on Very slow speed, right? felt too slow to me as well.

Loving the camera angles,and the ability to switch on the fly.It's gonna add a new dimension to online play when I wanna use a d-lineman to pash rush,can't wait!!

I stopped watching after seeing 14/18 by a 78Ovr qb. 1 single OT in 18 passes by a 79Ovr. Hopefully QB ACC slider work this year.

Everybody seems to have the same overly ripped body type. Even the kickers are ripped. Not liking the fact the linemen are the same width and stature as the WRs, QB and RB as well. I do see some instances of player mirroring each other as well where you see 2 and sometimes 3 defenders moving in sync at times throughout the game. I also noticed there were always 2 players open on passing plays.

I still see the CPU AI is still brain dead on punt returns & kick off returns and just run head first into defenders. Over all though even on running plays I noticed the CPU AI most of the time run directly into defenders, instead of trying to avoid being tackled. Crowd sounds way better though. I wonder if EA will release a profile for the Sony Gold Headset. I do like all the player emotion and the new cut scenes they added for injured players.

It's been like this forever, where the penalty sliders don't seem to have an effect. Weird that they've never been able to fix this.

Gang tackling isn't in the game yet, the difference with 15, is that they added the physics tech to allow for more natural tackles and falls. Clint Oldenburg is going to be working on gang tackling in the near future.

@ClintOldenburg: @ShutdownSafety @bigdavo14 I'm now on tackling as well, new ownership for me moving forward. Gang tackles are not officially in 15. Sorry.

I looooove all the different camera angle options you can change on the fly!

It adds a totally new immersion element. Different situations, different views...love it.

Can't wait for next Tuesday!

I can say the read option has been stuffed on me more than success in the games I've played. Don't base it on the 1 game here.. when I broke that I was surprised.

Also I was getting zero interceptions until I raised INT's up to (I believe 30)

I have barely tweaked settings so there's still improvements probably out there.
