When does EA plan for Madden 17?

See I don't agree with the second part. I think madden commentary is below average.

But then again I hear the devs talk about things their happy with and I don't agree with them. I guess I just expect more.

And that's perfectly fine, with regards to the game I probably just value commentary a little less than you do.

However, either way I think you'd agree with me that it's better to build on the core rather than tear it down just to start over.

Certainly. My biggest issue is dead space and lack of awareness. Those things can be fixed.

However, I do think there are times when starting over would be a great thing. Just not with audio.

Ex: core ganeplay engine. These Devs have made serious progress. I do see that. But imo if this group we have now, if they were allowed to start from scratch I think we could have something really special.

A lot of the new animations they put in look great. Good high quality stuff. But it's mixed in with the old stuff.

Idk I just really wish they could start new with a turly next gen engine. And I use that term loosely.

Sorry for rambling and turning this completely off topic.
