Oh man I remember, that was a travesty. It also seemed to me that first reveal trailer was ALOT of CGI.

They're giving us real game footage with this teaser at least. There will be more to come. This was honestly just to reveal the cover athlete and people are looking for way much more out of it.

I'm waiting for nothing but what franchise improvements they've made this year. Seems like they're taking a BIG step. Shout out to Roadman and JP for their continued faith on Rex and his team that they really are working on delivering us an amazing next Gen franchise mode Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I am very confident in the future of franchise mode, like I said last year, and it's because I've seen/heard first hand what they are wanting to do. I think last year they were just trying to lay a foundation with the menus and mostly investing in resources for the future.

First news of the latest Madden gets lots of us "fans" going. It's exciting to me personally and I've checked what's what for years now.

That being said [and after continuous years of 'where's the realism/sim criticisms'] the newest Madden of them all is on one hand, touting to be "revolutionary" and "addressing the core three phases of football game play" while on the other hand featuring it's latest cover athlete in a not really spectacular looking gadget special teams play?

Clunky gadget special teams plays coming soon(TM)? That's our very first look at what's "new and/or improved" for this year's game?

Is that really being too critical?

Good for Gronk to get the cover. He seems a bit of a lunk head but damn he's a force in the game right now.

I see where you're coming from, but let's keep it real man. The casual fan doesn't wanna see a missed field goal, or some other basic special teams play.

They wanna see the coverboy apart of a trick play, juking and dodging fools in the open field for a TD. THOSE are the fans this trailer was catered too, not the sim crowd. Our videos will come

Marketing made the decision over the developers to cast a wide net to catch more than the 5 to 6 million people that buy the game.

The trailer was not for us, it is what it is.

I'm glad they gave us actually gameplay instead of a pre-rendered trailer that they claim is in game footage. The Madden 25 first look trailer still looks better than Madden 17.

I'm waiting for the E3 trailer before I pass judgment on what 17 is. I believe Rex said this cover trailer was just to showcase Gronk, and Rex said it shows about 5% of what they did this year.

Would have been nice to see a blocked field goal returned for a TD but I guess it would have been hard to fit Gronk in that situation.
