Still hope that CFM/CFM Presentation is getting the majority of the love. But these gameplay improvements are huge.

Can't believe all the things that they've changed and implemented this year. This has the potential to cause a ton of issues upon release, but damn am I glad they're trying!

Yeah. I'm hoping the new ball carrier stuff makes kick returns better. It doesn't sound like (yet) they did anything specific to kick return blocking. But, again, I'm hoping the new ball carrier animations/controls simply make it better.

Ok Madden, this year you have my attention. All the info has sounded great, now let's see that execution.

This is amazing, no more defying the laws of physics to make catches through players bodies, no more of the same ball pops straight up into the air after you play the man, and hopefully no more ball carrier holding onto the ball while he's holding it behind his back with one hand being tackled

Some of this stuff is still dice roll dependent so it's not fully physics based through and through but it's still so much more dynamic

True but the ball is now independent from animations right? The ball doesn't react the same every time the same animation plays out does it?
