My first thought was this is for PS4 owners who can't get EA Access.

Did notice Tom Brady's chinstrap was new to the game!!! Hope to see more authentic equipment that is specific to certain players.

Coverage Assignments and Simulation settings have me pretty hyped right now (assuming everything is implemented correctly). The target passing has me interested, definitely can't wait to see that in action. Will pre-order when I see it in the PSN store.

On the PSN store they have the release for the G.O.A.T edition as the 22nd of August and the standard edition is scheduled for the 25th of August. Was hoping the standard release would be on the 22nd and we could play it on the 19th with the G.O.A.T edition.

I liked the vision cone! I even had it on GameCube where there was no way to snap to receivers, you had to manually move everything (which made rookie and qbs all but unplayable).

That's a shame they're following battlefields release. Instead of releasing it on a Tuesday as it ALWAYS has... let's release it on a Friday but sell this more expensive copy so people can play on Tuesday.

Sure it's early technically, but I would've rather seen you get it on the 19th as you mentioned.
