Awe I see. Thanks for the info. I don't keep up with the twitter sphere as some members here do. Still seems counter productive to me. To not discuss your game prior to release. Maybe this was imposed only on tiburon due to something carlos may have said or done.

Interesting theory... Carlos said something damaging to the game/company or the prior Creative Director that they felt could have hurt the release. EA then put the squeeze on whatever media outlet not to release what was said and then told everyone to clamp down and don't say ish til the game is out

As a proud dynasty owner of Antonio Brown......this disturbs me.

But then again...Tom broke the curse last season. And Antonio did tweak his calf in the post season.

Fingers crossed. LOL.

I don't see this any different than any other year. They released alot of information the past month with their blogs and even had a beta. Not sure what else more they need to do.

Yeah, I agree, and there was even a calendar of scheduled information drops for everyone to see posted on social media and at OS.

Yeah this year was definitely handled better than last year. The cover thing was just weird to me, but with so much going on in the studio, I think the game was handled well prerelease.

Better than a patriot but should have been an Eagle. Tom still lost so looks to me like the curse is on. LOL!

They just don't make Madden curses like they used to. Back in my day our cover athletes suffered career ending injuries, and that's the way we liked it!

Glad they finally released the cover. Bummed that it is not an action shot. But most importantly ... does this mean we'll start seeing custom covers soon?!!!!
