This is good to hear if true. The DL game has been pretty bad for a long time. Tackle improvements would be music to my ears. Sick of seeing the same 3 tackle animations over & over.

Que the boo track in 3...2...1... over two sentences lol.

Weak. Not unexpected...but that doesn't make it any less weak.

Didn't we have full ball carrier control and they took it away? Here we go with adding old stuff back as innovation!

Skill stick - I feel like they just rename this every 2 years
fresh pass rush moves - by name it sounds really underwhelming like just new animations
tackling improvements - are they finally bringing back the gang tackling they removed in Madden 19?
user celebrations - they really ran out of stuff already?

2/10

Insane deja vu... Feels like I’ve seen those descriptions way too many times haha

Lol you know things are bad when user celebrations are included in the list of "new" features...also, I thought those were already in...?

I really try to stay off the EA hate circle jerk but holy god this looks bad. Unfortunately as long as they have no competition there's no reason for them to innovate...they have no reason to. Releasing updated rosters and MUT is printing money for them.

Definitely an underwhelming blurb, but not surprising considering Madden launch trailers rarely have a lot of substance.

I echo XtremDunkz's comment about Skill Stick getting renamed every couple of years; that was also my first thought when I read it.

The parts about improved pash rush and tackling intrigue me, though. It'd be great if the pass rush improvements were paired with new in-game position terminology as well (EDGE rushers, SLB, WLB, etc.).
