Sidelines sound promising. I wish EA would have shown actual gameplay during this live stream.

Unless they plan on doing a slow reveal (which is strange with less than 2 weeks to go). Why would EA not show this stuff in the trailer. (Alos strange because its a free upgrade).

Makes no sense showing old sidelines so EA can get criticized for the past few days.

I also wonder why this virtual screening that they didn't show actual game play.

From a marketing standpoint some very interesting decisions from EA

Why add weather if it doesn't have any impact on gameplay, also why have so many positive previews but no actual gameplay to support it.

Bc if they didn't add weather, people would be like "this is next gen, and there's no weather!!" Even though it has no impact on gameplay yet, I'd rather there be options for rain and snow, than not.

Another strong touch that was mentioned, but wasn’t shown in the preview, was the inclusion of injured or inactive players on the sidelines in street clothes.

Love it.

Would I like weather to effect my games? I guess. It IS an uncontrollable part of sports.

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed though, but a lot of my Current-Gen gaming bad weather games still play different than a clear weather. Madden does something to make my guys play different. Worse throws. Falling WRs cutting on their routes, guys seem not as intelligent & off etc. Could it be better? Sure.
But I won't deny SOMETHING is already going on to date. For now, I'm happy they're atleast giving things like the weather visuals a much needed touch up.
