Dude, they say that about every game every year.

To an extent I think theyre right. Anyone getting an invite to an event like that would be pumped because most likely theyre looking forward to the game and havent played any real football since the previous version came out. They may relate the entire experience more so into their reviews of the game, and let that excitement get them more than they should, and somehow the overall review suffers because of it...

Not entirely. I remember last year some of the guys at the event(s) saying it is about one year away from being really good/great. I can recall some community guys saying:

- The passing felt a little off
- They weren't able to break out of the animations and didn't feel like they were "in control" all the time.
- The playbooks were way behind what last-gen had to offer
- The game plays pretty slow
- Gang tackling was meh
- The option game was killed by poor defensive AI and allowable late pitches.

I really think this game will be very good. They have made so many improvements (just look at the list above), added some wanted features and got rid of the damn turnover festival.

I know I may sound like a fanboy or whatever, but I'm excited about this one!! I'm with AuburnAlumni.

I dont know how I couldnt be excited hearing and seeing the way this years game looks...but if for whatever reason i end up being disappointed again, i may not be as skeptical next year.

I hear that it is vastly improved every single year. That doesn't mean it's good. While a polished turd may look better than an unpolished turd, it's still feces.
