It's the same story every year; people expect drastic changes, but in reality there are rarely any. If you think the final build will be drastically different, you're going to be in for a surprise come August.
I'm definately not impressed with this year's Madden.. Looks more arcade-ish every year and gameplay changes are minimal every year.. Instead we get features that were in last-gen Madden and things that should have already been in the game 3 years ago.
I'm very frustrated with the EA team.
