I imagine EA could be hit with a lawsuit if they separated names and positions by race. I think they're just trying to play it safe.

Again. This was the case in NCAA 12 and madden 12, so what's changed since then? Has there been a lawsuit? I don't think there has, not about race at least.

The other 2 playbooks coming later this week will feature Coach Skills and Power Recruiting.

I wish they'd keep all-time stats for each of my players as well. I'm tired of having to manually keep them in a spreadsheet after every season is over.

Agreed. I don't see what's stopping them archiving all of the stats. I've actually started taking pictures of the screen with my camera lol.

EA is half-assing the release this year. I remember last year at this time, when they would have some of the creators playing around with the game showing us some of the features in multiple videos. It got me excited for the release, I think has to be that I knew what I was buying and I liked it. This year all we are getting is screenshots and blogs, and 90 second videos. This year I'm not so pumped up.

Not really true. The first video came out right about this time last year, and we were still getting screenshots released before this time, along with a few podcasts here and there. Seems to be going about the same to me.

Yeah, I was going to mention this....you'd have thought that they would have wanted to do one of those video podcasts to show off the improved infinity engine at the least. Make me think that either they are not very thrilled with what's been added this year or they just figured that the blog posts and screen shots would close the deal. Either way it makes me a bit more wary of what the final product will be.....the demo should be interesting.

Weren't they doing the video podcasts at the same time they were rolling out the new features? To me the absence of the team doing the video podcasts explaining the new features and improvements is what makes me skeptical about what the final product will be (the fact that they did it last year and aren't doing it this year, that is).

As they were releasing info, videos with game play, which were 10-15 mins. each, and not 90 second videos. For example the dynasty playbook came out yesterday last year, we would have gotten a 15 min. video showing the different things work like coaching carousel, recruiting, and all the other features in dynasty mode. This year all we are getting is screenshots and a blog and that is it. This makes me wonder if they are even close to being finished.

This is the earliest video I found, posted on May 31st:

not trying to be a d**k, completely serious... what sounds fun about it? I'm 100% seriously curious what sounds fun about it. To me it doesn't sound like much and the added part of having accelerators makes it sound gimmicky to me so i'm just wondering what someone who is excited about it is so excited for. And again, i'm not being a d**k and I won't attack you for your opinion & response but i'm just curious.

To me, I like it because it makes each coach unique. Unlike with Coach Ratings (Like in CHoops) the impact each coach makes is very noticeable. This allows us to see coaches progress in a specific way as directed by us.

Plus, I don't think it's as gimmicky or as unrealisic as some are claiming. IRL, there are some coaches who do better at certain things, be it Coaching DBs or recruiting kids.

i could only hope they make the coach skills limited like nba2k. you can only use 5 thats how they should do it.
