While most of that stuff seems to be recycled from the Twitch stream from the other day, there were two bits I liked relative to the kicking game that I don't recall catching during the live feed.

First is the idea that kick power means something. I like that a max power kicker can hit an NFL-record shot while a middling kicker with 80s kick power is going to struggle to hit from 50. That's going to be a game changer, I think.

Just as big is the claim that the CPU will no longer attempt FGs that it has no realistic chance of making. That was a big of a game-breaker strategy-wise in previous games, as the CPU would routinely forfeit the ball near midfield after botched attempts from way too far out.
