    @EASPORTS_AJ: @jpdavis1982 I don't have retail copies yet. Why do you ask?

    Now as far as people being disappointed today, other than the lower quality stream, I think the difference today was expectations.

    Most people had low expectations before the first stream. After last weeks stream the expectations were raised and anything that wasn't better than last week would be seen as meh or a step backwards. My expectations have been the same all along and I found today and the stream last week fairly similar.

    The AI issues people have mentioned for the Eagles Jags game are because it was user vs user.

    Most of the presentation was as I expected, half time show especially in the second game, looked pretty good. I'm hoping for CFM they will have some commentary about standings and playoff races.
    And to be honest with AJ and being around the game as much as he has. How does he not know what build of the game it is? I believe it may not be retail,but I find it hard to believe they would leave them clueless on what build it is.

      AJ is a good guy from my interactions with him. He doesn't need to be thrown under the bus.

      That twitter exchange tells us nothing, don't take much from it, just think of the source.

        I'm not throwing him under the bus, he just confirmed its not a retail copy. Its a honest observation and you can't always believe twitter or the internet.

            Lets all just wait till we see an actual retail build before we jump off that proverbial bridge. If you don't like the retail build and think problems still exist there is a very simple solution to the problem: don't buy it!.

              What will be interesting is if the demo looks and plays diff compared to the retail & early access version.

              The screenshots comapring the two commentators will be telling when the demo releases
              ... in one the the two had matching colored ties and in the other one wore a green tie while the other wore a blue.

              Rationally, you should expect to see a more complete build as you near the retail shipping date of your product.

                Yes and no. When a company sits down to show you the full game with all of its features you would expect to see the final retail build but when they are only showing off certain features they often use whatever they have the easiest access to (and whichever is the most stable) which could be a build from months ago. I have seen some horrible looking videos on Twitch in the past that ended up being old builds and the retail game looked amazing. You really have to wait till you can see actual gameplay and actual visuals from the final retail product before you can make any real judgement.

It makes no sense to show a old build of the game, so I tend to believe this is the game were getting.This makes no sense to me at all, what is the deal with EA? One minute I think there actually trying to create a awesome game and the next minute there pulling the wool over are eyes and give us this? Just when this company was getting on the right side they go back to the company i can't stand. I may cancel my preorder
                  SMDH if this is the case. After the last live stream video (with Rex) I was totally on board with the direction of this team, and was very much looking forward to release. Now I'm confused and I'm not sure what I just watched but it seems like regression from the last stream. Not good...

                    LOL. Everyone is freaking out thinking that the version of the game in today's stream is significantly different from last week's stream. I really don't see it, looks like the same game to me. I think it's like someone else here already stated, the guys playing obviously aren't great players, but I think they were there simply to talk about presentation & graphics. Therefore we really didn't get a great representation of how the game plays.

                    IDK, i could be wrong... Nevertheless, I'm still very much looking forward to Aug 26.

                      The best animations in the game are pre and post play. That has to change.

Do we know which system was used for these streams? Not trying to start a flame war, but when watching things on stream or youtube it seems that there is a difference in lighting and colors between Xbox One and PS4 when watching a video on youtube. Just a thought...trying to quantify the difference between stream 1 and stream 2 is baffling me.

                          Gameplay Livestream


                          Presentation and Graphics Livestream



                          The gameplay Livestream looks better IMO from a graphics standpoint and the Presentation and Graphics Livestream looks washed out and muted almost like the games are being played in Mexico City under the worst smog conditions possible.

                            The Chiefs-Steelers game looked fine. The Jags-Eagles game did look "smoggy" -- I mentioned that earlier in this thread that the dusk time lightning in this game is NOT good. (It's like the game is being played with the stadium lights off.) Nevertheless, it's how the game is, and still the same as the first livestream...

                              Yeah, I think that's very possible. The color difference between the two streams is like night and day. It could be that the game looks identical on the PS4 and XBox One, but when streamed on Twitch, the two consoles have very different color settings.
