They have a plan and it may take longer than most people would like, due to the past mistakes and issues created, but they are working towards something and I believe it will be very special. Going back to Madden 15 I believe I called it the "Turning Point" of Madden and I believe Madden 16 will be the "Head Turner" for this franchise. The game is going to IMO, make some of the doubters believe, but some will still remain doubters due to expectation and EA's track record in the past. Like Rex said, they have a lot of gameplay improvements/features yet to be announced and according to his post, they will be coming in the weeks leading up to E3, so we should have plenty to talk about even before June 15.

FWIW, the GC'ers and the rest of the guys are FAR from hype men, I'll explain more when NDA allows.
I hear you man, I don't question the devotion of Rex or anyone else, I just question how much can actually get done and pan out with all the seeming challenges to achieving that goal. Also, even IF everything that's touted actually works or at least allows Madden to turn a corner, I'm still left waiting for the other shoe to drop. For Madden 16 and beyond, it's what's not been done/fixed that will ultimately determine how I receive the game as a whole. Some of that actually isn't fair to the game play team, with regard to things out of their purview like presentation, CFM, etc but it is what it is.

Let's say for Madden 16, game play is finally tolerable for me again but CFM still is what it is, that's still frustrating. Right now I just don't play it period but liking the game play without a immersive career mode to accompany it would be gaming torture, lol.

Is there an implied ETA on when they believe Madden will be a complete, not perfect, football game?
