EA should be touting the tackling because it looked great.

Boy you got that right. Looks really nice!

Ok the presentation looks amazing. They step up their game. Really brings you into the action.

The gang tackling, catch animations and WR-DB interactions all looked really tight, very organic. I hope the one-handed animation (like Jordy Nelson at the start) isn't too overdone.

What stands out in a bad way is the QB animations, throwing animations still look really awkward.

Really like the contextual awareness of the Giants player when he sidesteped the ref between plays. Also, the players look a bit leaner, more athletic and less stocky. I can't wait to see how this looks after the sliders guys get their hands on it.

Wow, alot to digest in that video. New animations and additions to the game play are looking pretty damn good. I like what I see so far.

I also really like that they went back to M25s style zoom cam. Zoom cam in M25 was awesome but last year in M15 it wouldn't zoom out enough during the play. Zoom cam looks great in this vid.

I believe it's the same Zoom cam as Madden 15 (which I loved & thought 15's zoom cam was perfect & definitely an improvement over 25 but to each's own 16's zoom cam looks even better with how it zooms in on catches & pans out when needed.

I could be remembering it wrong, but I could have sworn M25s zoom cam was just like the one in this vid (zoomed in pre snap, zoomed out to normal depth post snap on passes), but in M15 it wouldn't zoom out as far on passes and you couldn't always see the whole field.

Again, it has been awhile for me. I just remember that I loved M25s zoom cam and thought M15s wasn't quite the same.

Maybe I am remembering it wrong though.

EITHER WAY, regardless, the cam used in this vid seems awesome

Wow that tackling looks way better. I'm excited to try this mode

The game play looks really good, much improved from M15!! I would have loved to see more running and an example of "hit the hole logic". Also, that last deep catch by Jordy Nelson he was never touched by the defender so I am confused as to why the play was called down?! ... Thoughts?

Those QB drop back animations and the way they hold the ball just flat out looks awful!

I am skipping Madden 16 most likely so let down by that gameplay video.

Game looks pretty darn good in my book, can't wait to see more stuff! A lot of the presentation stuff I saw actually looked good.

Watch the INT at 14:35. Then watch the slow motion replay. That is 100% PI.

Yeah, I watched it and I don't know. It looked like one of those where if it gets called, it gets called and if it doesn't, it doesn't. Hopefully those 50-50 type things are possible with the penalties.

One thing I wouldn't mind seeing in the future is referee crews that are more strict or lenient on certain penalties like this.

Yeah that would be cool if different ref crews were distinguished and had their own "stats" as far as likelihood of certain calls.
