The problem with Madden is that they've been catering too long towards the people who "want mouth guards and strips on the wristbands", and not enough towards the people who want realistic completion percentages and solid defensive AI.

Lol two separate teams work on those things ya know. Also if they have been catering towards equipment people why are the gloves and cleats still from 5-7 years ago?

I think it's safe to say that i can't really contribute more than what's already been said in this thread. However, and i'm generally alone on this, but, pretty please, with sugar on top please full access to our franchise via the web, and if for any reason perhaps make it possible for us to continue our current franchise from iteration to iteration.

I haven't picked up my game control since about the super bowl at this stage, but reading this today, is getting me pretty excited for tonight's content release.

Good things are coming our way!

Antonio Brown is being used as an example because he is in the screenshot, it just speaks to a much bigger issue Madden has in the graphics department. Which is an acute lack of attention to detail pertaining to player likeness. We know the other game that wont be mentioned here that goes above and beyond in this regard every year, and it is widely thought of as the best looking sports game ever made. A big reason is because a lot of the players look exactly like they do in real life, to piggyback that a big reason they look so close is because the devs are obsessive about accurate likenesses, especially in equipment, down to finger bands for Christ's sake. Have you seen the detail in the shoes in that game? A guy like Aaron Rodgers wears the mid forearm band every game without fail, hes stuck with that weird looking elbow band in Madden and for people with an eye for detail it sticks out like a sore thumb. Bottom line, player likeness isn't where it needs to be, all we are asking for is a few small tweaks additions, my feeling is it would go a long way toward helping the game look a lot better.

I care about football fundamentals - not whether Antonio brown is wearing, Fruit of the Loom, or BVD underwear.

things I would like to see.

-editing prospects before season
-give commissioner of online leagues more power and don't want forced games scoring 70 points and giving up 3
-upgraded fantasy draft maybe like a different layout
- don't want to see top round guys in free agents after preseason
-scouting not so boring and make it harder
- if I turn off visual feedback why does the other members still get to use it.
- let me turn off super sim for everyone in the settings please
-auto subs that work

I have been indifferent towards Madden since CFM was introduced. I'd usually scan for info on Franchise during their initial news rollout then move on until August when I buy the game because it's Madden. Now, I'm legit excited about this years edition.

and generated rookies to not have unrealistic helmets like qb shouldnt have full cage and don't want shoulder pads like 5 inches off the shoulders like the 80's

I care about both and it's perfectly fine. One doesn't have to be placed above the other when a team dedicated to each. The art team handles art and game dev team handles gameplay. Idk why the concept is so hard for some people to get

I would also like rookies who are coming in with dreads to have a picture of someone with dreads. It's immersion breaking for me. Or heck just tone down the amount of rookies coming in with dreads.

Ok, so now I'm being silly in the way I go about making decisions on a personal level to strangers on the net.

Cool.

I am going to throw out this blanket statement and I certainly hope it's not being judged for it's silly content, it's not intended to.

There will be certain parts of the whole game that all 6 million people who purchase the game won't be happy with.

DD- Yeah, I know they are being vague, but that's the way the roll before the news starts trickling out.

Ehh, I think you misunderstood me or I wasnt clear. My point is that a discussion on May 12th about whether or not to give the game the benefit of the doubt or judge based on history or twitter and whatnot is silly. Some may be optimistic or pessimistic about the game but it doesnt matter because the ultimate decision to buy or not isnt made for 3 months.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Re: Madden NFL 17 Screenshots and Information, Is Gronk the Cover Athlete?

Lol. I been waiting for the stiff arm to work in madden for TWENTY YEARS!!! Lol. Or, whenever they first implemented it. Of course, it shouldn't work every time, but legit, if I like stiff arming fools and I spend my xp on stiff arm, my 95 stiff arm RB should absolutely lay out a 5'10 190 lb CB. U know? Lol. U ever play NFL game day back in the day? Now, THAT was a stiff arm! I remember the sound effect, 'jeBOW!!' Lol. That was a little arcadey, of course, and I don't want that, either, but it was so rewarding to set your RB up at the right angle on an incoming defender and 'jeBOW!!' In madden, it has ALWAYS felt like the stiff arm starts to trigger the animation, and then u still get tackled. U rarely actually break the tackle. So, I'm def curious as to how well this is implemented, as I used to be a big fan of running the ball, but when jukes and stiff arms and trucks never work, it just feels so empty.

The stiff arm hasn't worked proper since the PS2 days when you pressed R1 and L1 for the stiff arm and they actually attempted it. My issue the current stiff arm is that when you press the button they don't even attempt it most of the time.

They could fire one person or so from the art department and hire more people for the Dev team, and thus get fundamentals down..

I care about the jerseys the most; the way they stretch and distort is the most annoying of the art/graphic parts of the uniforms. So I do have my art issues too..
