It's legit... I'm not that good at photoshop...

Do you know anything else about the game you can share with us since you're not under nda?

Disappointing to hear that they are sticking with the 3 attribute scouting system. At the very least I'd like to see them make all attributes available (like Madden 15) and allow us to decide which 3 we want to see.

Yes, it is disappointing, I would love a more qualitative scouting system like on the NFL scout cards (good hand catcher, slow off release etc) than a guaranteed quantitative system like M16 (where their catch is B+, it will be high 80s and the scout is never wrong). Plus, they reaaaaaalllly need to make sure storylines match the attributes and combine stats being reported... If a person has the highest 40yard dash... make sure he has the highest speed! Or a QB who blew up the senior bowl gets an accuracy boost etc.

Everyone is under NDA, if they know something about the game, it can't be shared right now.

Yes, but I've been told that the draft classes have been reworked.. Fewer QB's with superhuman speed, RB's with speed along with the bruisers, WR's who are more varied.. And I've been told the safety positions have been redone where you'll see guys actually come in with good speed, instead of them being an 82 speed with 88 acceleration

But my problem here is this. Not only did the classes need re working( and im still not convinced it will be done well at that or enough) they dont want to admit their new way of scouting is not good. That is where when i hear things like this, i dont have all that much hope in the "focus on cfm" bringing about alot of change that is needed.

Sorry , just being honest. That new scouting system sucked for online 32 man teams and not addressing that just means its gonna be another year of funless drafts once again. Madden 15 was the best drafts and fun a 32 man league has had .Dissapointing at best

I'm not as I have no affiliation with EA or their partners

Well if you want to share info about franchise that's up to you but whoever told you what you know could get in trouble

are cornerbacks able to swat in this game??? you couldn't even swat in 16 it was of the worst games i ever played.

Re: Madden NFL 17 Address All 3 Phases of the Game: Offense, Defense & Special Teams

are defenders finally able to swat the ball in 17 instead of getting sucked into animations each and every time??? if not the game will be useless to play like 16.

I've only been told a few things when it comes to franchise.. The big stuff I've already posted.. I had yet to actually get my hands on the game so I can only go by what I'm told.. Only other big thing I've heard is they are in fact trying to implement formation subs, but are trying to figure out the best way to do it. I have a screen shot of that, but I'm not gonna share it as there's private info that could give up my source

If that's the big stuff I don't think you were told much at all because that's not even that big to me just based on what was discussed when I was there last year. We'll all find out when the blog drops though.

Wow that's Hugh news the first info and picture on cfm crazy! So they are increasing speed again !

I hope not. Every player shouldn't be fast.

I thought it just showed a faster 40 time not the actual speed rating.

If you cannot provide me or another staff member your source, you are not permitted to post any "insider" information.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I would think that applies to anyone in any situation prior to a game release, especially one of Madden's stature.

Hopefully we get two this week and then either 2 or 3 next week. Also am guessing next week will be busy since they said franchise info will be coming out as well.
