    Clunky gadget special teams plays coming soon(TM)? That's our very first look at what's "new and/or improved" for this year's game?

    Is that really being too critical?

    Good for Gronk to get the cover. He seems a bit of a lunk head but damn he's a force in the game right now.
    I see where you're coming from, but let's keep it real man. The casual fan doesn't wanna see a missed field goal, or some other basic special teams play.

    They wanna see the coverboy apart of a trick play, juking and dodging fools in the open field for a TD. THOSE are the fans this trailer was catered too, not the sim crowd. Our videos will come

      Marketing made the decision over the developers to cast a wide net to catch more than the 5 to 6 million people that buy the game.

      The trailer was not for us, it is what it is.

        I'm glad they gave us actually gameplay instead of a pre-rendered trailer that they claim is in game footage. The Madden 25 first look trailer still looks better than Madden 17.

          I'm waiting for the E3 trailer before I pass judgment on what 17 is. I believe Rex said this cover trailer was just to showcase Gronk, and Rex said it shows about 5% of what they did this year.

            Would have been nice to see a blocked field goal returned for a TD but I guess it would have been hard to fit Gronk in that situation.

              I can't remember how it was last year but didn't we get some gameplay clips with the Blogs that they released? If that's the case then hopefully we get some more gameplay clips this week.

                I think they may have had a stream of some sort but I could be wrong and just thinking of E3. It would definitely be nice to get some clips or even gifs within the articles showing off some of the things they've improved. I think one thing they should do specifically is show the same play verse a certain defense with the same two teams side by side with M16 and M17 and show what's changed with gap play and zones.

                  I'm a barely-posting kinda member, and I've read a good amount of this thread (but not all of it, so sorry if this has been brought up) but.....

                  When you post a trailer with what Madden looks like now, spliced with (is it CGI or Real or almost real like NFS went) what Madden should look like.....it makes Madden look like 10 Yard Fight in comparison.
