Re: Madden NFL 17 EA Play Conference Reactions (Roundtable)

There's just so many more areas that I felt could have been improved or created that could have had a positive impact for both ends of the spectrum while leaving this methodology of playing still very much intact.

I agree with this on a personal level, but I keep going back to Clint and Rex on the priorities, timing and resources mantra.

I am sure one of those three probably fits into the equation, even though it's not what we want to hear.

Can we get some gameplay tho? Haha

As a parent of a toddler and someone who works 2 jobs 7 days a week, i am thrilled about the "play the moment" addition.

What is the difference between this and super sim as it currently stands? How is it so thrilling? You sitll need to load a game. I don't see how it is a departure from what is already available.

I'm not sure why some are so against options. I think they are wanted to get more people interested in playing franchise mode with this. Is it a ground breaking feature, no. I will be one who uses it. I will play my regular online CFM and I like to have a side single player one. I am 36 and have a family, job, and 4 kids. My time is limited. It would be cool to either play a whole season like this or only play the full games like when it's a play off game or something.

Having more options is a good thing. There are still things I want added but, they are adding things I will use and enjoy

Edit: and yes I know there was super sim. It didn't work very good and took a lot of testing to get quarter length right and it wasn't as fleshed out of this new feature is.

One way that it is different is that the User doesn't get to pick when they jump into the game, the computer chooses key moments in the game that the User can jump into and control.

And also the big thing for a lot of people is the ability to use the slow speed super sim option that lets you watch the game in broadcast mode until you are prompted to jump in. Not jumping in at all effectively makes this CPU-CPU mode, something that people have been wanting back for a very long time

Besides the new announcing team, what I'm really excited about is making Franchise or Season mode more inclusive of what the other 31 teams are doing not just your team.

I found this review good at describing what to expect from the new gameplay mechanics:

I posted another decent review in the M17 wishlist thread too.
