    I didn't even noticed it being improved honestly. I've pretty much given up on getting a good Halftime Show. I don't even care anymore cause it still isn't as good as.....well you know.

    I've moved on. Not ever expecting it.

      I really wish for the halftime show they should would show the FULL play and from a BROADCAST cam angle just like on tv or that football game that came out in 2004.

      I read somewhere that EA wanted to do their own style of presentation that the real networks wished they could do but there are reasons the real networks don't show zoomed/close-up 3 second replays at halftime...
      1. It doesn't tell the whole story of the play and 2. It's very very annoying to watch.

        I find it funny that icing the kicker is a thing now, instead of 9 or so years ago when it was all the rage.

        Hasn't it been proven that icing the kicker makes an insignificant difference at best?

          If it wasn't in the game people would be saying "Hey EA, if its in the game, its in the game, right?" I've heard plenty of people request this type of feature before.

            It seems really off the mark to actually make Icing the Kicker hurt your accuracy when it rarely ever works. I always wonder why coaches even bother trying to do it still.
            Agreed but at the same time this a video game and A) kicking has been too easy for years. B) this gives that sense of pressure when the games riding on a kick that we've really never had the past 2 generations.

              i really despise how in so many views and instances all the players are walking on AIR, or floating around... that bothers me most....

              with that said the animations are most definitely becoming less robotic and more fluid very happy so far...

              alllllsssoooo... is that how the new overlays are going to look? all bare and minimal? if so I LOVE IT

              good job EA.... getting there

                The halftime presentation still looks the same. Would have liked them to show more stats for players besides just the QB and RB. Will just be skipping the halftime show again this year.

                  I'm oddly more excited about this than I was about the free practice feature last year.

                  With this focus on kicking my fingers are crossed that cpu players aren't 99% accurate.

                    Doubt icing the kicker will affect most players who play a lot as I assume the timing is still the same. With muscle memory the disappearing meter is nothing more than a visual aesthetic.

                    Also as someone who played over 700 games online in 16, I'm having a hard time seeing differences. It always worries me when guys who do commentary mention something that's "new" in an upcoming madden when it was clearly in the previous version.

                      So any type of penalty or play that goes against him...he complains about. Got it!

                      Seemed like football wasn't a game he would usually play.

                        I always assume the guys who call things "new" are in their early 20s and haven't been playing for the past 10 years or more.

                        I admittedly suck but with an equal number of games on all madden with rookie kickers I still will miss at >40 yards.

                          Interesting for the game but an analyst last year said kickers in the NFL have a higher fg% after a timeout than before or if no timeout is called. I know Adam Vinatieri always said he loved the timeouts so he can take his time instead of rushing. I never believed that icing the kicker ever worked.

                            Why is this guy saying PI isn't in Madden 16? Do I have a different M16, because I've had that called on me tons..

                              It was pretty rare (such that some people may have never seen it) if you didn't move the slider off of 50.
