Lots of things to like in these videos. CPU zone defense looks fantastic. And even the line play looked better.

Charch! Such a good video game/ fantasy football mind. Minnesota is lucky to have him.

"Talking about Brady's consistency, Rodgers' falling apart without Jordy Nelson, and Roesthlisberger's success at home – are all of those things a matter of intangibles that ratings can't capture?"

It's not like we had player traits for those exact things in madden 12 but I digress.

Player traits are still in the game.

Yea, Rodgers didn't fall apart. Not sure where he got that from.

The guy talking about ratings was clearly speaking from a fantasy football perspective, which explains why he feels the way he did - Rodgers wasn't a tremendous fantasy football quarterback last year compared to Cam Newton, Carson Palmer, and whoever else. It also completely invalidates his opinions on player evaluation - solely judging based on counting stats - but that's another story.

Ah yes good point.

If not for the new equipment, I'd think it was a patched version of 16. Which isn't a negative comment, it's just visually nothing catches my eye. Hopefully the new commentary and improved gameplay will make the upgrade worth it.....

I'd like to see some more of those ball physics on punts to make sure the ball doesn't just automatically bounce forward just about 100% of the time lol.

There is a back spin punt option now.

I'd throw ball physics on top of the new equipment and better zone defense, based off the new videos, but that is my take.

All the new features are nice and very welcomed but I just cant get past how this game is an eyesore when in motion, feels like I finally reached that point where the movement of the players really get to me where its all I notice and its hard to keep looking past it.

In that Zone Coverage vid, that shouldn't have been a pick. Nobody flips their hips that quick. I can see if the guy had his hips squared to the LOS and broke on the ball but that's just a Madden gift.

What makes things worse is a guy like Sean Lee dropping a gimme 2 plays after.

I know you can turn it off in settings, but I can't stand that damn line on the screen when carrying the ball that shows where your runner is going. Drives me nuts!

Videos look pretty solid, I loved last year's game so as long as EA didn't take a step back (which it doesn't look like they did), 17 should be a pretty solid game as well

High Player Sense coupled with high ZCV + AGL ratings.

WR aren't aware of the ball until they "look back" to see it, but def players are programmed through "Player Sense" to auto look back at the QB at the snap and often times through out the whole play.

Same warp-drive issue as QB drop-backs.
To make ZCV tighter, def players cover huge chucks of land back-peddling/side-shuffling w/out any "momentum" applied to their change of direction.

We can't touch Player Sense, but lowering ZCV (which dictates players reacting as soon as the ball leaves the QB hand) will minimize the instant reaction by def players greatly.

There are some gameplay things we will be able to improve with ratings editing inside Franchise now.
Like most though, just wish it would be out-of-the box.

My bad I meant Player Roles they are not in the game.

I read early on, that there were going to be new gameplay camera angles added to this years Madden. Can anyone confirm this?

Re: Madden NFL 17 Gameplay - Short Video Clips (GameInformer)

I can only speak for myself, but in 16 I never saw picks like the one by Mathieu. This without even making adjustments to coverage sliders. This was an area that was much improved over past Maddens, where tinkering with those sliders were always a must.

We'll see with the retail release if they've juiced it back up some, to impossible quick twitch levels, but the good think though is that for single player gamers at least this can easily be fixed with sliders.

Yes, exactly. All I saw there was the same thing that makes me put the game away. These super human, ridiculous looking movements that lead to turnovers. I know it's being touted as "smarter" defense, but it's not smarter, it's super human. In real life, he would have to plant his foot, attempt to change direction and get over there. Chances are he'd probably slip or have to put his hand on the ground to regain his balance. That is a case where you throw that pick and you throw your controller out of frustration. The overall player movement is still so choppy and stuttered.
