I wonder if the G.O.A.T. Edition will have a different cover athlete?

Well if so, it can only be Aaron Rodgers.

And any ideas what target passing is?

I would love (and very doubtful) for simulation mode to offer things like bobbled snaps, high snaps, penalties more realistically tuned, etc.

I am assuming it probably just means tuning of things like less actuate passing, etc. which would be good too

I'm hoping it means we get bobbled snaps, high snaps, and penalties. If people don't want that they could just play on Arcade or Competitive.

Never understood why offensive lineman didn't have a snap rating. Offensive lineman shouldn't be as interchangeable as they are and snapping is literally the most important skill for a center. If a center can't snap then he can't play.

Target passing sounds like maddens version of NFL Fevers read and lead passing. Wasn't my favorite on Fever. I have concerns about how EA would deliver it.

Simulation vs arcade mode sounds nice on paper as well.

Have to wait and see what the game looks like in motion. That's what would bring me back after not playing for the past 4 years. Do the players finally move and block like real humans?

Tom Brady is on the cover of Madden this year

Great. Now I can be reminded of the Falcons collapse every time I play Madden......

That was my first thought as well when I read "Target passing"

If this means that the ball is no longer tethered to the receiver, that would be great and could mean lower completion percentages. Obviously, too early to make assumptions based off of a couple words, but I am intrigued.

Totally agree. Look at what jason Kelce did to the eagles last year when he somehow forgot how to snap the ball all season. Ruins a lot of drives. Big part of the game.

Coach Adjustments? Coordinators? or too optomistic?

yeah im curious about this as well , lets hope so for coordinators.


I see many here seemed to like the passing cone of the past. I however really hope that is not what they mean by the new passing targeting system. I have hard enough time just trying to move qb from pressure and hitting the correct buttons to pass to right wr. I cant be trying to focus some cone on a guy and hit the right button too.

Id much rather just see real touch and precision passing in the game mechanic. Instead of just lobs that float too long and allow defenders your trying to throw over time to go get it.

But now the wait begins........ for real details and videos ( after e3)

As someone mentioned before here , though these things sound good so far... if that oline play isnt alot better.... man , i just dunno what ill think then.... hard to swallow this horrid oline "logic"

Really interesting idea. Are you thinking like an NBA/FIFA system where the longer you hold the button the further the ball goes? And different button combos would do different things like lobs, bullets, etc? Could be really interesting. That power system works really well in the other games.

The new passing system made me think of this...https://youtu.be/Y6O-kNvNaRE?t=2089

I wonder if ea access changes now that they're selling this goat edition? As of right now if your reasoning to get the goat is to play it early there would be no need if you already have ea access you'd get to play early anyway.

The goat edition most likely includes an EA access monthly pass of some sort. Considering it's only $5.

A win win for EA. Promote EA Access Front and center for people eager to play Madden early.

On the one hand, I agree. Tethered passing needed to be gone years and years ago.

On the other hand APF total control passing did it without adding the clunky controls of Fevers read and lead. It would also be disappointing to find out Frostbite innovation is just ripping off a feature of a game released in 2003.
