Booted it up and played as the Bucs hosting the Falcons. My thoughts:

-The lighting is fantastic and progresses significantly throughout the game (YES!).

-This is my first year playing with the zoom cam on offense and I really like it. It makes me feel more like the QB.

-The zone issues did not hinder the CPU, as I threw 4 INTS with Jameis, including 2 pick 6's.

-Movement feels nice and responsive.

-The running game is great. Love the way the holes open up.

-Noticed the stuttering during the pre-game intros. I'm sure that'll get cleaned up.

-I jumped straight in to play now, so I did not learn how to use the coaching adjustments or ID'ing the Mike. I'm looking forward to trying those out.

So far, so good. I had fun playing and will enjoy playing in an online CFM with other OS'ers. Another solid year for Madden.
