One of, if not the best marketing applications ever applied to Madden.

Game had literally no hype with majority of gamers with the “wait and see” mentality.

Look at the frenzy for some “early” play time 5 wks our from EA Access release (Aug 2).

There’s a 2nd component to this also that may be going on as this pilot is done.

Meta being collected that may show that the cost that the GC Program produces when flying individuals from all over just to get feedback, is no longer needed (ie cost savings)
- just give them some beta codes to hand out to their communities right from their homes

Matter of fact, the foot traffic to individuals that are handing out these beta codes is crazy, so they’re winning also with how this is being done.

Might not know all the particulars, but this is genius.

Lastly, let’s be honest, most folks who are getting the codes are just playing the game early more so than providing some actionable feedback through labbing rating edits etc... to see what can/can not be improved.

1) **right off the bat, QB THP needs to be lowered again to really highlight/provide the QB Differentiation when a QB is Usered.

2) I think all OS’ers here would still like to see a greater Pass Rush/Collapsed Pocket.
- some labbing with the additional PBK ratings would be needed to seeing any impact.
