In Madden its just way too fast and too little playbook options on O and D.

It's been reported they have brought the NCAA no huddle over to Madden.

I'm excited about QB inaccurate passes. Please EA dont give in to the casuals and tourney guys. This is long overdue and a huge step in the right direction.

Love the impressions except for the romo shot lol I like the qb erratic throws I also hope they don't change but like producers said about snaps over the qb head or the holder for a fg a lot of players are gonna moan and groan about it because it takes the control out of their hands kind of. I think the snaps over head should happen when you do hurry up offense. Glad to hear the improvements

Does anyone know if they are adding more teams for us to use for head to head matchups?

[Stikskillz]

Did you notice back ups playing on special teams or special team aces? Are there defensive assignments for matchups?

Has anyone mentioned the running animations? Have they been changed? Is there a variety of them or the same ugly animations from M25?

So... the second Madden on the current Gen (X-1/PS4) and, from the sounds of it, the most noted improvements are celebrations??? Unbelievable! One thing EA has been notoriously bad about is the fact that they don't understand subtlety. They bring something into the game - like the new QB accuracy problems - and instead of it being something that is life-like, they make it happen far too much. All to show off their new thing... whatever that may be.

The people at EA really need to watch an actual football SEASON and learn that things happen sporadically. IF they were to ever learn this, the game would improve by leaps and bounds. QB's fumbling when running, if they are a pocket passer... you can probably count on one hand the number of times this happened in the NFL last year and yet the person who played the new game for an hour makes it sound like he saw this happen as much - if not more - in one hour than what really occurred in an entire season.

And why did they remove the coin toss??? Every single game begins with a coin toss. We're on a new Gen of consoles and they remove this? Seriously?

It will be a great day when EA no longer is the only company making football games. They've been the sole provider for a decade now and they've done nothing but ruin the art of video-game football. Such a sad and pathetic joke.
