Huh? I wasn't trying to talk bad about the game just the fact that ESPN and Madden are kinda the same in my eyes, ESPN wants be a sports news network but it's really become mostly about gossip and personalities(like Stephen A and Skip) Madden wants to be a football sim but is having trouble finding its footing.

If it's anything like last year's first look trailer then we're probably looking at about 5-10 seconds of actual gameplay. Regardless, we should be able to get the vision of this years game with the tagline of whatever the big new thing is.

I wasn't referring to that part, the end part, unless you were being serious.(tha't why i hate the net sometimes)

The part about where EA was spending their resources this year. I thought that was an attempt on CFM from last year.

How about this for speculation: ESPN is announcing Madden because they are playing a bigger part of presentation?

I have no inside info on what's going to be shown thursday but this is my guess, Von Miller will be the cover athlete and there will be some gameplay showing some new pass rush features, just a guess but that's what I'm expecting/hoping to see.

Oh lol I wasn't being sarcastic really interested to see where resources went this year, I'm betting CFM got some love especially after Rex said it would last year but I mean what in CFM. Did they add new things or focus on improving old ones? Has xp changed any? Will the draft feel more alive? I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing what they improved.

Hopefully it is Vonn and we get new pass rush mechanics and true gap play including fill and force players
