Can't tell with the in-game footage but that's definitely a black forearm band on AB in the intro which is a good sign for those who've been wanting forearm bands.

Given the multitude of let downs in past iterations of this Franchise, especially in offline franchise where I play, it is hard for me to get excited until I see how you, our Operation Sports "family" find the game. I do NOT believe reviews anymore, because for some reason they never seem to pick up on the many bugs and problems a game has. There for I will say I am guardedly optimistic, hopeful for a great surprise and ultimately just waiting until I read the forums here before making a purchase I regret.

Target passing... hmmm...

Could be a cycle style target system like Tecmo Bowl, or, God forbid, a location targeting system like John Elway.

I can't fathom a better passing control scheme, although I did prefer the old system for velocity rather than the double tap.

I like how passing controls work now actually. If they just removed tethering and lowered accuracy across the board, it would be perfect.

And franchise mode is ALL I care about, if they add:
1.Create-a-draft class
2. And a team relocation/Re-branding option like NBA2K. Its a certified win for me

My first guess as to the sim/arcade/competitive thing. As some have said here, I believe sim will either be what we had last year, or a slightly modified form of last year. I have a feeling the overall gameplay will be pretty similar, but they could certainly up penalties a bit (and, have more def PI, imo, as one example). However, they may also add a few things as some have mentioned. Perhaps, they do add bad snaps. Maybe, they add injured linemen as well. Also, more over/underthrows by QBs, maybe? So, overall, there could be something to look forward to, there. And, we haven't seen pass targeting, yet. So, that may also be affected. Hopefully, it's not just last year's game, and arcade/competitive sort of make sense on their own. Arcade will allow more special moves to 'win' I would think. Competitive actually might be interesting for sim guys that also like the sticks to dominate as opposed to the ratings. So, that gives options. And, I would hope they gameplay tune for EACH of these gameplay styles. Meaning, I hope the data they receive is based on gameplay style, so that they tune sim with all sim gameplay data, and they tune arcade with all arcade gameplay data. Overall, it's def a step in the right direction. Looking forward to see more details. Definitely curious to see target passing right now. If they have FINALLY removed the TETHER from that GD ball!!!! I will be one happy camper!! Well, unless the new system is horrible. Then, I'll be posting to this site daily!!! Lol.
