Another random thought during my trial. I loved the defensive camera angle in last year's game, but the new secondary stuff kind of ruins that this year. Wouldn't mind a zoomed out version of it so that I can rush the passer and also see what happens when the ball is in the air.

Game speed, running animations, and the new passing and catching makes everything play completely differently. You have to play to know. I think it's significantly different gameplay wise, presentation is really similar

Just a warning out there, and it probably already has been said. You can't go to the dashboard when playing or it will kick you out. I was in the middle of a game and I went to go invite a friend to the party. when i came back it bumped me off and i had to restart again

What sliders are people using for the cpu passing game? I'm on default all pro getting shredded by every QB I play. Just player Fitzpatrick and he went 13 for 14 237 yards 2 Tds. Only incompetion was a sideline throw where the Wr couldn't get his feet down

The very first play that I played I saw a hold on the line. like you could clearly see the o lineman holding the players jersey with one hand as he pulled the other way. A second later, the flag flies. Definitely a nice touch

Do I have to completely run out of my playing time on my original account before i can start playing my next 10 hours? EDIT: I got it now. I had to uninstall the ea access app

Are you meaning you had to delete the EA App from your first gamer tag before the second one would work? I too have two gamertags and have purchased EA Access a second time for one month to play another 10 hours. Haven't quite run my first 10 hours though but would like to know the procedure for when I do.

# 227 nick8407123 @ 08/21/15 07:41 PM

Is there anyway to continue on your primary gamer tag that somebody knows of? Or are you able to save things from one gt and transfer them to another?

# 228 tgiordano @ 08/21/15 08:29 PM

Does the game feel smoother than last year. How is the framerate when throwing out patterns.Graphic better than 15

I just had to click sign out on my primary

Are assisted tackles being properly tracked like they said they would? Sorry if this has been asked before

# 232 Jrocc23 @ 08/22/15 08:37 AM

I was called for 2 defensive holding penalties in a row with no changes to the sliders.

Got on my nerves though because I was actually controlling the corner and they made me just hold onto him while I was trying to get off. But glad they are in.

# 233 Gerg04 @ 08/22/15 10:10 AM

So I finally got to sit down and play a few Franchise games, I am now sold.

There is something very refreshing about the pre and post play cameras. Totally new and help make the game feel new. Sure they'll become the "norm" but I enjoy them.

The different catches, wow. You're not just mashing Y (triangle) every throw now. You have to make situational decision and I think that's great.

After some of the patient and talented people give us some good sliders this is going to be a REALLY good game. I already find it very enjoyable /challenging / fun with default sliders on All-Pro. The sliders will be the icing on the cake.

I really hope the sliders work the same across all modes in order to streamline the adjustment process. Slider testing within CFM is kind of annoying to say the least, because you have to constantly back out of games to change them up.

The easiest way to test is to play in practice or training mode and change up the sliders while you're playing through the pause menu without having to fully back out of games (correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember being able to do this in a previous version of Madden) . However, if I recall correctly, the sliders would work different after you started your CFM for some reason.

Any suggestions on streamlining the slider adjustment process from the gurus out there? I think a big chunk of this 10 hours for me is going to be getting sliders set up for the actual release next week.

Couldn't have said it better man. There are layers of complexity in the passing game and the overall feel of the game is nice. I'm already messing around with the sliders in HEAVY observation mode right now!

I'm about to dump everything down to zero and work my way back up.

I played a full 60 min game last night.
Steelers(me) vs Cards(cpu).
It was the best Madden I've ever played BY FAR!
I lost 27-16

-Assisted tackle stats were recorded properly(ie. 8 solo 4 assist 12 tot)

-The Aggressive catch was not OP'd, my team actually got 2 redzone ints from pass breakups and they broke up a few also. I had 1 aggressive catch w/ M. Bryant.

- Penalties were in 6 penalties called in total, 5 on me, neutral zone infraction 2x, they had a 1 PI called for 30yds, a couple holding, it was really a welcomed addition to see!

- the tackling animations are much improved, very organic and actually plays out like you would expect from a new gen system.

- the animations from D-linemen swim moves stubbling on the ground, and how they really battle with the O-line is also improved.

- Cpu Carson Palmer avoid 3 sacks, by just having better pocket awarness. His best highlight was making me miss a sack in the redzone and hitting his WR by just using the new rollout mechanic. I only had 1 sack all game! They had 3. I can only imagine how hard it will be to sack more aware qbs!

- QB % Big Ben(56%) vs C. Palmer(64% cpu) nuff said

This was the most fun I've had playing a football game ever guys!

I played on All-Pro w/ all default settings. I may not even touch sliders this year! Which would be a blessing in disguise (no more slideritis).

Good, well i mean GREAT JOB EA TIBURON!
I would say it's close to a 9 out of 10 imo.
I'm confident the kinks in CFM will get ironed out bringing it to a full 9!

They need to increase the tackling sound effects. Much too muted.

You can turn the volume up on those in the menu

I apologize if this has already been answered, but is there a way to see how much of my ten hours I have left?
