My bad man. I was being sincere, I guess the quotation marks gave the wrong impression. You guys are great posters.

I agree about the "The" it sounds corny like there is some implied importance and probably gives a vibe of arrogance or egotism. That's really not what I am about and never meant to give that impression. I am planning on changing it next time I have some extra scratch to donate to the site for another name change.
LOL I think he was honestly just joking around with you to defuse some of the tension. I really love this community. You guys are the best.

It doesn't matter to me. I asked why it matters to you. I'm not going to start insulting you because you have a difference of opinion than I do.

Please change your tone towards others who have a difference of opinion than you.

Thank you

I stress gamer POV because anyone not affiliated with creating the game and can only see game play when it's released by others, presumably wants to see as much they can, as soon as they can.

Seemingly any and everything EA Tib chooses to do concerning this game, has some excuse or reasoning offered up for why the issue is us and not them, even when they contradict. For example, it's supposedly confusing why anyone would want the latest game play build possible before EA Access but it made perfect sense people wanting alpha EA Play footage, which mainly had to come through EAGCs. Think about that logic, it's supposedly completely understandable why gamers would want to see alpha build game play a little over 2 months from EA Access but it's unfathomable why it would matter to them, seeing a more polished version after that, before EA Access.

To top that off, that's being posted in a thread started less then a month from EA Access, about an article with M17 montage video clips but why it matters to anyone seeing this stuff play out, in uncut game play, in the latest build, before EA Access, is supposedly beyond comprehension.

This type of stuff is unnecessary.

The goofy flopping is still here and there but definitely not as noticeable as last year

The wr gets past him during his change of direction. But being an explosive athlete he makes the change and accelerates. The throw is soft and behind. He made the catch at the other hash.

It is a video game so real life movement is a harsh standard but...

If video Tyrann Mathieu didn't make that type of play in that situation I would throw my controller.

Swerve running while still cheese is nowhere near the problem it was in Madden 13-25. Swerves messed up pursuit angles. They upped the AI adapting its pursuit angles every release.
Anyone who has played the game irl would know that no one can flip their hips going that direction and still get in front of a WR that's already running in the opposite direction. It's a turnover on the goaline. It's more than just a simple play.
