Okay finally somthing I like to see. The scouting looks very good. I think that will be more fun than it is now.

Free practise is a nice addition. I could see using that from time-to-time.

Back to scouting... the watch list is a great addition. You need to scout every week though or you lose 50% of your points.

Reading some OS posts.... apparently the WR/DB interactions ar fantastic... BUT OL/DL line interaction has been absolutely neutered. I have seen almost no sacks in the stream.

I've had a good amount of sacks in the games I've played. I agree with the WR/DB interactions.

I agree the interactions look good - however i do not think it has ANY impact on how the game plays - i'm just not seeing any difference in the passing game/passing defense. it looks better but its the same thing (guys open every play)

i'm also not seeing any pass rush (unless its a user jump snap)

HILARIOUS - after allegedly doing CFM (where they mentioned next to nothing about the improvements to the mode) they go back to MUT and begin a VERY SERIOUS conversation about all the new/improved stuff in the mode.

safe to say CFM is 100% the same as last year

I think the interactions include the way the Defender can play/punch the ball and the way they defend passes. Like the ones Rudy posted of the CB's doing some pretty solid things. Simultaneous catch, pass interference, etc.

Which I think all do have a factor into Gameplay. Not just the hand jostling, but I could be wrong

Yeah outside of the dynamic drive, game, season, and career goals in-game, just a few tweaks here and there.

disappointing - i'd personally be interested in seeing the stats (im sure EA has) on how the game is played - maybe noone plays career mode anymore and I'm just a dinosaur

By the sounds of it, the priority list is

#1 MUT/Draft Champions (whatever that is)
#2 CFM

I would put Online play in there but there really isn't anything they can add to that is there? In terms of features or additions.

Shopmaster is going to do a 24 hour stream starting at midnight, I'm sure you can find the details on his Twitter - www.twitter.com/Shopmaster

I'm going to probably stream tomorrow night as well and me mic'd up for questions and take some requests.

Steelers gameplay on All-Madden or nothing

Preferably against some other lucky bastard who was fortunate to have the game early lol

No coverage on the flats or slants. I expect big human pass game numbers.

User controlled? OS people said blitzes or user controlled DL are the only way to get sacks. The issue was that the cpu AI players do nothing.

Cool look forward to seeing some decent guys play the game and see if I'm wrong.

Yeah they spent a ton of time fine tuning MUT

I have no problem with people being critical but the notion that EA is the reason there's no 2K is laughable. The NFL wanted exclusivity and EA got it. The NFL is all about making something "The official __________ of the NFL."

I'd need to pay more attention, probably more user than CPU I'd assume.

Yeah I love the situational journeys. It's a good way to start building your team without buying packs.

Damn it JB lol.

Just say what time you will do it and I'll be there haha. Not trying to sit there and wait for you all night like last time :D

maybe i'll try taking mut seriously (instead of just whoring out the trophies)

is there a guide/video that outlines all these challenges/collectibles - i.e. what do i need to start them and what i get when/if i complete them?

I will put you at the front of the line if you are in when I stream :D my guess would be 6 or 7 central tomorrow if I am free.

I've had it on XB1 for a couple three weeks now. Was helping test to get it ready for EA Access.

It's pretty self explanatory on the game.

I know it's a old argument but I refuse to do MUT/HUT etc. After dropping a good chunk of money you then essentially pay a lot more money to make a strong team to use online. This stone is out of blood.

I hardly play anyone online. I just go through the solo challenges and there are a shit load to do so there is always something to do.

lol these guys are pissed people are worried/complaining about aggressive catch being overpowered

What the heck is Rex doing on kickoff returns? He is about to lose to hoopgawd.

I want to know if they fixed or updated the TE or HB momentum thing when you throw them a pass on Madden 15, they will run out of bounds instead of turning up field. Has this been addressed?

I asked on the EASPORTS live broadcast but they don't answer. Busy over there.

Considering they said it was fixed last year... I'm highly skeptical.

lol that Rex guy is really pissed/angry about people questioning whether aggressive catch is overpowered

I saw it in the 5 minutes that I've watched from a video the other day. Not fixed.

I think the WR and DB stuff will be huge. Before deep balls were automatic knock downs and wins for dbs regardless of ratings. This will no longer be the case. And I can choose possession catch so my idiot WRs stay in bounds!

This early release business must really put the hurting on things like Midnight release at Gamestop. In the past people would show up early at Gamestop to see the game, play it and then rush home at midnight to play.

Now it seems like the mentality is, yeah great, game has been out for over a week now....just give me my copy.

No?
