i think my days of purchasing madden are over maybe I'll wait until it's like 20$ tho

I'm really disappointed man. This is now the 3rd iteration on the current gen consoles and not only does it look exactly the same as last year (only new camera cuts) it plays the exact same way also. These "new" WR/DB interactions have been in the game for years the only difference now is that it's a point of emphasis with a zoomed in camera angle when you pass and a annoying *** button giving you to option be aggressive on offense or go for the pick while on defense. At the end of the day this utter lack of motivation and pure laziness on EA's part is completely unacceptable. EA makes entirely too much money to not build a new current gen engine from the ground up to give consumers improved visuals and post PS2 era gameplay. At this point in this series any change would be a good change and its desperately needed. Can't believe how disappointed I am when I didn't even preorder it I guess I just hoped things would be different this year and I was wrong, again.

Man madden is madden and I understand the complaints...
What really got me back into it was joining the NT league... Haven't had that much fun in madden in a very long time...

I don't understand guys who haven't copped in years that are still passing on the game. I get EA slacks but let's not act like madden 16 will be anything like madden 12. We didn't even have next Gen then. You guys are going to finally cop after 4+ years hiatus them struggle them blame the game. I've seent it.

I remember it was one in Madden 06, I believe. You put him through the combine, Wonderlic test, draft, season, etc. I remember playing the hell out of it...
Camera angles sucked if your player wasn't a QB, RB, or DE lol...
Would be nice to see a revamp of that mode. EA deserves props for bringing the concept to the table...

Yeah the camera angles would suck for some positions, but it would make the game a lot more enjoyable

Looks like a more polished version of 2015 from the videos I've seen.

I bought last years but have skipped 3 of the last 4 years and I disagree last years felt just like 360 did only a lil better
they really need a total overhaul, especially visually

The difference from M25 to M15 was pretty big to me. Gameplay wise at least.
It does seem to essentially be a highly polished M15.
The gameplay is okay from the few hours I played. All I played was MUT though not a huge fan of the aggressive catch stuff but its not hard to stop it really. I can see it being big cheese later on down the line when higher rated players come out (I don't play reguar games).
Run physics feel much slower but it actually helps you not smash into blockers and find holes better. Been feeling like my QB automatically rolls out sometimes and I do not like it.
If you play MUT, get tall corners and safeties asap
If you live in an NFL city you have a chance to get a free copy of Madden today via UBER.

My biggest complaint from the videos I've seen is there seems to have been no emphasis on upgrades in animation, graphics, and little things like crowd, interviews post game, coach options etc.
Also having a sports game today without an EXPANSIVE my player mode where you can build them and control them from the ground up is laziness.

The Aggressive Catch mechanic does scare me a bit. Some of the tips that result from a pass break up seem OD to me and it looks like a cheeser's dream with the top WRs.

When they tip the ball 7 yards forward and a safety catches it on the ground :x
You don't even need top rated receivers to cheese AC, I threw 4 loooong TD passes to an 81ovr (I think) Cordarrelle Patterson and he burned the coverage once the popup for the Y button came up every time. Dude would just get a boost out of nowhere when I held Y.
Def needs to be tuned a bit. Also the encroachment glitch is way more effective this year, even the computer is using it.
Also got neutral zone infraction for the first time ever in my history of playing Madden yesterday.

After seeing videos it does look like aggressive catch is cheesy. The running did seem slower to me too.
