Longshot (narrative-focused MyPlayer mode), MUT (now you can play with a friend!) and the Frostbite engine (MOAR SHADOWS!). GOAT edition out now, but don't worry, most places like Best Buy and GameStop are running trade-in specials, where you can get as much as $20 towards a Madden purchase, making the GOAT edition essentially "normal" price. Releases wide August 25.

Josh McCown ran away from Leonard Floyd in the open field in a game I was playing, so slider adjustments may be necessary.

my boycott of all EA games is now in it's 13th year I believe (started the year that EA monopolized NFL and drove 2k football out of business) and going strong, but unfortunately there are still mindless idiots out there all too happy to give EA money for inferior games. One day my boycott will catch on and we'll drive this substandard company out of business.

FIGHT THE POWER!

I am at year 2 with mine.

I haven't owned Madden since Madden 08. I was thinking about picking up a copy this week but heard from IGN and others that nothing's changed from the previous year. Seems like EA hasn't improved the gameplay much over the years, only the graphics. I'm more than happy to fork over $60 for NBA 2k every year because the game is always better. EA's FIFA hasn't changed much either in recent years but I pick up the new one every September because many friends do the same and it's fun going head to head/multiplayer online.

Downloading now. I'm going to friend JLN and rape him with Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky.

I've been playing a lot lately. Franchise mode is okay, even tho it has ridiculous bugs like the constant missing of extra points.

I like that the scouting is simplified and you don't always have to practice.

You sure you don't just suck? I don't think I've missed an extra point while sober yet.

I don't miss them. I just mean when I simulate, both my team and the computer miss them.

I'm not a big graphics person, but this year's Madden with the Frostbite engine on a 4k tv, very nice.

Can confirm the computer does seem to miss alot of extra points.
