Sorry folks ain't trying to be negative. I will go back to moderating instead of commenting.

Nah, mods have opinions and voices too.

I just don't care about MUT so, I don't let it bother me. I know it's a money maker for them, so, I just let it be. Otherwise, I thought it was good stuff for a teaser.

Thats great, but I think this poster above said it best, "start with the making the perfect game on the field before you start adding things like this." Exactly.. I guess thats what baffles me the most is how can the Dev's continue adding things like gimmicks every year instead of focusing on whats most important, and thats making the game play feal right and realistic?? I don't get it.. And yeah we can say well at least they are headed in the right direction, well thats fine but my concern is how long its taking to get where they are headed.. So far they have been headed in the right direction for 6+ years now.. Whats sad is that NCAA is truley looking like they finally are getting there and they have always been behind Madden.. whats wrong with that picture?? wow.

I'm just curious, what did you find gimmicky about the teaser video besides MUT? Custom Play Books, TV Style Presentation, the 3d grass like NCAA has? A lot of people have been clamoring for Custom Playbooks and TV Style Presentation for awhile, including myself.

If 1 of the new features is TV-style presentation, I hope its actual TV style presentation, and not what EA/Tiburon thinks is TV-style presentation. Which is what we have always gotten.

What did you find that was different as far as gameplay from madden 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, etc.. ?? As for me, I did mention "features" and gimmicks.. I just threw in gimmicks because thats usually what is added every year to Madden. The Bottom line is instead of them adding things why don't they just focus on fixing the real issue and thats gameplay?? That was my main concern, not so much features and gimmicks.. It's like Adambroski said, "it's going to take some time".. Well it's going to continue taking time if they continue add things and not focus on fixing the core gameplay.. idk, why is it so hard to understand??

Why is it so hard to understand that there wasn't nearly enough actual gameplay shown in a TEASER to make that judgment?

HAHA that is hilarious. I agree Im not really into what Ea sports thinks is a football broadcast. Those replays in M11 were awesome but Ncaa looked awful.

Seriously man...whats is there to complain about this early in the year? (When it comes to M12?) Most of this info seems like what we've been asking for...and not much has been confirmed yet...and all this focuses on the gameplay...so idk
