    Are you bothered by some of the Youtubers EA sent down to EA Play for Madden 17?

    Except for SimFBCritic, OJB, Regular Dave and similar youtubers

    some of the other younger YouTubers who were sent down, make me worry about the future of the Franchise, if EA is listening to them too.

    I just hope EA isn't catering to cheesers and tournament style players. I am not fully familiar with the Youtubers in the early videos that were posted and I don't know their intentions.

    Maybe I am judging them to harshly. If I am I would like to be corrected.

    Yes, watching someone throw lobs for aggressive catch all game and do nothing sim, annoy me. However, keep your friends close and enemies closer. This is a way for EA to get in the minds of lobby ballers and limit them. Hopefully.

      No, I'm actually pleased by it. If anyone can give EA input on cheesey exploits and what to do to correct "Tournement style play" from spreading like the plague, it's the people who use them all the time, such is the case with some of the YouTuber's EA invited.

        I feel like it's always been the way. I don't wanna sound like a jerk but I see questionable gameplay even from guys who claim to be "sim" as well.

          Are these people really going in there to give input on how to stop cheese play?

          I watched the Madden Tournament, I've seen what these people consider to be "Madden Ball" and EA seems to fully endorse tourney play

            I think it's cool for people to play the game any way they want to play it. And it makes sense for EA to invite Youtubers that play the game in all of those ways to post videos and talk about it.

            Personally, I enjoyed some of the crazier videos, not because I would play that way, but it was videos of people enjoying the game.

              Maybe im just part of an older generation, but I completely despise anything to do with youtubers and madden. I feel like they ruin the fun for the most part. Dont get me wrong, there are some valuable streamers out there but for the most part I find them annoying.

                Rex already came out and said he was embarrassed by the "Madden Ball" in the tourney and it's job to fix it. He feels in the next year or two it will be more sim style in the tourney.

                    Like I said in another thread, people affiliated with EAGC fill a variety of roles. Some of us are there for testing and feedback and happen do also do (or are starting to do) YouTube, while others are there for promotional purposes and not necessarily for feedback purposes.

                      Yes, it was cringeworthy watching some of the videos. It is also the reason why I unsubbed pretty much all the guys you mentioned a while ago.

                        They're not going to alienate the largest percentage of their customer base by excluding them from the evaluative process. These guys provide year-round hype and marketing for the game at a very low price.

                        Also cheesers and exploiters provide the best test of how strong your mechanics/A.I are. Their very playing of the game is invaluable input. When your game gets to that point where you can make them change their play style or quit playing the game, then you've done some top shelf work.

                        Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

                        Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                          No, because I think it's kinda silly(no offense) to be bothered by that. Some people buy sports games to have arcade-like fun, some buy them to get a sim experience. Madden could eventually be able to do both, like NBA 2K can with the right settings, so I think the youtubers chosen were fine. It was a good mix.

                            Just like any other video game tournament, win at all cost.

                              Regular Dave IS NOT a Game Changer, and he's not apart of the EA in crowd. He did state that Rex tried to recruit him at EA Play to be a Game Changer and he declined. Regular Dave is one of the few who's opinion about Madden can be trusted as he is unbiased about the game.
                              Anyway I'm not bothered by any particular game changer, even though some of them like QJB are annoying to me, I am more bothered by the Game Changer program, it's just a front they came up with to mute youtubers who were spreading bad press about the game.
