Madden '17
Anyone getting a little excited? Seems like they have really made an effort this year.
Franchise mode is getting an overhaul according to recent news: 1. Full player editing while your franchise is progressing. 2. Coaching/FO decisions. 3. In-game ticker with live updates. 4. Practice squads. 5. New commentary team that will actually talk about things happening in your franchise. 6. Draft has been tweaked with more busts/gems. Gameplay improvements: 1. Zone Coverage overhaul. 2. New ball-carrier special moves. 3. Real gap control on defense. 4. Real ball physics. In the past the ball would tether to a player based on ratings. They also overhauled kicking to make it a challenge now. There's a new three-click system and weather/location will play a factor. Also, apparently on clutch kicks if the opponent "freezes" the kicker by calling a timeout the kicking meter will disappear and you have to make the kick by muscle memory. Kicks and punts can also be blocked. How badly all of this shit is ****ed up on release remains to be seen but it does seem like they are making a big effort. |

Marvin Lewis has the perfect expression as the Chiefs new head coach.

I moved to the 4-3, simmed my first season and we won the Super Bowl with Alex Smith. .

Man the practice squad is the best thing ever.
I literally just look for 21 and 22-year olds to shove on that thing and develop. |

I generally don't like the 3-4. and I really don't like it in Madden.
my first order of busineess is to somehow switch to a 4-3.

So apparently, if you set the human fumble slider to 0....it actually has the opposite intended effect.
I'm guessing I'll finally make the playoffs in my third season after THAT slider adjustment. |

It is really bad, Clay. You've really outed your inner lil Chiefy in this thread.
Off the top of my head, you passed on Andrew Luck 2.0 for a 3-4 pass rusher immediately after switching to a 4-3, which is essentially the Dee Ford situation in reverse. You traded for a G on a cheap rookie contract and proceeded to move him to T while taking your $7m T and moving him to G. Now, in two years you'll have a guard making $8m per year and a T asking for at least that much yearly. You signed a 33 year old running back to an $8m per deal in an attempt to establish a modern Martyball era. All while essentially gutting the team of any of its franchise faces. Seriously, this team is ****ing unrecognizable and not in the good, post-Pioli kind of way. |

Clay's first move should have been to find a QB. He failed at that.
