Only 2 1/2 Weeks to EA Access and No Gameplay... Concerned?

[PhillyPhanatic14]

Most people in the community have been frustrated that we haven't seen any real gameplay from Madden 18 yet. To this point I've been bummed about it, but now I'm starting to get concerned. With less than three weeks to go until the EA Access release I'm wondering if there are still too many bugs in the game for them to release footage. There does not seem to be a good reason to restrict the footage this late in the process and that is making me concerned that they aren't going to be ready for the release in two and a half weeks.

Thoughts?

Careful asking this question. Apparently its being asked every 10 seconds(even tho I didn't see any other threads on it), my thread already got closed down.
Anyway...
EA originally said we'd see footage during EA plays....
That didn't happen.
Now we're 2.5 weeks from early release and all we have is screens and a crap trailer?
Something stinks....

Is what it is. I'll be a lot more frustrated if the game drops and there's a bunch of issues that could have been solved had we seen gameplay sooner though.

That's what I'm thinking. You had a thread closed down for a similar question? I haven't seen anyone talking about this which is why I started one.

I think it's a valid discussion at this point. I know I am not going to buy/pre-order until I see all this 'talk' in action. The blogs sound great, just need to see it functioning in real game play first.

But yes, be ready for this thread to get closed. Instead of people who don't want to hear about it staying out of it, someone will say it bothers them and a mod will close it...

Why be concerned when EA Access comes out before the game releases ? There will be tons of footage to make your decision before release. Whether EA releases footage or people capture footage from EA access there will be enough to make a buying decision before release.

I have read some very promising blogs on game play and coach assignments, etc. On the other hand, the leaked footage I have seen, and most of us probably have seen, still showed some terribly missed blocks/threat choice pickup and suction during tackles and blocks, for example.

With that, I am willing to bet we will see the release of game play from the YouTubers and other "opinion/impression" videos starting tomorrow (Monday).
