Thing is you just have to play realistic offense. If you run the ball, keep most your passes under 10 yards, check down, have some variety in your plays, focus on first down not touchdowns and you will still move the ball. I don't see any nerfed offense in this stream. They are throwing into coverage to showcase but I see open guys.

Oh I know, I'm just saying it seems this game is for the die hard fans for once. It' just something I can see happening where the casuals complain that they can't score and they hate the game because of it.

not seeing a crazy amount of interceptions so that's good

I like a number of the things I've seen today, personally, and I'm looking forward to playing the full game.

It looks like you could run the ball just fine, passing will take more skill which is nice. Not every player will go online and score 50 anymore which is a welcome change

Wow I honestly expected nothing from this. I hardly touched Madden 13 and last year was the first time I didn't buy since madden 03. Was Rex hired just this year? Because this is really impressive. He said something along the lines of...

"We looked at NFL stats and wanted to get realistic numbers such as passing yards per game scaled based on the amount of time played in a madden game."

That's amazing. I remember hearing an interview some time ago about them trying to get realistic stats but they never scaled it! haha so I was like Yeah you're getting 300 yards passing in 5 minute quarters!!

Anyway this is tempting me to get an XB1. I wonder if it will be similar on old gen too because I was really waiting on a good NBA 2K game before I switch over and 2K14 on CG was a major bust.

Boo.... to the Presentation guys for not wanting to show us the halftime show.

Boo.... The pass was thrown RIGHT TO THE DEFENDER, and the same stone hands animation that has been in this game for a while, prevented it from being an interception.
