Stay tuned for updates.

And there you have it.

I said earlier in this thread that I saw those plays in April when the first game play was played.

MLB the Show can do it, NBA2k can do it, so why is it so hard for EA to record all of the names in the game. I noticed on the V-Jax TD and on the Int there was no commentary on either player that made a big play. Using "He" is a cop out in 2012. In the NFL they would have mentioned every player that made a play by name and usually coupled that with some information regarding that player. It's easy to say yes EA is headed in the right direction, and to some extent I can concede that. But overall from what I've witnessed so far EA is still playing catchup and will be for awhile. Hopefully June 4th has the "updated" commentary...

Maybe all this is to actually build up super hype once june 4th rolls around and they show us how they can plug stuff in just like that in so short of time. If not then posting these vids is going to bring out the beasts.

Something big has to happen on june 4th fellas or its just gonna be madden as usual!

Makes sense. It's not like EA is actually hyping this particular video. They didn't upload it to their YouTube like the rest and I haven't seen it anywhere but those two places. Seems more like one of those things that gets sent really early on with a "Don't run until x/x/xxxx" note and by then it's completely out of date, just like pretty much everything we've seen thus far.

And you know what?

This goes against everything EA has ever stated regarding madden right!

"We ran out of time" - After seeing these early vids and impressions and asked if this or that can be changed, these too were supposed early builds!

"Maybe next year" Statements made in early dev cycle of madden every year for the past 8 yrs.

I can go on and on and im sure someone like BIG F can find and post links to all of this. But it baffles me how ALL OF A SUDDEN they can get stuff in this deep into the cycle when they claimed this was never possible before.

So with all that said, this game should frequently stay upto date as far as the missing "tuning" features from last year, stable patches in a timely manner regarding gameplay issues and whatnot.

One thing I remember with Simms was the introduction of the "chalkboard" in NFL Gameday....

Would be cool if they re-introduced that feature.

Take vacations till it goes gold and then come back for feedback? On Twitter, I've read where they tuned and squashed bugs up to E3.

My question is what is being done privately that they would not want to share with us? This is just a guess on my part , as many do in here just guess. I would think the things they are working on privately is the patch.

Now with Bugs being worked on. That is a given and has to be done,but that doesn't prove that the game will be solid, just less messed up.

It's cool I was hyped a few days ago , but after seeing this video and hearing the commentary I was turned off. I will chill out, and just wait to see what happens, and hopefully I'm wrong.

And if video's we see in May and June are what we're going to see in August then I guess this is the first year you'll be able to be sacked on 1st and 20 and have it be 1st and 24 (1:30). Crowd noise will also be virtually non-existent and no teams or players will ever be mentioned. They did just update the scoreboard as well so I guess this will be the first year that what we see in May is in fact different than what we get in August. We've never seen EA deliberately show as little gameplay as possible like they have this year. There wasn't even a point to having the Audio Playbook yesterday because the only new thing we got was the Madden Theme. June 4th is when the cat's out of the bag.

Nothing wrong with you and I feeling differently about this video, or how differently we want to view it.

I agree June 4th is the day when the cat comes out the bag.
