Really?...Who will have tie to fool with a Ipad, Surface or smartphone when some fool is running hurry up and quick hiking. Ths feature will be absolutely useless online unless you are playing a close friend and you both agree to allow each other tme to use your coachglass. Its cool but not practical in use for online.

For me, it seems like a sim feature with potential.(potential being the key word) One can only dream that tiered-play calling is ringing on the doorstep. History can change, too, but will it? Time will tell.

At this point I'm a complete negative Nancy so I will stop after this post. I have hedged my bets over the last several years concerning Madden, always holding out some hope or optimism that things could change but no more. I don't even consider myself a cynic at this point but a realist. EA Tiburon has played out the same script year after year under the NFL exclusive, using a different cast of characters and props but producing the same overall performance. Until something drastic happens like NFL licensed competition being allowed again and/or the bottom falling out of sales, nothing will fundamentally change.

CoachGlass is another "prop" in a long list of them.

not to mention the game isn't "deep" enough for something like coachglass to work in a simulation way. I don't know how to explain it. The game would need to be fundamentally solid for a feature like this to work well. You play one game of madden, you've played them all. No variation. I know in my opinion.. I'd use coachglass for 5 mins then never touch it again.

Well, not much to say after that, you are being real.

One could only hope you are proven wrong in you last few sentences. Again, time will tell.

naw man and I know folks just don't want to accept this but EA's business philosophy with Madden has nothing to do with giving us what we want. They are the McDonalds of videogaming meaning they sale alot of units based on their consistency. Them damn Mickey D fries might not be the best but they are pretty good and no matter where you buythem from Bangor, ME to Bellingham, WA they will be the same and thats what most consumers want...something they can trust...EA knows this and that is why from year to year you don't see or feel a big change in the Madden formula. This game is not far removed from the Ps2 days...Its just prettier with minor generational improvements.

We are all to blame because the one year they tried to change the game in 2006 with the 1st cycle of next gen games that were absent all the features this community and the Madden world cried blooody murder and demanded that old Ps2 twitch feeling back...So here we are and here they are...lesson learned...be careful what you ask for and when it comes to Madden never let your expectations outshine what has happened historically with the development of this franchise.

All that being said...I still want to see what's under the hood...Thats how I will make my assessment on whether the next gen is improved...Not grass, not fully rendered sidelines or crowds...How does it play is where I will make my decision and we can't see that in snippets and videos.

At this point, you are correct, but, I'm waiting for the A.I. news before I say the game won't be deep enough.

Maybe, just maybe, coachglass is a preview to the A.I. announcement.

i wish i could be as optimistic as you road. I guess I just see it as a core flaw. No tweak to AI or new feature can change the way madden plays to me.

I don't need that tablet to tell me this is a PASS.
