That's because the first game was user vs CPU, second was two users and one o which was trying to narrate the stream and play at the same time.

Yeah, I dont think we're going to see a good rep of what the game is doing, until it's CPU v CPU OR CPU v Rex or someone who actually designs the gameplay.

The tackling looked improved, I did not see a lot of the pull-up or avoid tackle animations. If additional players were in range to affect the tackle they did more times than not. One minor annoyance that I've always seen in madden is how the images freezes on come camera transitions.

Also, just watched the halftime show because I couldn't yesterday, was having problems with Twitch. Much less dead air than what was shown at E3, which is good. I think high-level it's set up pretty well, it's a good framework to build in. Particularly the cinematography in the opening stages.

As for constructive feedback, which probably isn't all original - I would like to see more of the play and more shots from the traditional broadcast cameras when the show is broadcasting highlights. Not all, I like variety, but at least some. More player names in the dialogue would be nice; the scripted lines are very generic right now, but at least they flow together nicely. Much better than, say, the GameBreak cut-ins in NCAA Football where Rece Davis' lines just didn't fit together much at all, IMO.

The other thing I'd like to see - the show's end is very abrupt. The last highlight plays, and there's a very quick transition back to the field. A more natural flow back into the game would be nice to see going forward.

Dude you continue to say that the second game (Jags-Eagles) was user vs. user, but it was NOT -- the guy on the left (the host, or what have you) is playing as the Jags, the guy on the right is handling the Twitch questions and speaking on presentation aspects of the game...

This being said, it's a good framework to build on for 16 and on. This being the first year they have a solid HT "show" in there, we CAN'T expect gold.
