It's kind of crazy to think about what Madden could look like a few years down the road in regards to all the on-screen button prompts and now a little QTE.

Shame some of you are so quick to complain without even seeing or hearing more of a feature. Some of the absurd hyperbole statements about it is just ridiculous.

If and when more info on it is released, then we can pass judgement. As I stated before, the way this series has shifted in last few years, this dev team has earned our patience.

I read somewhere that AI is finally suppose to be able to utilize all the moves a human can use

I hope that holds up to be true because it's been a long time coming where a Madden game had a CPU AI ball carrier behave in a manner that his ratings would dictate...

For example a shifty back in Madden was never really represented properly IMO....those guys ran just the same as a BIG physical down hill runner

The special teams was boring as hell because there was no attempt by AI returners to juke or elude that much....

I think a lot of this stuff goes unnoticed because we tend only pay special attention to players we control on the field....

Would love to have the developers spend quality time on figuring out how they can finally get the AI players to show case their skills especially if they are rated highly other wise a 90+ rating is meaningless if the AI doesn't behave accordingly on the field.

My jaws would drop if I seen something similar to a occasional Barry Sanders type reverse field run the by AI

Exactly, especially with regard to the return game for AI and Users. Signing an elite returner should matter but I don't even know that's the case in M17. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm not aware of ball carrier additions carrying over to encompass returners. Why has that been the case and can someone ask is that still the case in M17?

I won't dwell but come to think of it, same thing with read and react, gap/lane assignments, coverage, etc, why wouldn't those carry over to special teams coverage as well and does it M17?

Yeah, I think what people don't like about it is simply the 'button prompt'. I, personally, do not like ANY button prompts cluttering my screen and removing the 'immersion'. The idea of a quick tackle battle the way it has been explained so far doesn't bother me at all. But, I turn ALL button prompts off because, if at all possible, I do not want to be 'reminded' that I am playing a video game. As an example, Destiny just updated an option to play their shooter with NO HUD. I LOVE IT!!! No radar, no 'on screen clutter', so u 'feel as if you're there' and 'not playing a video game', if that makes sense. But, u sacrifice some important 'game information', so it canNOT be used all the time. So, I think the 'immersion' piece of this is what some don't like. We all 'know' we are playing a football 'video game'. But, we play this 'video game' to feel like we are 'really playing football'. So, again, it's the immersion piece that bothers me. And, honestly, when u play this way (wanting full immersion), u already know that any random button prompt is going to 'bug' u. Lol. Otherwise, I am all for having a little extra control in breaking tackles.

Yes Clint confirmed that the AI will have all the ball carrier special moves, as well as run fits AI.
