Player traits are still in the game.

The guy talking about ratings was clearly speaking from a fantasy football perspective, which explains why he feels the way he did - Rodgers wasn't a tremendous fantasy football quarterback last year compared to Cam Newton, Carson Palmer, and whoever else. It also completely invalidates his opinions on player evaluation - solely judging based on counting stats - but that's another story.

Ah yes good point.

If not for the new equipment, I'd think it was a patched version of 16. Which isn't a negative comment, it's just visually nothing catches my eye. Hopefully the new commentary and improved gameplay will make the upgrade worth it.....

There is a back spin punt option now.

I'd throw ball physics on top of the new equipment and better zone defense, based off the new videos, but that is my take.

All the new features are nice and very welcomed but I just cant get past how this game is an eyesore when in motion, feels like I finally reached that point where the movement of the players really get to me where its all I notice and its hard to keep looking past it.

In that Zone Coverage vid, that shouldn't have been a pick. Nobody flips their hips that quick. I can see if the guy had his hips squared to the LOS and broke on the ball but that's just a Madden gift.

What makes things worse is a guy like Sean Lee dropping a gimme 2 plays after.

I know you can turn it off in settings, but I can't stand that damn line on the screen when carrying the ball that shows where your runner is going. Drives me nuts!

Videos look pretty solid, I loved last year's game so as long as EA didn't take a step back (which it doesn't look like they did), 17 should be a pretty solid game as well
