Its just some rice crispy treats made with fruity pebbs intead of rice crispies. For extra cena-ness you can put some protein powder into the melted marshmallows and butter before throwing the pebbles in.

Yep I've played about 6 hours. It's better than ever. I loved last years Madden too so take that for what it's worth. New passing mechanics and defensive playmaking while trying to break up or intercept passes is fucking awesome and a great addition.

Do defensive backs still make ridiculous interceptions/deflections? One of my turnoffs with the more recent Maddens is that defensive backs will drop wide open easy INTs but will somehow make diving over the shoulder interceptions when my receiver has the guy beat.

Nothing too crazy from what I've seen but it's Madden there's eventually going to be some crazy ass INT that shouldn't have happened but the best thing about the new DBs is their ability to actually go for a deflection and break up passes and the animation looks great. Sometimes they'll swat that shit up in the air to try and get another DB to intercept it though there was one instance where I did that and my db should have had an easy deflection INT but he dropped it. I was pissed lol.

Oh man if you haven't played it in 5 years I think you'd be pretty surprised by all the changes. This years changes are probably the biggest. There's options to throw a low pass, high pass, lob, bullet by holding down shoulder buttons. Receivers can go for possession catches, agressive catches or RAC catches and the button prompt comes above the WRs head so you know which type of catch to go for. It's pretty great but it's definitely not OP either. Running the ball is actually really tough for me this year so I'm still trying to get better at that but you can hold RB to make your running back go sideways to get through the hole easier. A bunch of other shit I'm probably forgetting but those are some of the major changes.

After what EA did to Madden this year and the UFC game....I'm feeling some type of way that 2K ended up being the publisher for WWE games :(. Sighs......

I'm really enjoying it, usually I don't feel strongly enough to pick it up or even rent, but I played a good amount of 15 (thanks EA Access Vault) and 16 feels like a big step up (thanks again EA Access for giving me 10 hours to try it out before release)

Eh. You like NFL?

I love the NFL, yet don't give a fuck about the videogame.

I used to really like NFL. Then I lost all my free time and can't keep up. I will always watch a football game if it's on.

So yeah, I highly recommend it so far.

Just saw that stephen amell facebook vid. really cool, think HHH is right that he isn't going to draw much ticket sales but he's really playing the part well. Maybe he'll get some teenage girls to sign up for the network~
