Vomit inducing. Now we have the clown in your avatar winning meaningless games that cost us the #1 lottery spot.

I'm not even mad at Kerr. The guy was smart to stay as far the fuck away from Dolan as possible, good for him. Rooting for the Warriors in the finals.

This is what I get for being civil. I should have shit on you like everyone else did about the Rockets.

How does it feel to see LeBron take literal NY Knick rejects to the finals?

Hire Fisher over Kerr.

Tank and still lose at life.

Try and hire rehire a dude who assisted in destroying your franchise (Thomas) on the low and thinking nobody would notice.

The NY Knicks will forever be the clown shoes of the NBA smh

They tanked something fierce on purpose and were rewarded with the 4th pick in the lottery. The franchise changers were the top 2 guys. The draft isn't until after the Finals.

They also shipped out 2 players to CLE who LeBron has now taken to the finals lol.

They are also paying Camelo Anthony $120,000,000.00+

JR Smith is junk. Glad to be rid of that piece of trash. Shumpert was a throw in just to be rid of Smith. It is painful seeing Mozgov, Shump, and Smith doing well. Fuck them.

Carmelo is a clown.

They didn't tank. They were running out the D-League superstars much of the year.

Yeah i I just edited before your post.

Shit on the Rockets for what . Getting to the WCF when pretty much everybody said they'd be 7th or 8th and maybe even miss the playoffs? Lol ok go ahead.

Any clowning will be over ruled by "but your a knicks fan".

Sorry wellie

Doug McDermott won player of the year before Kaminsky and can barely see the floor. The last NCAA dominating player that is legit great in the NBA is Anthony Davis.

Kaminsky is going to get bodied in the NBA.

Actually I hope they take one of those at #4 . The reaction would be hilarious .
Click to expand...

I dunno. I am not sure why he is in the 10-15 in mocks and Willy Cauley-Stein is just outside the top 5 if not #5. Based on what I have seen I'd take Frank over WCS.

Of course, the rumor is that Phil really likes WCS and may draft him over whoever is left of the top 4. Can't wait to continue ignoring basketball once the season starts again.

Lastly, God bless A-Rod.

Well Wiggins will be a legit great? If you ignore Kentucky alum you'd have to go all the way to... Carmelo?

I think Frank can definitely be an Allstar based off of what I've seen.

I'm looking forward to watching Dekker without the Bo discipline. He'll be a perfect NBA guy, willing to shoot 55 times a game.

Wiggins is gonna be nice. He as a bit mind fucked at Kansas because Bill Self is not a very good talent developer relative to what comes through that program.

Knicks should fire Fisher and hire Thibs. He's who I originally wanted when they were looking but instead hired Pringles Face.

Its weird, I don't really get the infatuation some people have with KK when almost every neighborhood in LA has like 3 hole in the wall donut shops that are just as good if not better.

I wonder if all major cities have as many donut shop or if this is just an LA thing.

Edit: Doesn't the Jack in the Box stoner menu have something that is a cheeseburger with grilled cheese sandwiches for buns?

DYNAMIC DRIVE GOALS

Each new drive contains a Drive Goal that can be completed for bonus XP and/or Confidence.

Specific goals are tailored based on events in the current game to give players a unique challenge each and every game.

Dynamic Drive Goals truly influence the way you play. The more goals you complete, the faster your players improve.

POST-PLAY GOAL FEEDBACK

The team listened to fan feedback and made it easier for players to see which goals have been completed in-game. This year, players will now see goal feedback throughout the mode.

XP and Confidence updates appear next to your player at the end of each play. A new ticker at the bottom of the screen tracks goal progress and shows updates to all the goals influenced that play.

Players will also notice new broadcast interface elements that celebrate completing goals. This adds up to a groundbreaking broadcast experience for Connected Franchise.

So the game is now ALL about confidence. Fuck this.

PLAYER CARD

Another big improvement is the new Player Card, which gives players an attribute breakdown without having to scroll left or right on a spreadsheet. This screen includes all the key position attributes for the player, and which attributes are being affected by Confidence.

Quickly perform key actions such as spending XP, viewing goals, adding to the trade block, and more.

This is actually kind of nice though.

NEW SCOUTING

Scouting has been reworked from the ground up in Madden NFL 16. Coaches and Owners will see a “Thing to Do” item in Week 3 that instructs how to Scout. The basic concept is that you’ll spend Scouting Points on a player, learn more about their abilities, and decide whether you want to select them in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Scouting Points unlock a player’s top three attributes, with the third unlock providing their true draft value. This true draft value will help teams find “Diamonds” and “Overvalued” players in the draft class.

Will you take a projected fifth-round pick with second-round skills in round two, or wait until later hoping that others don’t realize his potential? These are the types of decisions that come to life with the new true talent rating.
Click to expand...

COMBINE STATS

Players can now access Combine Reports during NFL Combine Week, which includes a Combine Grade and results from six Combine events: 40-yard Dash, Vertical Jump, Broad Jump, 3 Cone, 20-yard Shuttle, and Bench Press. These results can be seen without spending any Scouting Points.

Combine Reports not only include results, but also how players stack up compared to others at their position. Will you draft the fastest running back in the class, or look for a well-rounded player?

Unleash your inner Al Davis!

SIM-A-WIN

League commissioners can influence wins by using the League Schedule. Sim-a-Win allows you to set the winning team for any game that has not been played.

This tool allows players to craft the season of their dreams, and also helps facilitate large multiplayer leagues.

FREE PRACTICE

Players voiced a desire to practice with their Franchise team, so the team went ahead and added Free Practice to Game Prep this year.

Coaches or Owners can take their team on the field to experiment by using Free Practice. When Game Prep is available during the week, Free Practice can also be used at no additional cost.

Free Practice is a great way to a look at how a team plays, and lets players stay ahead of the curve.

Still can't scrim with franchise teams but this is a step in the right direction.

CONFIDENCE TUNING

Confidence has been greatly tuned in Madden NFL 16. We’ve decreased the amount that confidence changes for every player, and also adjusted the ratings per position that can go up or down, and how confidence impacts them.

A new Game Prep activity has been added to the preseason, which allows teams to improve their low confidence before the season begins. We’ve also increased the amount of time each team has in Game Prep every week.

I didn't play Madden this year but this sounds like they're trying to tune confidence instead of outright removing it.

Welp.

We're moving the madden league to dota. Every match up will be determined by 1v1 mid

hopefully game prep menus are overhauled because more prep time won't make it entertaining

seriously, the whole interface needs to be scrapped with the way they load in network content and everything is bogged down

even compared to FIFA it's such trash

These really sound like positives. Babysteps, but at least they're in the right direction. Practicing with your franchise team is huge. Not nearly as good as playing others, but still decent.

And the game actually telling you what to do to improve your confidence in game is a major step up from the guess-and-pray type of garbage from last year.

Granted, the dawn of the aggressive v conservative catching may render any positives moot points. But come on, guys... it's not even June yet. This is the time for optimism!
