    It's wierd when you first start there's a Super Bowl demo you can play with the Steelers and Cardinals and the graphics in that are definitely improved, the players even talk to eachother. Then I go to the "play now" option and it looked nearly identical to Madden 15.

    Was going to pick it up until one of the DEVS for madden said wait to start cfm until the first patch is released because there are some bugs related to cfm and that's all I pretty much play

    It's definitely the most realistic one there has been in terms of gameplay and obviously graphics. i'm not sure i like the new receiver controls which will probably be another one and done gimmick. The gameplay is cool and like I said very realistic however it's still Madden so it's buggy as s--- and freezing.

    Got an xbox one and madden 16, h--- yeah. Did some fantasy drafts on there and finally settled with a team, just played my week 1 game and won it. :emoji_thumbsup:

    My team basically has an incredible offensive line, basically as good as it can be. Then I have Teddy Bridgewater, Le Veon Bell, some good young receivers and an average defense. *edit* actually should be better than average defense but I have a couple injuries already.

    Gonna get xbox live soon and start f---in around on that, glad to have an xbox one finally though.

    Just picked up a ps4 a couple days ago. Not too sure how I feel about this one. The receiver controls are weird, and I don't see them using them in Madden 17. The backfield always seems slow once you get passed a few yards. I'll keep playing, but right now I'm not too heavy on this.

    Can anyone who plays Connected Franchise hardcore and tune sliders to get a realistic experience tell me if this game is a purchase-worthy step up from Madden 15?

    Add me on Xbox One: Miamii Heatt
    Or PS4: MiamiDWade3

    Getting it on PS4 this weekend but already have it for Xbox One

    Not good at Madden at all and part of that is because I can't not play as the Raiders lol. I'm not sure what to think about this game yet. Anyone else experiencing extremely long loading times? Sometimes it even freezes. Also, the new pass and defend s--- is good IMO. Makes it harder and gives the users a lot more control.

    I've tried playing with friends many times but it's got a glitch or something dealing with players that are signed in on the Xbox One. I don't know how to explain it but when I go to play now it won't let either of us select a team or even change home/away. It says the controllers are on. I've gotten it to work a little bit and I haven't lost a game against my friends but its only been like 3 games.

    So starting this Friday we get a roster update once a week right? Is that how it works? Don't think there's been a roster update since I first got the game.
