Just curious, I got a long weekend this week and typically this is when I will buy a game or buy a brisket...
I raise my kids, cook and golf.  When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.

    Luckily, the brisket will afford you time to play. Don't have last years but this one has been great the last 2 days

    I play madden online (PS4). It usually is great with changes every year. I havent had time to stop by BB and pick up 16 yet. I definitely will. I have been playing online for the last 8-9 years. 

    What platform are you playing on?

    I have it but I have skipped the last couple of years so I can't really compare it.  So far, I think it's pretty good.  I like the draft kings mode.

    I decided to splurge on Sunday Ticket this year--probably bumped Madden from my budget, ha.

    it's good......the biggest change is that receivers now have three different ways to catch the ball, aggressive, RAC run after catch, and possession type reception....each come with different pros and cons.

    at the same time the defender can now choose to play conservative pretty guaranteeing a tackle or you can become a ball hawker and play the pass more aggressively.

    the qb accuracy seems to be much more sensitive on long balls.

    graphics are pretty much the same as they have been in the last couple of years.

    I'm on PS4 as well. Thinking I might grab it to kill some time. @chrisc133 I used to get Sunday ticket but haven't found a good place to put a dish at my new house so rolling with cable at the moment. Love Sunday ticket.

    Madden 16 is a good upgrade .  The added control to the passing game adds a really interesting dynamic if you're skilled enough to use it

    I'm pretty sure you can order Sunday Ticket streaming without a dish this year.

    Not on game day. The steaming service is the day after. No thanks!

    I don't think that's correct.  Try here:

    This must be different than those day after commercials on TV. 

    That's some sweet action. I'm closer to pulling the plug now.

    I have it for XB1.  I grew up playing on PS, so it feels like home.  Problem is, I bought it for PS4 last year, but most of my friends are on XB.  Was boring.  In the old days, everyone would just come over and play.  Loved them Madden tournaments.  
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....
