Madden NFL 16's Defense Features Gang-Tackling Improvements, Better Coverage Play
 

Madden NFL 15 featured a hugely improved defensive game -- but it was limited mainly to the line play, tackling, and overall A.I. adjustments. This year, Madden NFL 16 will feature improved defensive back play as well as motion and weight based gang-tackling according to a new blog from EA Sports.

You will now be able to play the ball or play the receiver as a defensive back, with plenty of options and control to combat the new offensive tools.

It all sounds really good. Still wish they fixed QB dropbacks.

Sounds like they made pre-play adjustments on defense easier. Like that you can tell a defender to abandon QB spy

ASSISTED TACKLES AND HALF SACKS ARE FINALLY IN THE GAME

Re: Madden 16 Blog Defense
 

We also worked on the stat-tracking side – Assisted Tackles and Half-sacks are now being tracked appropriately in the stats screen.

SWEET


While most players raved about the changes to tackling in Madden NFL 15, some users complained about feeling too much “suction” in the conservative tackle system. The team took this feedback to heart and tuned both the tackle cone and match distance to eliminate warping (or suction) from the tackling system without sacrificing control or responsiveness.

AWESOME

Good God almighty....

This sounds nice but as with much else, I need to see it. Hopefully it eliminates that ragdoll effect of players where they come up the pile or interaction and just kind of rub off it and fall like a dead fish.

Pre-play adjustments, lining you man up on the WR.

Whoa, finally, it's back.

Eliminating suction tackling.

I gotta see this stuff in motion.

Re: Madden 16 Blog Defense
 

Really like everything they said about tackling. Quick adjustments also sound good. Definitely a good blog, can't wait to see it in action and hope it lives up to what they say.
