Re: Madden NFL 17 Additional Gameplay Improvements: Competitive Focus

The biggest issue here was the defensive backs. They would unrealistically shoot in to blow up run plays. By making them more realistically able to read run vs. pass first, and improving open field blocking for the offensive line, this is the last defense you’ll want to be caught in against the run.
This caught my eye. Albeit it was the CPU player doing it, I have a clip of a play where the defense was in cover 3 and Chris Conte was the safety and as soon as the ball touches the QB's hands he comes crashing down like a heat seeking missile without even playing the pass. Seeing that type of reaction play out more realistically would be very nice for the run game. And open field blocking has always seemed a little odd in terms of what players do and it will probably remain that way but any improvement on that is a good thing.
