I'm in favor of sim gameplay, and this to me won't bring the game closer to that. It really sounds like a band-aid feature if the CPU AI hasn't been addressed, and honestly, I don't expect the CPU AI to be addressed in this situation.

Last year was the brand new d-line controls to dominate the line of scrimmage. What happened? Sacks galore.

So, M15 was the year of the sack...is M16 the year of the interception?

Color me skeptical....and this is from someone who has played more M15 than any Madden since I stopped playing '08 on the PC (caveat...most of it spent trying to get the game sliders balanced to accommodate the "new d-line controls").

Look...if they can add new functionality and balance it properly, wonderful. But history is not on their side.

The thing is though, there shouldn't need to be a specific target group that plays any certain way to have an AI that behaves accordingly. It baffles me to no end why basic things in other sports games and football games of the past, require lobbying and explaining to get them into Madden. It's the same thing with CPU v CPU games in CFM and a true coach mode, so it just irks me is all.

Also to make sure I'm on topic, hopefully WR/DB interaction is vastly improved in Madden 16 yet the notion that it's likely going to be touted as a "feature"........just refer back to the second sentence in my first paragraph, smh.

Id like to think this means they added WR/DB jostling controls, but I have a sinking feeling it's gonna be something that heavily favors the offense.

I don't like the sound of this...Though I will remain open as there is no way to make heads or tails of a single sentence.

It's only one sentence but since when has defense had anything to do with air supremacy? That's definitly an offensive term. If they wanted to make it about winning the battle in the passing game they should have said something along those lines. That and the fact that last year was a "defensive" year with Sherman on the cover really has me feeling like we are going back to robo qb. But it's way to early to tell and speculation is fun lol
