Madden NFL 16 Gameplay Video: Cowboys vs. Eagles (First Quarter)

[RaychelSnr]

Here is the first of several Madden NFL 16 gameplay videos we are posting today. This first series is from an online game between our own Steve Noah and Chase Becotte, featuring the Cowboys and Eagles. The highlights of what to look for are below, and if you can't see the video above -- click here to see it.

1st Quarter Highlights

Both teams try to get a running game going but neither can. And both the Eagles and Cowboys stall out inside the 30 on their opening drives.

:37 -- Steve schools me on a spin move on the opening kickoff.

1:57 -- Witten drag route works out for big gain

3:02 -- Randle screen pass for 10 yards

4:52 -- Jenkins sits back in zone over the middle and swats pass away

6:03 -- Celek catches corner route for 36 yards

8:00 -- Bradford checks down on third and long

8:24 -- Field goal for Eagles (3-0)

9:28 -- Beasley goes up and makes nice catch for first down

Did I see Eagles and Cowboys mixed together on same sideline during one of the cut scenes?

That left juke move that Celek did on that long reception looked good, realistic, not over-exaggerated.

ya bailey went to the wrong side of the field and hung out with the Eagles since he missed the field goal. guess he thought he was part of their team since he helped them out. cmon EA!!

One thing I saw in my last game that disgusted me: I saw my CB guarding his receiver (man 2 man) take a step forward, immediately spin and start running the opposite way with the receiver step for step. Then, when the receiver broke down to make his comeback (he ran a comeback route) the corner instead of having to break down, just spun and got in front of the pass and picked it off. All while the receiver was barely done making his break on his comeback. I think its great that recievers and TEs no longer just turn corners without breaking down in their routes, because that is just not possible for human beings to do. I love it. I only wish that cornerbacks and safetys had to play by the same rules in this game.

Nice to see that spin move looking as realistic as ever.

Why is it the thing that annoys me the most with Madden 16 is that EA have stuck with the oversized Playcalling Overlays? Maybe it's just me but I hate the cluttered screen between plays.
