Which is exactly what I want.

Will cpu controlled defense use all of this, like play flip, etc

This the one I've been waiting for!

The AI will automatically flip your defense when the offense flips so that your defense aligns to the proper strength in relation to the offensive formation they are seeing after the huddle break.

I specifically remember this is one BezO used to hit on getting in a lot.

This is a big one for me. Alignment gives me a lot of trouble when the CPU goes to those no-huddle situations. Too often if I'm in zone the nickel corner is on the wrong side vs. a tight end with the safety on the 3rd receiver and there's not enough time to flip back.



Good stuff. Good read. I hope the new flip rules means those days are gone where I'd call man and if the TE was flexed out in a spread formation it would throw off the alignment.

And they've finally go true 2-gap defenders in this joint. I swear if this stuff works, I'm turning to a hermit. I might run the 3-4 just on gp.

Well there auto option for flip play so I assume they can use it

So awesome...finally some real football being brought to Madden. This is great!

Wait does auto flip mean we get Sams and Wills now? Please please please especially important with the new gap control and assignments. In a 4-3 the Sam is always the force guy leaving the will to be the cutback guy.

My god all of this sounds great if it works close to properly. I can't wait to see some gameplay videos because everything reads "new animations, new animations, new animations." I love the Read and React part they talked about as long as it doesn't make things feel too slow but the idea of having a player shoot gaps versus a guy who is slow based on ratings sounds excellent.
