Madden NFL 16 Playtest on June 9 at EA Tiburon

Re: Madden NFL 16 Playtest on June 9 at EA Tiburon

Also test if you can abuse the AI with a running QB. It really aggravated me to see one of my friends get away scrambling to outside almost every play, and throwing it to a WR or TE sprinting across to field, or just take off with the QB for a big game if his players are covered. The CPU should adjust to this trash style of play and shut it down if that's all he's gonna do all game without mixing it up. Edge containment needs to improve.

I am curious if you have found a way to stop or contain the mobile QB's?

Is this the first time this has happened?

I think so and I think they're pretty confident in the gameplay. I also think they're inviting people who like football gaming but haven't been huge Madden fans, based on the people I've heard who were invited.

Only way I contain it somewhat is to bring a 5 or 6 man blitz but if they pick up the blitz it's a huge gain. DE contain works sometimes too. You pretty much gotta hope for the best when you dealing with the CPU. They'll just run straight into your guy sometimes for a dumb sack too. It's not as hard against another USER.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Playtest on June 9 at EA Tiburon

Testers from OS, please play the CPU instead of 1 vs 1, or try cpu vs cpu.

See if there are any oddities in what you see. Sack issues, QB accuracy.

Thank you.

I hope so, as I primarily play madden against cpu. You are assuming they will allow us to roam and play whatever we want? They might be focusing in on certain areas of the game, or it might be the E3 build that will be primarily blocked in many areas. Let's hope it is a full version and they let us play test many areas. There is a NDA, so I will not be posting anything on here about game, until NDA is dropped.

I worked at EA tiburon in QA department as a tester on 2004 and 2005 maddens. So will be cool to go back and see studios and how they have expanded. When I was there was in old building down the road. My resume has Madden 2005 on it for QA, so you know I take my madden serious.

Any tester, please run the 01 trap play; any crossing patterns, short and deep, and check to see if the TE gets pressed/chipped...

Good one, also run a quick slant play, the same one on every down And see if you can march right down the field and score.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Playtest on June 9 at EA Tiburon

The free EA game will probably be Madden NFL 15.

They said it can be any EA game. Even Madden 16 when it comes out. Nice try though.

Regarding the 01 trap, I asked Clint on Twitter if it was still way to easy to gain yards or if they fixed it. He said they didn't do anything to fix it, but defenses are better this year. So take that for what its worth.

I may or may not be going if I can find a hotel room and gather together $1,000 for plane tickets and the room. I'm hoping to see if I can make this a bit of a mini-vacation to get away from home for two days.

Please tell me you are joking. Save your money. You are going to be severely disappointed. They send play testing opportunities out from EA about once a week, sometimes more here in Orlando. This is not something you build a vacation around and spend thousands on.

Actually, I can guarantee none of these people will be getting Madden 16 as their free game. You must pick from games already released. So yes, Madden 15 is a realistic option if someone really wants that game, but 16 is not.

Also spread plays out of shotgun or singleback right up the middle.. It was usually a 1-3 yard gain every time.. 4th and short was guaranteed with those plays unless an LB slipped through the crack. The problem was the Dline would never get any penetration mainly from the DTs. They were either stuck on the block or pushed back. It didn't matter how good the Dline was you were going up against. I really hoped that was fixed..

It says right in the press release you can choose Madden 16. Unless they removed it.

EDIT: Here is the quote from the release.

Both all stars and rookies are needed to help us test, and you get to choose a shiny new EA game as a reward for your help. (You can even choose Madden 16 and we'll get you a copy when it comes out)
Reward: 1 EA game as thanks for your time
