Madden NFL 16 Videos - 49ers vs. Cardinals & Draft Champions Full Live Draft

[JKSportsGamer1984]

I think my favorite improvement is the small jukes and short choppy steps. Its a thing of beauty to finally be able to actually hit the holes because they have the ability to do small cuts to hit them.

On the down side, looks like Dez Bryant, Megatron, Larry Fitz, and other big possession receivers are going to be unstoppable this year.

Another issues seems to be that wr/db interactions don't start until the receiver gets ready to make the catch, they should be getting physical before the ball arrives.

Another issue is that Qb's are still taking stupid sacks, the likes of Kap should be running and moving to avoid sacks, not sit back, and wait to get hit for the cheap break avoid sack mechanic to trigger.

I agree I love the improvements to the running game this year. On the other hand, I don't mind Elite receivers like Dez & Fitz being able to go up & dominate in the air like that. They make catches like that in real life. Now should it be happening every single play? No but I want the elite receivers to stand out in the game so that you have to game plan for them & not leave them in single coverage. I personally don't have a problem with the catches I've seen so far.

Its nice to see the stadium option for the cardinals stadium was on open by default instead of always being closed like in past maddens, so hopefully that means they are also open in CCM by default for all stadiums that have retractable roofs.

I was just about to post this. Every stadium was closed in CCM regardless of it being a beautiful 74 degrees outside.

Why is the presentation almost EXACTLY like 15?

Scorebug and the intro with the 3d stadiums morphing into the start of the game looks exactly like 15... from what iv seen so far it looks like the presentation guys took a year off.

Yea I hated that it was like that esp. since the game doesn't look too good in dome stadiums, I wish they would just give us the option to have it open or closed before the game like they do in play now mode, I also wish we had weather options before games in CCM.

I was upset to see this was the same, and as for the highlight video they have for the QB when he comes on the field that will get old quick, EA needs to learn to be more dynamic with presentation, so we wont see all the new additions they added by just playing one full game.

I feel you about the catches but I think they are going to be OP/cheesy.

I was watching gameplay on Gametrailers and I was actually kind of impressed. The aggressive catch was hard to gauge because they had a 90+ receiver against CBs in the 70s overall. Even then, they didnt catch everything on aggressive catch, but I'd say tuning it down just a little more and they got it.

It's Madden though, so I'm staying cautiously optimistic and waiting for reviews.

Hi new here, was wondering doesn't look like draft champions will be available offline versus. Anyone seen anything that say otherwise ? I think this would be a fun mode to play on the couch with some friends .

Hopefully not, that was one of those sounds good on paper but is a horrible idea concepts.

Options are good though.
I personally LOVED FP mode in 2K as well as R&L passing in Fever.
Wish we could get more gameplay options in Madden.

I would much rather them improve what is already there than add new gimmick modes that people will play a handful of times and never go back to. We have been down that road many times before with Madden.

See that's the thing (Just like the conversation on how people are voting on CPU vs CPU) if you don't want to use that feature you're not forced to. Shouldn't mean not to have it or make any since to vote it down. I'll never really use CPU vs CPU but I voted it up as the more oiptions people have the better.

And for what it's worth I used the FP mode a lot more than regular mode in 2K. I really have zero clue how many people used it or not but know how much I liked it. Same with Fevers read and lead passing.

Looking at games like The Show, there's simply no reason we shouldn't have more options by now in Madden.

I really hope the coverage is much tighter on All-Madden. Hopefully we get some videos soon of people playing on All-Madden. Pro and All-Pro gameplay be killing me. Especially the CPU defense.
