Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

Great vids of game thanks, really enjoyed that. Game looks great on the whole only a couple of glaring issues I saw not game breakers tho could be tweaked.
Forte missed a massive gap and went outside on 1 run, only saw it once so maybe ok.
To many guys catching and going out of bounds early still.
Cutler way to accurate I thought.
CPU returns still go straight upfield and are very weak.

Liked it tho not a moan up at all

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

Full Game Packers vs. Bears All Madden difficulty. Played kinda vanilla D (play selection) to speed up game as much as I could. Didnt mess with the depth chart either, Packer fans thats why Carl Bradford is starting at MLB and not Sam Barrington.

Yup, same thoughts, us slider makers have a LOT of work to do...first and foremost gameplay speed in general looked WAY too fast, guys seemed a tad twitchy almost (look at the Forte Run at 4:44 in the second video definitely looked faster than normal on M15...

-Also CPU run game was terrible tbh as you said on that 3rd and 2 (00:47 in the second video...) play it was a shame to see Forte bounce it outside for no reason and not get the first when he had a huge hole up the middle...very disappointing to STILL see that in the game.

-Back on the CPU run game in general HUM tackling was WAY overpowered I didn't see a broken tackle all game tackle slider will need to come down a bit

-Was honestly pretty disappointed to see Jay Cutler's pin point accuracy in the first half...he basically didn't throw an in completion in the first half at all until they started their hurry up offense. Robo QB seemed alive and well to me...Example 10:05 in the 2nd video that's just a throw IMO I just don't see Jay accurately making that pass as a 79 OVR qb with a 76 OVR Mid QBA and a 65 OVR deep throw accuracy...

-Literally the most annoying thing in the world seeing the CPU step out of bounds unnecessarily on every other pass...

-Not sure I saw Cutler throw the ball downfield to his outside receiver...CPU qb's still seem too obsessed with their short crossing routes from the slot...

-Gotta see more in general from pass defense from both teams...

-IMO Speed Threshold may need to come UP not sure Lacy should have gotten that type of separation on that last TD run...

-Game Overall just seems easy.

-Overall great gameplay from Rev, you are the real mvp for this man!

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

I have a question, can you still select a third strong qb in CFM and have instant start turned off like the two previous year?

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

Thanks for the great videos. Surprised you played so well on All Madden.

Unis videos coming?

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

I thought they said the fixed the issue of having players step out of bounds when there is room to cut up field and continue running???

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

Oh lord looks like Robo QB is still alive and well and man coverage still seems suspect. Everytime he played man someone got roasted and was wide open. Not liking that.

Was it like this every game you played on all-madden or was it just this one in particular? Also do elite players feel elite? I know about offense but i mean moreso on defense. My biggest gripe in M15 is JJ Watt felt no different then a random RE unless i usered him personally and the LE could be a bum but would still constantly get pressure.

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

I've found ways to get enjoyment out of the game in recent years but I have to say when watching these videos that I see only slight improvement and have to watch for awhile to tell I'm not watching a video of a ps3 version from a few years back.I know I'll get a mixed reaction on that comment.

If you've somewhat liked Madden,the game is an improvement but for people that haven't and expect a big difference like '09 to '10,it really doesn't seem that way.People will probably get out of Madden what they have been used to getting.

I constantly got sacks with jj watt in 15...

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

The Cutler sack and fumble before the first half whistle was VERY.....how should I put it....
"Cutler-esque"! LOL!

Thanks for posting a full game video @reverend_heat!

Is the EA embargo on not posting videos been lifted now, so we should expect more full gameplay videos? This video along with MrHurricane's Panthers-Vikings video will definitely tide me over for now....But sure lookin' forward to some more gameplay!

Those WR-DB Interactions are great! The emotion at end of plays has been a thing of beauty to see...DB's gettin' in the WR face and jawin' (and vice versa)...And don't get me started on @simfballcritic's video of Martavis Bryant gettin' physical with the DB after his TD catch! WOW!

I believe that once our slider gurus on the OS board get their hands on this....the slider magic will begin!!! Albeit, it will take time to dial in (or maybe not)...and not to mention...FBG rosters being worked on.....

Absolutely stoked for release day!!!!

I actually really liked the CPU using Cutler. I saw a good variety of short, medium, and long passes. They threw for over 300 yards...don't remember the last time I saw the CPU cross 250.

As for the high completion percentage, Heat did say he was running a vanilla defense. If you go back and watch, he stayed in the 3-4 a ton...even in obvious passing downs. I'm glad the CPU tore him up...otherwise I'd be concerned!


Totally agree with stepping out of bounds - that was annoying. The CPU desperately needs more field awareness.

To go along with that, I wish the CPU run game was sharper. Too many missed gaps and unnecessary juke moves that took it away from getting upfield.

The CPU also has a totally different feel for pocket pressure. I like how they throw much faster or spin away to try to avoid the sack. Thank goodness!

We will obviously need to tweak a lot with the sliders - but I can already tell this game is a solid step ahead of 15 IMO.

Here's a basic one, what's the default time limit for games this year?

This may have been answered somewhere before, but I couldn't find it...

Are we able to turn off these bubble stat banners that float around the players? The design idea of this is just cartoonish and ugly. Madden shouldn't look like VH1 Pop-Up Video.

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

Guys, make no mistake, catching the ball on the edge and cutting upfield is hugely improved, I know there are multiple instances in the video where the cpu steps out, but I promise it doesnt happen like it has in the past and you will notice an improvement.

Second, All madden has always had a little bit of a cheaty feel to it. If you have to play on all madden, robo qb will be present, there are plays in the video you can see if you are user controlling d line or lb, there are going to be massive holes in the secondary, especially if you are in man alignments. If you play on all pro and enjoy it, rest assured robo qb is dead for you.

I have played a few other games on all madden, and have gotten behind by 2 td's a couple times, dont forget I was playing with one of the highest rated teams against a pretty low rated opponent. My personal preference would be a difficulty level between all pro and all madden.
Sliders will be needed to get an even experience on all madden.

If you can get a chunk of titans gameplay before ea access id really appreciate it. If not, all the other videos you posted will tide me over. Lol
