    Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

    Here is the interactive intro to Madden 16, the first time I played it it seemed a bit choppy, I thought that was because the game was installing. I played it a second time for this recording and it still was choppy. Guess thats just the way it is, zero chop during actual gameplay.

      Does each team play differently or does it feel like each team plays the same way?

        one of my main concerns for this game, they seem to play deep balls aggressively.

        Need more time with game to know for sure if teams play to different strengths, will update.

          Do they force you to play it like in 15?

As far as repeating animations, I have been ok with the variety, too many deep balls w aggressive catch have wr jumping, spinning, catching. RAC on deep pass in stride is nice, avoids stutter from previous years allowing DBS to unrealistically catch up.
            Figured the one handed catch animation would be OP'd just like spec catch was. Is there a rating for this or what? It should be one of those "i finally did it" after like 10gms or something

              When the Super Bowl starts it should be daylight since it's in SF but it should be dark by halftime shouldn't it? I hated 2 years ago when the SB was in NY and it was daylight the entire game. Just didn't feel like the Super Bowl.

                How are the draft classes? Were seeing different posts about incoming rookie WR's being at high speeds of 97 and 98.. Can you confirm or deny?

                  Yes. This is absolutely fixed. QB pressure awareness is a huge AI story for us this year. Data is showing 2-3 sacks given up per game (on average) by CPU on All Pro in M16. This awareness varies by ratings and style. Brady is more likely to throw balls away under pressure, Russell Wilson is more likely to scramble away from pressure and other QB's will force passes in those situations. I don't think IG has gone up in frequency, but offensive holding is more likely the longer you sit in the pocket. Penalties have a huge impact on gameplay this year.
                  This may or may not be a good sign. Because they tested last year on 7 minute quarters. Let's hope this isn't the case for M16.

                  RH, thanks for answering the questions. Do you notice any better foot planting from RBs this year or is still swerve running?

                      The acrobatic catches seem like a non issue considering the catch slider seems pretty self explanatory. First thing I do every year is drop the catching and to 25 for both and QB accuracy probably around 5-10.

                        I was thinking the same thing. Alot of little things that really broke the immersion. Loved the player faces though, and some of the animations were nice.

                              Is there any way, or mechanic used to fight for that extra yardage, or is it something that just happens?
