    Downloaded Madden last night at midnight. It was a smooth download. Pretty quick. Overall I think the game is a big improvement over last year. The DB has new animations that help make the action more realistic. Bad quarterbacks in real life are bad in the game unlike previous Maddens. I'm not a big Madden fan but I'm getting Madden this year for sure. Last year I waited for Madden to show up in the EA vault. Its a day one buy this year for me.

      So does the CPU qb throw more deep balls? That's always been my pet peeve, how they always dump the ball short

          Is there really no way to change the play selection to the 'legacy' face buttons this year? I mean, I know it makes way more sense for Y/X/A selection, but it's definitely screwing up my muscle memory. Last year after changing it they at least gave us the option for either way.

            Took forever and a day for me to dL M16. Got to play at about 86% installed and could only choose the Steelers and the Cards for a game now. everything was smooth and played rezlly nice. Nothing seemed to be missing except the gold NFL shields and 50s on the field. surprising beca7ee IMHO i felt that the grass really looks great this year.

            On AP Palmer had a good game while i was terribe with Roths. I was 1/9 by the time I finally made my first completion, but I blame the new system (just bought xbox1) while learning the new feel and controls for M16.

            Lost 14 to 0 with only 44yards, -3 rushing, and 1 giveaway ino. 23% comp.
            Cards walked away with 88yds, 45rushing, 7.5 avg. 1td, 66.6% comp.
            low stats for 4min qrts because I was being cheap with my 10hours. lol

            Today was a better gam3day as I won 15-14 with the Titans over the Rams. player vs player. We both threwlot of pickx and earned a couple achievements. We were both enjoying the game even though we were playing like rookies on AM.

              I had no problems at all. M16 downloaded very slow when I started as soon as it went live on posts here. (6pm CT) and it lingered for atleast an hour at 94%. (2-3am CT) while Titanfall, BF4 downloaded quite fast for me. 45mins each.

                  They definitely do on my end. They used to only throw slants and things like that before. But I guess EA paid attention a little more and fixed that because of what the game is marketed on and that's the WR/DB interactions mainly on deep balls.

                  Like I said before, it's fun playing CB, but I believe when my offense gets on the field and I have to sim, it's something going on. My offense rarely does anything. It's usually always a 3 and out. You have your occasional scoring, but something is really up. They barely keep the chains moving. Hopefully, it gets addressed. Talked to a few people about it and they were saying the same thing.

                    Loving it so far, the WR/DB interactions is a game changer for sure. My only complaint at this point is that the sound is lagging when Phil is talking and the crowd is amped up. Sounds kinda like light sabers clashing lol. I've only played a half but I'm impressed.

                        Not noticing any of this lag in gameplay or audio on my copy, must be something with EA Access.

                          Could very well be. The intro sequence was really choppy and pixelated during some of the cuts but cleared up during the actual gameplay. Then I got booted from online once the game was over. Haven't noticed it since though

                            Are there any Pass Interference Penalties when set to 100?

                              I've seen pi penalties called with it set to 70.

                                Here are some impressions after one franchise game, keep in mind I am a very casual player. I don't put a ton of time into the game as I will normally play one or two season games a week throughout the regular season. I do not play online.

                                To start I am not very skilled as play on Pro by default. This being said running the ball for me is going to be a challenge. I found it much harder and it's going to take some practice for me if I want to be able to get any type of success. I usually play 7 min Quarters with Acc. Clock down to 15 seconds.

                                In my one game I finished with about 275 yards passing and 12 yards rushing. I just kept getting stuffed each time I ran the ball. I did squeeze out a victory against the Cowboys but it was really close 17-13.

                                I think the new passing controls are awesome. They really add a sense of strategy to each play. One time I ended up hitting aggressive catch by accident when I should have hit possession and the computer really made me pay for it. They went up and jarred the ball out and it darn near got intercepted.
