Still noticing the overpowered NFL Blitz hit stick. I wish they tone it down like NCAA did last year.

I thought it applied to audibles I don't know about hot routes.

I like the matchup/coach stick. But I'm surprised when you zoom out to do it, they still don't actually show the defensive player who is lined up opposite your WR. It would be great to always know where Revis or Sherman are on defense before the ball is snapped.

Match up stick is good idea only if the gameplay implements it correctly.If a 5-7 CB can still jam a 6-6 WR at the line and leap over him it's kind of just pointless. If they can finally make height/weight matter it will finally put a game of chess back in Madden.

Edit:Along with them having defensive assignments which I'm 9/10 sure they don't

Okay, thanks. I thought I read somewhere that they adjusted hot routes to where guys can't do 7-8 before the snap, but maybe it was just someone on OS speaking hypothetically.

Nope you read correctly. It was mentioned that the hot routes would take longer to get too and you only can hot route once before getting to the line. Madden allowing unlimited hot routes with every QB is one of the things that will always make this game an offensive juggernaut.

And makes it a pain in the *** to be an online league commissioner.
