Madden NFL 15: Retail First Impressions

[jayenomics]

I just got such a chubby reading this:

The New Connected Franchise Options Are Great — Setting up a weekly gameplan or repairing your team’s busted up confidence is such a great series of decisions to have to make each week. Alex Smith had a horrible game against the Broncos and his confidence sank, so I had to spend valuable preparation points to raise his confidence back up. These are the things you don’t see in the NFL, but things coaches have to do to ensure players are at the top of their game.

On the same topic, you’ll find little change to the number of penalties and variety of penalties called on default sliders; only penalties occurring as a result of direct user input like offsides and false starts seem to be happening. While this inaccuracy seems to work as directed for user-controlled players, even on All-Pro difficulty with default sliders the AI quarterbacks can go on superhuman runs of completions. Regardless of the ratings involved, a quarterback can complete in excess of 80% of their passes, even when a significant pass rush has been generated to disrupt them. Sliders and gameplay tuning may be able to tweak this experience, but at present the inaccuracies are hit-and-miss for the AI UGH I cannot believe WR/DB interaction and passing is still in this state, there goes my enthusiasm for thid game.

OS knew about the WR/DB interractions from an interview with Rex and Clint last November.Rex said in a few years they would get to that.

I've done slider adjustment for QB accuracy on both sides for a long time. It won't be different it appears this year.
