Madden NFL 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XB1/PS4)

I will say screen blocking needs to improve. When the CPU does screens on me, I have to fight my hardest to get to the RB, while when I do screens, my blockers run up field immediately leaving my RB to get tackled immediately or shortly after, ALSO, if they dont run upfield right away, they still leave the Defense alone and let them through. I've had too many times where I've had blockers around the RB that aren't aware of where the defense is and they just let the D through because of it. On this point, I've also seen way too many times where my O-Line just blows blocks and are oblivious in blocking for my QB, while the CPU QB sometimes literally has 15 seconds to throw because I just can't break free from the blockers to get him. Crazy really.

I just played a few preseason games in year 2 of my CFM and I noticed that all of the rookies are wearing a revo facemask. I know it's a small thing but it does bug me a little bit/

Anyone play the FIFA 15 demo? Makes me yearn for a lot of things in Madden.

It takes 3-4 seconds to get your guys to rush a CPU QB when he scrambles.. but the CPU A.I. rushes your QB the INSTANT you press R2. It's crazy. (But honestly, I've noticed even when running the ball when you press R2, the defense seems to shed their blocks and rush the RB too so maybe it's just coded that when you try and sprint, the CPU can get you easier; kinda dumb, but whatevs).

I've noticed this (apparent immediate CPU block shedding when user hits R2) with running backs, but not so much with the QB. I'm not a big scrambler so I don't have a huge sample size for this, but I've been able to consistently get positive yards when I've had to scramble with a QB. Sometimes it's two or three and sometimes it's ten or more, but very rarely am I attacked right off the line or sacked on scrambles.

My main point with the QB scramble thing was how the LB's who sit back and wait 5 years when the CPU QB scrambles are the same LB's for the CPU who rush immediately when the user QB scrambles. (And on that note, when the user scrambles and presses R2 not only does the LB's rush immediately, but the D-Linemen chase you and become the Flash as well once it's pressed).

Ok. Gotta say more after yet another game. First off, did I mention how LB's rushing me, but not rushing CPU QB is annoying (I know I did, rhetorical question). Also, please tell me how EVERY SINGLE TIME you run up a hole, the CPU DE or LB breaks their block and tackles you as soon as you pass them? ALSO, they're able to tackle you if they're still engaged in a block if you hit them??? NO ONE should be able to tackle you if their being engaged in a block!!!! (MAYBE Jared Allen [because I've seen him do it before] and some other elite DE's), but NO Secondary member should be able to do this!!). THIS GOES BACK TO SUCTION BLOCKING, AND SUCTION TACKLING!!!! And also, how I've got complete control of the game, up late in the 4th, charging down the field I'm on their 1 yard line, and to be simple I dive over the pile for a score to ice it, and they dont even hit me, I just fumble, and they recover, giving them a chance to comeback. Ridiculous. AND ONE LAST THING..... If I play another game where I'm being pressured constantly and I can't get to the CPU QB because the blocking is that good for the A.I, I'm gonna go ape. It just really sucks, this really is the best Madden in A LONG TIME, if ever... and it's still plagued by issues from 2 generations ago. REALLY SAD. Honestly, I know it's not gonna happen, but they need to take 16 off, and REWRITE a BUNCH of stuff from scratch... then see where it's at for 17.

I haven't been on the forum since release but am I the only person who feels the cpu qbs are just too good sometimes? I'm playing on all pro and I've lowered the accuracy but nothing helps. No matter what Manziel ends up throwing 3 incompletions all game. His awareness is low but he ALWAYS picks the right receiver to throw to
