Madden NFL 15 Title Update #2 Available Now, Details Included

[capa]

Seems to go back to the realism vs arcade discussion. Most of the players here are looking for realism...in Madden and other sport titles. Arcade play was fun when you were 12 but most of the folks here are looking for an accurate, realistic representation of the sport they see on TV...whether it is football, baseball, basketball, etc.

One man's steak is another man's poison. I prefer realism, and want the game to reflect the game I see on Sunday...penalties, accurate rushing, passing, sacks, etc. I no more want to see 10 sacks a game as I do 500 yards rushing a game. Some others are ok with that. Many are not.

It's ok that we all may want different things from a game, but makes no sense to talk down to those who want something different.

Madden is a video game and it does a great job at compromising.

If Madden was to go straight SIM, it would have to restrict the user based on percentages.

Then it would be boring. I think it's a good video game.

If I got 250 rushing or 600 yards passing avg, yes I would want that fixed, too.

As information, I am playing offline on Pro difficulty and not having sack issues. (2 or 3 per game both sides). One caveat is that these have been preseason games so the best players are out of the game by the second quarter.

Small but important observation I have noticed post patch is receivers (whether they are WR's, RB's, or TE's) are not flying out of bounds as easily as they were when led to the sidelines.

I think they tuned the weight distribution better. Players still have weight and momentum...no question. But it's not overdone like it was pre-patch where guys that should be able to turn up-field can not.

It is a slight, small difference....but it's something I have noticed now in the last 4 games I have played post patch.

Game feels more stable on and off the field now.

Good stuff!

Understood. We agree to disagree. It is a good video game. Realistic it is not.

I'm not getting 5-7 sacks a game and if I do, I will be happy with it, not complain about it. lol What ever formations youre doing to get a lot of sacks, then shy away from the formation. You guys are really killing me.

It's been stated several times what this problem is causing and while your seeing so many people post about it.

It's been stated several times by several posters but I will speak for myself once again.

I don't care how this stat relates to the NFL. If this was a sim stat issue you wouldn't hear a word from me.

But it's affecting the play in game drastically. It's killing CPU drives.

You can say all day to us to be happy about it but it's not that simple. I want to enjoy playing defense and I'm not.

I'm glad you're not seeing it. Great. But don't talk to us like were idiots and were making something out of nothing.

I'm not talking to anyone like their idiots, but it's not up to me how you interpret posts.

I think EA should leave the game alone and that's just my opinion.
