Madden NFL 16 Features All-New Controls to Dominate Air Supremacy

[Agame]

I believe they've given us the answer to world peace

didnt they hype this up a few years ago also.
with that said I wish they would bring back the manual catch under the controls option (i believe they had that feature during the ps2 versions). give the user the option of having 100% control of a receiver or db. I hate the fact that I have to push a button to activate the manual catch.

no they didnt -as far as what. say better "db/wr interaction". if so you are clearly mistaken. within the last few years they stated this.

Not trying to "come at you" but if that poster does provide proof, then what? I'm commenting because this plays out quite a bit around OS with this challenge of sorts being offered, with no consequence to the challenger. For example if that poster doesn't prove it, they're likely labeled some kind of ***** picking on po' Madden, yet if they do provide proof, crickets and the challenger gets off scott free, not labeled at all.

That said I guess I'm getting to be easily agitated in my older age because stuff that used to not bother me much, even on the internet, does now at times and I sometimes feel compelled to comment. Pay no attention to this frustrated old man, he hasn't had a football to enjoy much in a decade.

I have a feeling we will be seeing similar jostling tech that is in FIFA, maybe tied to the R-stick or something. Hand-fighting, grabbing, pushing, pulling, boxing out....this would go a LONG ways in terms of gameplay improvements. IF it is implemented correctly of course. How many times have they said "QB accuracy will matter this year" but then we play the game and it is more or less the same? Last year's D-line improvements led to an insane amount of sacks.

Maybe if WR/DB interaction is improved we will finally see things like pass-interference or defensive holding, and have it attached to a trait or skill. Brandon Browner straight manhandling people every play, while a guy like Richard Sherman can much more effectively disrupt the WR.

And please implement this to the LBs and not just CBs/DBs. Linebacker coverage in this game is already pretty poor, the improvement needs to be seen across the board. We still don't even have the ability to press or jam the TE unless you do it manually.

I am optimistic for this year's game. Pass coverage has been my biggest complaint for years. While nothing in the past should give me any reason, I think the slider settings will also be overhauled. An overhaul to the WR/DB interactions could be the biggest difference gameplay-wise we have seen in awhile, due to the fact at least every other position group AI has been touched at least a little bit since Madden 06 came out. I just have to believe with this gameplay change coming, EA will finally have to adjust how the pass coverage sliders are working, we know in the past they have been either mislabeled, reversed, or have little to no impact. I need sliders to make the game play how I want, the ones that have been in EA football games are pathetic compared to literally every other sports game. Let's hope a potentially huge gameplay change forces this issue to finally be addressed. Wishful thinking.

What??? How is he "challenging" anybody? He is asking for proof for saying EA hyped up better wr/db interaction in the past.
