You Would Be Disappointed In Madden 16 If....?

If I recall correctly, MUT revenues for EA have increased very close to 100% year-over-year the past two years. So yeah, not going anywhere, for better or worse.

The approach I'm taking to it is that I hope they add things to it which might compel me to play the mode if it's going to be effectively half of the Madden experience going forward, as it has been for the past couple of years.

The things I'm really hoping for:

1. Improved CPU playcalling
2. Improved CPU team management in franchise mode
3. Improved QB AI for CPU teams.
4. Deeper franchise mode...or at least much better presentation for franchise, both in game and out of game.
5. Make ratings matter more/have a wider separation between the best and worst players. eg, Playing against Tom Brady should be infinitely more challenging than playing against Blake Bortles.
6. Realistic sim stats for franchise mode.
7. Improved physics

There's probably more. I didn't buy Madden last year and returned the previous one after a week... but if they can get at least a few of these right, then I will likely give it a go this year.

The engine is fine but I just want to see EA improve on it and for it to run smoother

"yes"

I would be disappointed if M16 didn't rectify the issue of players not reacting to controller moves because they are stuck in an animation....

A very glaring issue is when trying to user catch passes and throwing a pass before you have moved the left analog stick to take the player out of control of their animation sequence.

^^^^^^ that right there is why we won't have smooth animations. Cause people want to completely disregard physics to pull off joy stick moves simultaneously. Not bashing you specifically but animations such as a full blown juke shouldn't be allowed to be changed mid juke. The best controls were back when NCAA 09 had the left stick "shimmy" and the right stick jukes. That's when it should be allowed to get out of an animation, when the physics enable you to. If it's a little stutter step it's fine to have full control (to the limit of that players ratings) and be able to bait a guy right and then burst left for example. In madden now I can't even run properly with or without turbo

[IndyColts2]

The thing with the "wide open gameplay" was that defenders weren't able to use the same cutting and turning mechanics as the ball carrier. And there also isn't a way to arm tackle/wrap up. Madden needs to change the way players run FIRST and then fix everything else. Players still skate around the field and cover 20 yards worth of it with 4 steps too

I mostly hope.
1. Confidence is fixed.
2. Owner mode is fixed.
3. Regression is fixed.
4. WRs actually try.

I would also really like to see xp go away...but that will never happen.
