Madden NFL 16: Other Gameplay Improvements Worth Noting


Outside of the new defensive, QB, and WR mechanics, Madden NFL 16 also has a few other big changes coming to this year's game.

Here are some of the additional improvements you'll find in this year's game:
  • A new 'get skinny' (Hold RB) when running through the line for running backs.
  • New context sensitive cut step jukes, performed behind the LOS to cut of blocks.
  • Overhauled ball carrier logic with new 'hit the hole' logic in place.
  • Tweaks to locomotion and True Step.
  • Tweaks to contextual awareness with several new animations and much tighter registration with other players.
  • New extra point rules are in. Players now can kick the PAT from the 15 or attempt to go for the two-point conversion from the two. Also the defensive scoring on PATs is included, as is the option to change your choice in the event of a penalty.

What do you think of the running game improvements as well as the new PAT rules finding their way into this year's game?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the "get skinny" feature in past Madden games?

There's a lot we want from past Madden games.
If they can get the things we liked from past Maddens in.. then cool/finally.

These improvements are huge & I'm surprised EA isn't advertising them more. Hopefully this means they eliminated the RB's getting stuck in mud behind their lineman & RB's arms bending behind their backs with the ball stuck in their hand.

I'm surprised they mentioned as much about gang tackling as they did in the blogs. Rex told us they weren't going to say much about it because there are certain things that are part of football and we don't have to market them, people should just expect to see them and we need to get them in. These things are probably part of that equation in his mind. I don't believe I saw HB's arms getting stuck or bending behind their backs with the ball in hand like in M15.

Trailers and E3 stuff is marketing in my mind, but I think of the blogs as simply information dissemination to message board types. I know that I definitely want to read about every single tweak/improvement/rewriting of all aspects of gameplay and A.I. no matter how small.

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

We've never had the ability to queue up the "Get skinny" by a button press.
It was an automatic thing. Didn't really work all that well but was "ok"

Edit: Post was deleted. Moving on.
