Madden NFL 16: E3 Hands-On Preview

The Buccs could be a sick team this year as well based on what I'm seeing from the new mechanics

At this point I've seen enough to know I'll have a lot of fun with the game. There may be certain plays that happen more often than norm al but if it's a fun experience then I can live with it. I just hope the CPU AI plays well. Until we get some slider test going we really won't know for sure.

Any new equipment? Or ways to edit equipment?

This is why I'm hoping some other company manages to make a football game that is directed towards those that aren't interested in joystick jockeying and more about coaching and building teams with more statistical realism, but with Madden style graphics so it's still fun to watch the games.

Very early builds, but the game looks the same so far with the exception of the catching triggers now.

Still no gang tackling and pursuit, only one on one tackles. I did notice more stutter on one cut, but that was it. We'll see how heavy the physics are this year since they said the same thing last year.

can't really say defense plays better or blocking until we actually play, sometimes we want to see what we want to see in videos and believe it is better. That is why people always use the word "seem" in their opinions.

I think in one of the blogs released earlier this week they mentioned how QB spy had been improved so it wasn't so easy for the qb to swerve around the spying defender. Has anyone seen what this looks like in one of the videos so far? I'd like to see it in action.

Have anyone been able to see if Team Abbreviations is in Players career file. Its been missing for three years now. Thanks! Also have anyone see any injuries in game while your time with it. Im thinking they had injuries off so they wouldnt give away the new system. Atleast i hope Thats the case.

u sure you're not watching vids from last year?? I am a sim guy and a madden *****, and even I have to admit to seeing gang tackling on nearly every play. This particular aspect of the game looks nothing like 15, imo. I have been very impressed/happy with this aspect of the game from all the vids i've seen so far. Gang tackling def exists in 16. I've seen a few clips with 1 defender engaging the ball carrier, another coming to help, and a 3rd cleaning up the tackle. So, not sure how u missed it, but maybe take a look at some of the vids again.
