Madden 16 Pre-release Impressions Thread

My only issue: On All-Pro, Mariotta completed 90% of his passes against me.

well, its not just the sack number but the lack of pass rush as a whole. like i get no pressure at all

He only completed 51% against me on All pro. But ran on me like crazy!!

I played the jags just to see qb accuracy. Bortles threw every pass on the mark. All madden level. The pass was either caught, deflected or intercepted. Is every cpu qb like this on all madden? He has yet to make a bad throw.

The play action just looks so much better this year to me. I've also seen ups and downs with QB passing %. Liking it a lot so far, obviously needs some tuning but graphics and presentation have been amazing so far.

Already found a juke glitch, i juked out 4 guys with McCoy for a 90 yard td

other than that, this game relies on stick skills, the new catching animation is not over-powered, you need good stick skills to knock the ball lose by hit stick, i played 3 games already and I knocked out at least 6 balls when my opp was trying to aggressive catch me, other than that I love this game!!!!!!

Ok, just played my first game. I'll preface this by saying I've been playing Madden since Madden 93 on Super Nintendo. Every year. I don't, hoever, generally get into the things that most users here do...I'm not concerned if an animation is a little wonky, or if sim stats aren't perfect, or any of that stuff. But I do look for fun, and I play 100% SIM. I like to play like my 49ers do. If I throw 400 yards and put up 50 points, I hate it because thats not what the 49ers do, regardless of head coach. All I can base my impressions on is if the game is fun. So, is it?

A resounding Hell yes.

6 min qtrs due to the EA Access limit (normally I play 15), default all pro default sliders. Chiefs (cpu) & 49ers (me).

Opening kickoff, they get called for illegal block in the back! Later in the drive, they get defensive holding. By the end of the game, I saw 5 penalties against me, 4 for them.

I onlyhad 1 sack, which made me squeal like a little girl. Is pass rush non existent? I have no idea, could be my team as it's well documented how stripped of players we are. I can say that I would have had 3, but Alex Smith was moving around the pocket & evading. Again with the squealing.

I threw 3 picks because I don't know the controls. Gang tackling is amazing. You know how the last few years everyone has been saying "you gotta play it to feel it!"...thats been a lie with M25 & M15. Not so with 16...I felt a difference on the very first play.

The lighting!! Oh my gosh, 1pm @ Levis was gorgeous!

49ers helmets are the right color!

My opinion may not mean as much as others, because you won't find me doing in depth stat tests, or throwing to Sherman 50 times in a row to see what happens. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's not my style. Madden 16 is FUN, it's gorgeous, and looks more like football than any version before it. I have never been more excited to play, and these 10 hours will go by fast.

It's fun...I hope everyone tries to find the fun amidst all of the tests. My hats off to the gameplay guys. Rex -- you're my MVP.

Now, back to the game...

Still waiting for a legitimate gang tackle. They haven't really hyped gang tackling that much, but said it was in the game and very good...It isn't very good and very hard to even notice. Most is one on one tackling as ddefenders do not pursue
