Let me first say that I have no idea what some of the negative criticisms are for. Keep in mind this is a video game, and seeking perfection in anything in life will not happen. It is what it is. However, as for myself, the last Madden purchase I made was in 03' when Mike Vick graced the cover of 04.' Therefore, in terms of differences for me is huge. I am an NCAA every year buyer but since that series is dead as of right now I transitioned back to Madden. I believe the solution for many of you that are frustrated is to stop buying the game every year. I stopped for over an entire decade, and guess what? I SURVIVED!!!
As far as what this Jayson guy is talking about concerning a pass rush, my AI brought the heat and generated sacks by themselves. Additionally, I was able to sack the quarterback, yes RG3 with a line backer user controlled. Therefore, I think Jayson needs to step his play calling IQ up.
Pros:
You need to know certain schemes about football in order to play this game. Yes some zone, and some man calls appear to be broken, but audibles, and hot routes are your friends. Teams in my opinion felt really different. For example playing New Orleans in an NFC South match up felt very different than playing the Falcons. Playing the Redskins felt different than playing the Saints and Falcons. So I don't know what this Jayson guy is ranting, and salty about.
The element where passing has so many variable is great, I definitely only have a split second to decide what window I want to throw in, high, low, rac catch, etc, before being sacked by the defense.
Running feels right; however, the run animations need to be changed, yes guys run like robots, but turning on a dime, does not come without losing momentum.
I had about 7 penalties called in my game which was with 15 minute quarters, and 15 second play clock after the snap.
The crowd looks amazing and realistic.
You can tell when the momentum has swung in the game. I threw two crucial interceptions with Winston when making drives down the field and paid the price for it by losing a close game to Washington in Washington.
AND GUESS WHAT? I LOST AND DIDN'T FEEL CHEATED (played All Pro) Playing on All Madden is for guys who have mommy and self esteem issues, it ain't that serious.
Cons:
I did experience the huddle penalty glitch twice, and I did not like that.
Yes, there are some issues with WR/DB canned animations that will frustrate at times, but I enjoy the battles and animations that take place.
I would like to see more fluid running, players still appear robotic.
Stats from my game against the Redskins
Winston 66.6 passer rating, 301 yds, 3 TD's and 2 Ints, 26/39
RG3 13/18 for 171 yds, 72% completion 1 TD,
Alfred Morris 23 carries 111 yards 1 TD
Doug Martin 22 carries 58 yards
I also had a user safety at a crucial point in the game. I made costly turnovers and the CPU capitalized on them so I can't cry and complain. That's what happens in real life.
Bucs possession time 33:24, Washington 26:36
Bucs total yards 497, Washington 393
Bus first downs 23, Washington 14
