Madden NFL 16 Tuning Update Arrives, Tunes Risk/Reward Factor in WR/DB Interaction

[redsfan4life]

Hit the practice field for about 20 minutes throwing mostly streak routes. Here's what I found.

1 on 1 not much has changed. If you have an elite WR 1 on 1 he's going to win a good deal of those jump balls.

Man 2 under works pretty great vs these streak routes however. The safeties do a great job of breaking on the ball. In my 20 minute session once I switched the D to 2 man under I saw a significant drop in success rate on the deep balls. I would say the D was winning 90% of them. So I think it will go back to your ability to read the defense, and find your matchups to attack. That's football to me.

Thank god I made a note on my phone about to beat all the zone coverages in the game...

My only problem with this is that the AI is really dumb when calling plays. So it is too easy to find the 1-1 player. Many 1-1 on 3 and long.

Aggressive catch was not OP on All Madden. I was at about 25% on my attempts before the update. So now are they going to be virtually impossible on All Madden now?

Did you test with deep zones too (3,4,6)?

If anything I'll just adjustment the corner to man. I like to scheme with zone blitz.

So u must like madden 15 better because if u ever threw it deep one on one or zone it would get intercepted the majority of the time

That's what I'm worried about. All Madden played perfect before this update (hopefully it still does)

No..I don't anticipate it changing a whole lot though. The AI safeties were doing a fantastic job of positioning themselves between the ball and the receiver. I was pretty impressed with it.
