Defense in Madden NFL 17 will have a Defensive Gap control system that makes defending the run more engaging and authentic.

Really wish they'd take that text off the screen lol

What is the pulling right tackle doing? Basically angling out and away from Kuechly? Looked weird imo
Edit: watched it again and can't really see why he'd run so wide, the play is to short side of the field and there is a WR blocking the lone CB on that side, only Kuechly was a threat. I reckon we'll add this to the growing list of "it's on rookie level" explanations

Guard pulled way to deep allowing for Luke to make that easy play. Hopefully that gets fixed.

They teach the guard to pull as close to the line as possible and pick up first man. Hopefully its a difficulty setting/early build issue.

2 big problems. #71... don't even have to say much on that, you can all see it. Reminds me of this:



It's something how the linemen just run past obvious blocks.

And 2, that outrageous blow-up tackle still in the game that you could nail 90% of the time if you wanted to. Why can't they make full body contact and bring a player down with a real tackle more frequently? Why is that such a bad thing to them? Everything shouldn't be a highlight reel hit.

Better defensive AI = Wose offensive AI. Can never seem to find the balance.

Yes, this video was a complete fail. He may not respond, but I had to tweet it to Clint, and let him know how bad it made the oline look. There are mistakes, and then there is legacy garbage Madden A.I. This seems like the latter.
