I'm getting a flag on every single RPO Peek pass. It's either OPI or Illegal Man Downfield. What am I doing incorrectly?

The ratings system in Madden 20 is receiving a full overhaul! The difference between how an 89 overall player and a 90 overall player is going to be much more pronounced than ever before. EA Sports is claiming that in Madden 20, you will see some starters with overall ratings in the 50s. For reference, in previous years it was incredibly hard to find any player, even third stringers or practice squad members, that had ratings below 60 overall. This news likely means that there will be a lot fewer NFL players that are rated in the 90s. That kind of ranking will now be reserved for the truly elite players. So when you fire up Madden 20 for the first time on August 2nd, don’t overreact. Just because a player who used to be a 75 overall is now a 55 overall doesn’t mean that he got significantly worse in the offseason. It just means that EA Sports has adjusted the ratings scale so that everyone isn’t bunched up between 70-99.

Yes but those will be generated players because the real players will be complaining to EA if they are rated in the 50's lol.

My M20 impression is - the game is awesome. Continue making it real football. People need to learn to adjust & avoid major threats. It should be the responsibility of the player to avoid errors and threats; The devs should not make a game easier so some people can play lazy.

Played 3 franchise games so far with the colts. Settings were all pro sim.

First the feel of the players is great without using turbo you already feel loose with agile players and mix in timely turbo and juke moves you feel more in control then ever. Playing against the chargers first game Joey Bosa was an absolute monster as he should be . Pass rush has been a hot topic because it’s different from what we are used to THERES ACTUALLY A PASS RUSH . I had to adjust for him which is what i want from playing the cpu. I would shift the line use a rb and or TE to block him which helped to slow him down .

Running game is best It’s felt so far this can not be recognized Enough. Downfield blocking is fixed!! Countless times in madden I would have open space at times if my Wr or lineman would have picked up another block . Here so far players look for more blocks after their initial Blocks FINALLY.

RPOs are fun still getting used to them but don’t seem op at all yet as you cannot hot route on the play and you have to make a decision quick or you will lose yards or take a penalty for blocking downfield . No Referees on field for beta .

Sound of stadiums are improved you can hear PA announcer announcing score and recent catch or tackle by players which is nice . New Commentary lines and hopefully will include more within lines of what’s going in your franchise . Menus are consolidated again but remain mostly the same . The secaniro engine seems to only kick in more playing as a HC rather then an owner. One scenario was my Dc saying that the falcons have the number one scoring offense in the league and Then proceeded to give me 3 prompts to choose from in response and gave a me essentially a drive goal to hit.

So far gameplay has me excited and can’t wait to dive in again. Franchise mostly unchanged is disappointing but If gameplay does not get patched to hell I will be playing this for a long time .

You have to throw the ball quickly or run the ball or you will get penalized. Play is designed for a quick read .

People are complaining about rush being overpowered...you can avoid at times, adjust blocking, play calls, and sometimes the rusher just misses you and falls down etc, as in real life. Adjust! Love stepping up in pocket, and also love it watching a pocket fall apart.

There's nothing like finally being able to drop a pass over a linebackers head and not wondering if they'll do the superman leap to pick it off

PAssing is so much more rewarding now. and in fact, making an interception as a user is more rewarding because there is more strategy and work required.
