Madden NFL 16 Launches on August 25th - News, Features and Details Arrive in May

[Steve_OS]

The Madden NFL 16 hype train has begun! EA Sports has just announced the game will launch on August 25th. They have scheduled news, features and details to arrive sometime in May.

Last year, EA Sports (along with Amazon and GameStop) provided details on Madden NFL 15 on April 28th, along with a teaser trailer, featuring Luke Kuechly of the Carolina Panthers.. They also kicked off the cover voting on May 8th.

What are you hoping to see and hear about in May?

WR/DB animations
A working penalty system
A working QB system, bad QB's are bad, good Qb's are good. Also, enough of the dink and dunk routine

Much improved QB awareness when a sack is approaching. Throw the ball away or take off.

Better animations.

Realistic movement and locomotion engine.

Re-vamp to animation engine across the board

Player Specific animations similar to NBA 2K

ill tell u what this best NOT be . It best not be just giving us a list of other dates ( june -july) when they plan to really tell us anything like last year . Also dont just do cover vote in may and show us one tiny thing . If thats all they doing , just keep it to themselves. Get tired of how they drag info out so slowly.

I'm hoping to hear that they are passionate about the game they planning to release. You don't have to sell a great product because it will sell itself. Every year we get the "Smoke n Mirrors" approach from EA, and I'm done with it. Just be real and lay the cards out on the table. For once be honest with the people who go out and spend that $65. I just want my football game to emulate what we see on Sunday.

All I want is a deeper, smarter, more engaging franchise mode. I expect slightly improved graphics, and some gameplay tweaks that hopefully improve the overall experience.

Allow us to edit players at any time in Offline CFM. Name, appearance, attributes, everything. NCAA 14 had no problem with it. Customizable draft classes would be awesome.

Better QB play like stated above. Let's see the difference between good and bad QB's that they promised in M15.

Rework the progression/regression system. Players aren't guaranteed to lose all of their speed and strength at a certain age in reality, only in Madden. Progression is still way too fast in most cases.

A better off-season. It's my favorite part of CFM and it feels very vanilla and is over quickly.

More storylines instead of the same handful every season. Rugby player, trick shot kicker video, coach's son, etc... sound familiar?

If we can't edit players or draft classes, please revisit the generator. I've never seen a 4-3 DT over 293lbs. That's ridiculous. Most LT's are under-sized and under-weight. The majority are under 6' 3", when in this upcoming draft there's only like 2 entering the draft listed under 6' 5". Let's have 3-4 OLB's with proper size. Let's NOT have every black player have dreads. We could go on and on here... just let us edit everything. Simple.

How about an All-Madden setting that doesn't give the CPU players physical attribute bonuses? I want the better AI of All-Madden but I don't want my 95 speed WR being mirrored step for step by what's supposed to be an 88 speed CB.

So much more to ask and hope for but that's what comes to mind first for me.

Hopefully they Bring back Custom Draft Classes and the Ability to Edit in Any Mode at Any time.

I'm hoping to see that the actual gameplay graphics have finally caught up with the cutscene graphics. This is next gen, there's no excuse for this to still be an issue. They also need an hardcore simulation mode that includes penalties actually being called in the game, new player models and run animations, time to get rid of that PS3 build and add some new shoes to the game please. Under Armour shoes haven't been changed since they were brought into the game and whatever happened to Adidas and Reebok.

- Revamped, full, and completely working penalty system with actual working sliders

- Improved animation and IE engine(s)

- Improved AI

[Illcat]

The return of classic teams, better AI, add a 1 season mode, allow us full control in franchise and season so we don't have all of these ridiculous time consuming work-arounds, to make rosters mirror the real NFL. I get soooooooo tired of the CPU cuts and signings.

Realistic movement and locomotion engine.

Re-vamp to animation engine across the board

Player Specific animations similar to NBA 2K

This! Along with improved PHYSICS across the board especially after plays. No more players limbs & body parts clipping/morphing through each other. No more players walking right through other player bodies lying on the ground after plays.

No more players arms bending behind their back with the ball still in their hand.

Better running back awareness (RB's fighting for extra yards, looking for creases/holes, more explosiveness, etc..)

Different player specific running styles/ball carrying styles & moves (down hill runners, slashers, etc..) so that not all RB's feel the same

Also improved LIVING WORLDS. Time for the sidelines to be upgraded (player names on jerseys, actual on field accessories, cheerleaders, etc..)

Re: Madden NFL 16 Launches on August 25th - News, Features and Details Arrive in May

i just hope they work on all the stuff thats been broke in the previous yrs since the ps2 days.


fix and get rid of the morphing, fix the sliders so they actually work out box with out having to have some maxed out to get something called or not esp P.I tired of seeing my wr getting mugged out on the field and nothing happens.


i have high hopes but i think this is gonna be another madden with new cover but with same old glitches bugs etc just with something old added in being advertised as a "NEW" feature.
