I have been playing madden for a long long time. This is the first year I can remember there being a feature that automatically drops you back. I am used to dropping myself back and have been doing so for years. It was always automatic and I would know when to stop dropping back.
Now I haven't had anyone tell me online they think I drop back to far, but I realized after watching this clip how far I am dropping back now. This might explain the issues I have had with my passing game.
