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

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.

Unfortunately, you know that's exactly what it's going to be. They've got over three months from May to late August to build hype. No way they're gonna blow their wad in one day announcement. Hopefully, they'll at least release an overview of the things they've improved upon, but I'd be shocked if there were any in-depth details.

This same old song and dance every year is getting kind of old.

Meh, unless I hear or see something about a working penalty system, WR/DB interactions, actual realistic QB play, and for the love of God, I know they can't completely overhaul the animations, but at least fine tune them, it looks god awful at times (signature QB throwing animations anyone??)

All this, and the ability to edit within franchise mode and use custom, created draft classes will all weigh on my decision to buy this game. I skipped last year, and will have no qualms about skipping this year if all of this isn't addressed. I'm so sick of the same game every year with the same bugs with a fresh coat of paint.

They need to revamp the defensive playbooks/ie correct the defensive fronts..for years 43 under and over have been off..46 d front needs to be updated..what I mean by this is with over front LB's are not correct along with the correct placement of the linemen..same for under front..also correct 46 d bear is wrong..the SS normally now lines up on in the 9 tech strong side..the weak side LB moves back to where SS use to line up...this is just the beginning

CPU vs. CPU in offline CCM would be nice.

I'd like to see the full extent of animations/interactions no matter the level of difficulty or slider settings. When I was going through the MUT Gauntlet it was painfully obvious that the better interactions occur at the lower difficulty settings (the problem being its difficult to take the Rookie or Pro settings and modify the sliders and make the game difficult, so you have to choose whether to challenge yourself or get more realistic looking gameplay). I want to see improved interactions but I also want them to make sure that the improvements they make are seen across all settings (too often in NCAA and Madden we find out that some of the changes they were touting are actually in the game but rarely experienced because they happen the most consistently at lower difficulty levels that most sim players (the people most likely to be asking for them) wouldn't see them).


Bring back Gameface and/or up the amount of customization for created players/coaches/owners. Have the NFL gear that we see on the sidelines in real life as options for our Coaches and Owners. They come out with 2 new sets a year, I'd be happy with simply having the previous year's sideline looks, much preferable to the Vest (which looks awful if you're a Packers fan like me), the T-Shirt, and the Suit (would like to see other suit options as well, but coaches aren't allowed to wear them anymore so its not that big of a deal), the Polo is the only option that doesn't look like garbage and even that is stale looking.

Allow for Players in CFM to be able to get to a point where they hold some sway with the organization. If I'm a Franchise QB I should be able to tell them that a certain WR, RB, or OL should be an offseason priority, like in real life, when Rodgers made it clear that he wanted James Jones back following the SB (despite his tendency to drop passes (such as the one that would have put the SB away early in the 2nd half) this trait may have cost him a new contract but instead Rodgers showed confidence in him and he got an extension, and he became a much more reliable target over the course of that extension. This could also become a factor for Coaches/Owners, where the Franchise QB may say "re-sign or target this guy" and if you ignore them it could come into play when you negotiate their next contract. I'd also like to see the contract figures matter for when we do a CFM as a player but I have no idea how to do this (NBA 2K tried tying it to advancement, but that was not handled well IMO).

Would love to see a creation suite as well, a la Teambuilder (but with more fonts), and for them to actually nail down older uniforms. I'd love to dump the Falcons current uniforms and go full time to throwbacks, but they only have their home jerseys, no away jerseys, and this is the case for most teams, Madden used to include both the home and away versions of the throwbacks but now its just the homes). Kerning on every number in the 11-19 range is off, and some teams have issues for all double-digit numbers. Its cool that they have longer sleeves, but the stripes are pretty much always off with them (sometimes not even appearing on them), and the sleeve physics are off. Also they need to go back and re-do quite a few jerseys, because quite a few teams have the wrong size numbers on just their home or away (49ers, Browns), so one jersey looks right but the other doesn't, the Eagle on the side of the new Eagles jerseys is either a different size or placed differently on all 3 jerseys (I mean do they have someone working on each jersey and that's why they aren't all the exact same aside from colors).

I just want regular old Franchise mode back! Not CCM or whatever they call it now days? I dont want to play as a coach, a player or whatever! Just Franchise mode and bring back all the old stuff and add new stuff for franchise mode. Better menus and interface will go a long way to make the game feel fresh and inviting! I dont care about the rest of the game but if they could at least make it so we could watch our team play and it be somewhat sim with a tv style presentation that would be nice!

Please please add Community mode back or Online team play i wana play with friends 1v1 is boring

[jerwoods]

i expect ps3 and 360 to just be a roster update and that it

we will never be able to edit draft classes because there are some roster makers so good that they can edit the 300 guys perfect that there would be no reason to buy the game every year

the ps4 xbox1 guys should get more tats betting lighting more classic players better man to man D more QB sounds at the line maybe NFL films music in ccm mode maybe a better draft presentation in ccm mode

With expectations contained, I'll keep it brief:

Presentation - further move towards realistic broadcasts that change with Mon, Thr, and Sun games. Also, love to see a different atmosphere for playoff games and Super Bowl.

Presentation - further improved sideline players, camera men, coaches, etc

Connected Franchise Mode - I'm not sure if I can describe it well, but I need the mode to have more immersion and personality. I like it, but it needs more life, stories, etc.

How about a game that doesn't lock up on franchise mode if you check team stats..... REALLY liked Madden 15 (best Madden since PS2 days) but can't tell you the number of times the game locked up on me in the 4th quarter or at the end of the game. Contacted EA and received very little assistance. NO EXCUSE for this problem. Also, the franchise mode is no fun. There are so many things that you could do on the PS2 that you cannot on the next gen systems. Will not be buying Madden and waiting for something else. I don't need the NFL brand if the game is fun. Hope the images about a Joe Montana game are for real.

Sports games I would love to have for next gen: 1. College Basketball 2. Arena Football 3. College Baseball

More tats is up to the players. They need a release form from the artist to be included in the game. That's how Kap got his in the game last year.

Hopefully they live up the hype. Every year they hype it up but never live up to it haha. Anyways I'm excited!

[swiftychampleone]

Straight and simple: 32 team control. What's so hard about that? I'm trying to buy my first Madden in 9 years here! :-)
