Madden NFL 16: Other Gameplay Improvements Worth Noting

It would be nice if this stuff actually works! I hope the running animation is better than last years and I need to see actual game play before I can judge.

I like the sound of context sensitive cut step jukes, triggered by the LS. One of the most frustrating things about Madden 15 is how difficult it is to perform a simple small cut juke. Hopefully this mechanic resolves that issue. But I don't like that we have to press a button to get skinny, backs should automatically attempt to get skinny just like they should automatically attempt to get low when they hit holes. I don't have want to have to worry about pulling off a simple skinny move. Madden is way too command heavy, a lot of things should just happen without us telling the game to do it.

I've been asking for the L1 R1 quick cuts from the ps2 days since they were removed so this makes me happy.

Yes get skinny was a auto feature on ps2, hell even ps1. I won't be critical, glad to see it back.

Yea, EA adding things back to Madden that should have never been taking out.

Re: Madden NFL 16: Other Gameplay Improvements Worth Noting

Alright, enough about the whole EA adding things that used to be in the game. We get it, it rubs people the wrong way. But its not constructive and not on-topic. So let it go. Only warning.

madden has never had a button to "get skinny" so you guys complaining about it being recycled is a rather humorous reach to criticize something that's a real positive addition for the madden community

You obviously never played old Gen madden. And I wasn't complaining. Just stating a fact.

I have played every Madden and everyone who has knows there's never been a button for getting skinny. And you are complaining and even worse you don't know what you're talking about in your complaint.

Never said anything about it being a button press feature. I clearly said it was a auto mechanic in old Gen madden(ps2/ps1).

• A new 'get skinny' (Hold RB) when running through the line for running backs.
• New context sensitive cut step jukes, performed behind the LOS to cut of blocks.
• Overhauled ball carrier logic with new 'hit the hole' logic in place.

What do you think of the running game improvements as well as the new PAT rules finding their way into this year's game?

From a coach mode player this is exciting to see. Too many times on outside runs you see the HB just follow the diagram when cutting up inside his blocker would net positive gains.

Looks like some good additions.

Running backs in general need more moves in the open field. In '15 I used L2(decelerate) behind the LOS it helped a ton making it through holes. 15 also had a contextual juke that was absolutely horribly slow and useless, I hope it is improved.

GIVE US BACK QUICK JUKE!!!

I miss the days of tapping L1/R1 for quick juke and pressing them for a longer juke.

• Overhauled ball carrier logic with new 'hit the hole' logic in place.
• Tweaks to locomotion and True Step.
• Tweaks to contextual awareness with several new animations and much tighter registration with other players.
• New extra point rules are in. Players now can kick the PAT from the 15 or attempt to go for the two-point conversion from the two. Also the defensive scoring on PATs is included, as is the option to change your choice in the event of a penalty.

Hopefully these quick jukes solve my woes. It frustrating seeing a cut back lane, then doing the stop juke and the hole is closed.
