Madden NFL 16 Video - Tennessee Titans vs. New York Giants

Poor clock management by the CPU just before the end of the half. Titans had 1 timeout remaining, about 3 seconds left on the clock and they lineup to take a FG attempt with the clock still running. They still made the FG because the special teams unit is already in place the exact moment the team breaks the huddle.

This is a huge legacy issue in Madden that really just kills any immersion when it comes to clock management throughout the game, especially for those of us who like to play long quarters. It's just another example of sim-minded players having to "pretend" that the CPU performed certain acts throughout the game in order to keep a sense of realism; in this case we pretend that Tennessee called the TO.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Video - Tennessee Titans vs. New York Giants

A few quick thoughts:

The highlight for me was seeing the CPU Mariota take off and run...it was great to see that. Also was nice to see the bad passes from Eli.

Biggest complaints right now:
The run game looks pretty ineffective...not just this video, but most of them that I've watched. Also, the d-line seems unable to generate much pressure on the QB (also true for the other videos).

I'm thinking those issues can probably be tuned with sliders, but it is disappointing. Overall, I am fairly pleased with what I've seen. Not perfect, but definitely moving in the right direction.

Game looks improved over last year but I'm still waiting on "living worlds" I mean even FIFA has the camera men follow the action. In Madden they always seem to point in a fixed direction.

It's just something that has really bothered me with this so called "shared tech" being able to use in different games.

I watched about seven minutes, the guy playing was too annoying for me to watch the full video.

After watching this video Madden 16 definitely has my attention. I saw some very positive things from the QB AI and overall CPU offensive attack. Special teams play along with the rushing attack left me uninspired. I will wait to until I get actual stick time before I jump to any major conclusions but I'm cautiously optimistic about the game so far.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Video - Tennessee Titans vs. New York Giants

I have to say: definitely improved over 2015. The running animations look better, the defense looks to be improved, and the presentation looks to have improved as well.

That said I am still not sold on the pass catch controls not being overpowered.

I am curious to see what additional improvements they make between now and go time

Lack of penetration or push from d-line is definitely something I have noticed in a lot of videos. Like you said though, hopefully a slider fix

WR/DB Interactions WOW!!!

Re: Madden NFL 16 Video - Tennessee Titans vs. New York Giants

I wonder what Elis deep ball rating is? Must be terrible.

On top of that the guy was probably leading up and out and didn't always have his feet set or step up into the pocket

yeah, i think those things contributed, but also, was the DB in good position? if so, I WANT to see deep throws out of bounds, as the QB is doing his best to lead the WR, but if coverage looks too good, he's essentially "throwing it away", which happens in the NFL and contributes to more incomplete passes (lower QB comp %), which is something i want. I have a feeling the guy was pressing the stick too much, though. So, i was ok with all the deep out of bounds throws. And/or, the more times u throw deep should lead to DBs playing better coverage deep (especially, if they have higher Intelligence (can't remember the attribute, but play reading ability, something like that)). The more times u throw deep, the more the DB covers deep, the more the WR is covered, the more likely Eli throws it away. The guy playing was missing some TE opportunities. those would have been completed, i would think. i like what i'm seeing so far.

Yeah I noticed that it would flash "Under pressure" or "On the run" when he made a throw without setting his feet.

It would be nice if the "under pressure" modifier was related to a QBs composure trait, or at least that it was made clear that it is.

First play, the commentary says it was a jump ball!!!! Hopefully the commentary gets straighted out before release. Otherwise I am pleased for the most part.
Peace

Game looks good. Commentary sounds bad

Re: Madden NFL 16 Video - Tennessee Titans vs. New York Giants

I didn't know the Titans had one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, absolutely no pressure on Mariota. Mariota was deadly accurate too, a little too accurate. Line play looks really bad, too much patty cake, hopefully they can tune this before release.

At 6:20 the Justin Hunter td shouldn't he be flagged for going to the ground in celebration?
