That gif looks awful. Three missed tackles on a RB running completely upright and making no moves whatsoever. He didn't even have any momentum for the last two missed tackles they just bounced off him like he was Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson lol.

Nice illegal blocking in the back though!

Did they call it?

Not sure, but so far it looks like you really don't want to test good CBs all that often, which I like a lot and we see that in RL.

Totally agree, but if its the same animation every time..And a guaranteed pick by the defense..? I like the fact the ball is popped out of the hands, but not if its interceptable all the time...

Yeah. I think they called it on Antonio Brown.

Totally agree, but not of it is a guaranteed pick every time. I hope the ball can be slapped out in more variations then just poppin up in the air and getting picked all the time

I think Pasta Padre had some good breakdowns on some E3 Madden 16 footage also. Valid points, hopefuly Rex can still pick up on it.

Yeah Brown got called on it.

LOL @ Nance saying "Gar-AHHHH-Palo". Play by Play really needs some work. To many things are said that you just don't hear when watching a real game......things like "....And he starts his return".

Visually some things look really good to me. I am excited about where the development team is trying to steer this game.

Also, let's keep in mind the context around a lot of these videos. I'm sure the players have spent time with the game beyond the E3 context, but these receiver mechanics seem to take some time to get used to. It seems like if you use the wrong one in the wrong situation, you'll get certain repeatable results, like what we're seeing here. Obviously the guys playing are testing aggressive catch a lot--hopefully the offset to that is what we are seeing in these videos.

Re: More Madden NFL 16 Gameplay Videos

pretty sure the animations on PS2 were better

PS2-era Madden was their best years ...

Beside Brown just standing their I didn't like that slight pause on that first broken tackle. These are things that make this game look so robotic when in motion.

Wait...if there wasn't a slight pause there -- to gather himself -- isn't that the type of stuff we all slam Madden for?

Re: More Madden NFL 16 Gameplay Videos

Cant lie. I am loving this gameplay so far. Loved how the ball was popped up and intercepted at 3:08

The cool thing to me about that play was, he had a receiver running in the left flat -- wide open -- and since he chose to throw into heavy traffic, he paid for it. The animations in that pass break-up and the tip drill was very convincing.

I like the newer commentary that they added this year, commentary that happens between drives, some of the team/player specific lines, it's the older stuff that really hurts the quality of the commentary. A big issue though is they always have a hard time getting Nantz and Simms in the studio at the same time. If they change commentary anytime soon hopefully they will find some talent that can get to the studio at the same time, frequently.

One thing that is still gon a bother me is when I'm in year 2 of a CFM and the announcers still talk about Jameis as if it's his rookie year. Really any qb for that matter the lines are always made for play now games.

All I want to know is can you do a Draft Champions with friends? Or is it only randoms online?
