I thought the touch pass feature was in last year

Re: Madden NFL 16 Video - Madden Mondays: Air Supremacy QB

Tap for lob, hold for bullet, and double tap for touch?

Wait what? Are they really saying this is a feature now? I was tapping for lob passes and holding for bullet passes 15 years ago and another game had the in the middle type ( or normal ) of pass too way back when. Ugh. Just the thought of that makes me want to vomit.

The QB animations still need work.. Who do they mocap for those? I still think the PS2 Maddens have a better QB animations especially the follow through. That is cringe worthy on the new games.

Edit : The catch where TY jumps in the airs and falls on his back looks incomplete to me! Looks like he lands OB at the same time. haha

Also good to see a diving catch.

I agree ps2 madden actually had good QB animations.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Video - Madden Mondays: Air Supremacy QB

so TY Hilton is considered a tall receiver now.......

That's not what they meant.

And TY Hilton caught all sorts of jump balls last year. Not because of height obviously, the man can jump and he has great positioning.

I just hope this touch pass will help eliminate the unrealistic number of passes knocked down by LB's...

I am so tired of seeing the LB just stand there and stick a hand out to knock a pass down...

Im with everyone on the QB animations. Worst animations in the game. Yes they added some new ones but the QB animations and movement overall needs to be completely redone.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Video - Madden Mondays: Air Supremacy QB

The touch pass better be redone because it didnt work. The pass was so slow a LB would get upfield to knock it down or INT.

Great in practice but was simply too risky to use.

I dont think theirs even any expert guides on using it.

Double tap will make it easier to know its that throw type though

This actually looks pretty good.

I agree, but also disagree at the same time. The defensive movement I think is a tie for the worst in the game. The way DB's and safeties move around is just disgusting at times. That's why I really wanted them to implement some form of true step on defense as well. The plays I see some DB's and safeties make on balls is just UGH. To see you're WR run a route, and have a DB undercut him or make a play on a ball he had no business being near is just BAD.

I'm sure Tiburon really wants to fix this, I just hope they get to it sooner or later.

I like how the LB swats at one of the balls as it goes by his head. Good player awareness on display there.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Video - Madden Mondays: Air Supremacy QB

The catch animations looked nice, although the lighting still looks bad to me.

I just hope the emphasis on air supremacy doesn't produce another year of extremely unrealistic default completion percentages. I got tired of the 75-85% rates real fast last year.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Video - Madden Mondays: Air Supremacy QB

I just really hope that the offense isn't overpowered this year.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Video - Madden Mondays: Air Supremacy QB

Looks really good but why are the qb animations still not smooth? That's one area they've neglected for years. It took how long for them to finally have the QB plant his back foot on his drop instead just peddling backward? Not every QB has a death grip with 2 hands in the ball either. The game looks beautiful but the QB motions still need work.

We also need more unique cadances, it doesn't seem like it'd be so hard to pull some audio from a QB and put it in the game, I mean QBs use their voice virtually every play, unless there's a silent snap and no audibles or something like that.
