    What has been fixed in madden 16 gameplay wise?

    Have not found much so was wondering what people have heard or know of. Would be nice if things like being able to challenge different things and have options of what to challenge, Qb accuracy percentage has dropped, assist tackles and pancake blocks are in or if height and weight finally matter one bit.

    Height already matters. I can make jump ball type throws to a 6'6" receiver that I could never make to a 6' receiver.

    I highly doubt there will be challenge options. That has never been in Madden for some reason. I just hope the game doesn't automatically challenge for you anymore, costing you timeouts on challenges you never wanted to make in the first place.

    I want to see the "cover ball" button actually work this year. I lost a countless amount of fumbles while holding the "cover ball" button. Not sure what it's actually good for if it doesn't actually give you better ball protection.

        Yeah I don't know what OP is talking about with automatic challenge costing timeouts? The "challenges" were booth reviews and didn't affect your timeout situation.

          From what I have read:

          WR/DB interaction

          Working Penalties

          Better sideline awareness

          Better AI QB play and pocket awareness.

          Better tackling

            I just hope the offline franchise mode works/doesn't freeze.

              Will we be able to run outside this year? And will the quick cutbacks be back? They have been missing for a few years now. I haven't seen either one of these things on any of the posted videos. Just wondering.

                If all or most of those are true, it will be worth getting this years.

                Madden get rid of the extras (SS/XF, HFA, media, scenarios, game plan) or turn them down considerably.

                  Receivers not running out of bounds after a out or flat route, is the biggest improvement I'm looking forward too. It's due to the RAC catch animation.

                    Has this been confirmed fixed for CPU AI though?

                      Can't say for sure. Would have to specifically look for that in gameplay videos.

                      That's a concern for all 3 of the WR trigger animations really.

                      EDIT: I just saw two videos were the Receiver did face the QB on an out route. Hard to say if that was due to the throw or WR animation though. Hopefully someone that played can answer.

                        No one knows yet because no one has played the game for an extensive amount of time.

                          i definitely had several instances of the cpu challenging the play for me... usually on catches out of bounds... super frustrating...

                            It's definitely going to be more challenging this year going up against the CPU. In the 6-7 videos I've watched from this year USER VS CPU, I can tell the CPU:

                            - Does a MUCH better job of staying in bounds along the sideline. They cut up field with much more urgency to get yards
                            - Does a better job of stuffing the inside run (HB Trap doesn't seem as OP)
                            - Does a better job sensing pressure/taking off and scrambling for yards

                            Those 3 things will make for a more competitive CFM.

                            The big things I want to know are:
                            - Is the CPU still overly accurate? Or will we see a fair amount of mis fires?
                            - Is the CPU able to get the ball down field or will we see dink and dunk again this year?

                              I'm confused. There isn't an ability to challenge a play?
