    Re: Madden NFL 16 Community Impressions

    The game is great my favorite madden yet(should be) my games have been great love the catch battles it really helps to eliminate roboQB. Only issues I've had are two. Lack of penalties the sliders are still default so i guess i could change this. The other is lack of dropped balls. I guess the CPU can't determine a drop from a good def play. Oh well overall I'm very satisfied great job EA.

      Has it seemed to anyone else that the crowd is much worse than last year? I was in the AFC Championship game, and it sounded like I was playing in a preseason game.

        This game has its issues, but when it's good, it's f***ing great!

        Ran a wheel route with CJ Anderson vs the Lions for a 68 yard TD. Coverage was man and looked decent, but 75spd Brandon Spikes was the man covering. CJ blew by him after about 15-20 yards and caught in in stride with the RAC button. That was just one beautiful moment.

        The best feeling in this game is seeing real football when it does happen: Stafford missing an open man on a crucial 3rd down and seeing your D sprint off the field and celebrate, Manning dropping one in over a LB, inexperienced Chase Daniel going toe-to-toe with Manning then throwing a pick to seal the loss after a great personal game (we won 19-17 and he finished 13/21 211 1TD 1INT), an RB actually fighting for yards in a scrum and occasionally breaking free, getting PI called on a 1-on-1 jump ball...

          The gameplay is fantastic. From smooth animation transitions to the new catching and throw mechanics, it plays a great game on the field.

          Pending the CFM patch, this game can be great overall. All they need are some OL/DL improvements (as far as techniques, protections and schemes) and improvement upon the DB interactions - these aren't bad to begin with though. Pulling for Joe Thomas on the cover of Madden 17!!!!

          The game modes are fun also, draft champions is a welcome addition.


          I was skeptical of this dev team at first - they were just spouting the same fluff that we've been hearing for the last decade with no substance to back it up.

          But these guys not only have created a great football game, they are on the verge of a great game covering all genres!

            Can we fix the terribly laggy play call menus? FFS. It takes too long to go from formation to formation, I'm sick of accidentally hitting X on a play because I'm trying to skip the replay or cutscene, and it really shows it's ugliness if you're in a hurry in the last minute of a game (trailing).

              I just played a game with friend of mine. We have played 6 games so far including this one. First 5 were great games. Really played well.

              This game...after the tuner and this latest patch...we threw a combined 11 picks.

              We play all madden against each other.

              Defenders did not swat the ball all game. It was either catch or pick.

              Very awful game that I hope was just a fluke.

                Started noticing the same thing after the patch. Defenders where just letting WRs catch the ball unless you did it manually, but the problem with that is sometimes they switch you a defender that's not in position to make a play. Also cpu controlled safeties just not doing their jobs

                  Soo tired of these suction tackles from defenders who had no business making the play. On top of that people are running into my recievers and not getting called for PI and intercepting the pass at times too.

                  Also everyone runs zone cover and stops EVERYTHING even the run gm more than t should, manually controlled players morphing thru others to make tackles behind the backfield...

                  Im good, another madden taken back in less than a month. No matter what i do amd the tips i get, you only win online is if you cheese the same 3-4 plays that work when u need them.

                  Thanks but ill sit out another yr, tired pf players covering another player underneath goes and makes the play that was behind them with great success. Cheese wins once again.

                    Re: Madden NFL 16 Community Impressions

                    I sure wish these great Madden graphics could be incorporated into some of my favorite text football games (Second And Ten, Action PC, even the arcade-like Strat-O-Matic). Why can't they do that? Is there just no demand?

                    Anyway, the game has shown some improvements, particularly in the passing game, but nothing that really wows me. As I said before the running game is almost inert, and the blocking and shedding of blocks doesn't really work or look very good. The needle has moved up a bit, but it's still Madden.

                      Downloaded the patch and I've made and seen more picks than the 2 weeks before the patch.

                        Game looks great, plays good but with all the bugs pretty unplayable. Huge Disappointment!

                          As usual, everyone says its the best Madden ever the first week, then everone
                          says its a disappointment after that as the warts begin to show and the 1st patch makes the game worse.

                          Happens every year. Which is why I no longer buy this game at launch.

                              No you were just the one of the few that dont have the game or played the game but decided to tell us your thoughts on the game and left after it was getting great praise

                              You hung around without posting because it would make you stand out as a ***** against the overwhelming positive impressions. So a few people claim the patch did this and tuner did that and you woke up today with that itchy trigger to type this post up and try and tell us the same rinse and repeat nonsense that is stated the first week of every madden by haters who do not even own or played the game

                                This game has a lot of flaws from the standpoint of mimicking real football of course, but it is my favorite football game ever, from a gameplay perspective, and easily the best Madden ever, IMO.

                                Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.
