Receivers dropping open passes constantly

Beach ball effect when the ball is tipped in the air

You mean the ball physics? I have noticed a huge difference this year.

No I'm talking about #3 about QB's being different and less accurate than others. What I have found is it truly based on your understanding(timing) of the play and the type of throw you make. If you go into practice and learn the plays I mean really learn it and what the timing and the correct type of throw for that situation, you can plug in any QB. I do it all the time with Rothlisberger, Landry and Grad.

EDIT: I would like to amend my statement. The cpu side of the ball does show there are levels to the QB accurracy.

The good: Just having a fun football game to play online.

The bad: Watching ppl still go for 4th downs all the time, even if they are winning. Ughhhhhhhh...

Side Note: I play online only.

Strange... In the few coach mode games I've played in my temp CLE CFM, both my QBs and those of my opponents have not passed well. All under 70% completion.

To me the game handles great on Xbox 1 this year. Also I have the new Xbox 1 "S" which has a controller that has a updated joystick to be more precise, which is why I feel the game handles way better. On ps4 I feel a lil latency.

Side Note: I'm pretty rough with my controllers when I play, I like to push buttons hard and just do things hard since my hands are big. On ps4 I feel the controller does not give me that control I need. Now last year on M16 I thought it handled better on ps4 but this year I got to give it to Xbox 1.

Worst.

Formation subs are good, but I still can't plug in an HB at WR or vice versa. Skill players should be interchangeable. I don't like that part, they need work. It's like Christian McCaffrey, he comes in to the league he will play WR, HB, and return guy. Why can't I do that in formation subs...?

[BigDaneAyMane]

I think the game is really good so far, but the end-of-game AI still kills me. Spiking the ball in scenarios where they should just be running another play and just the overall lack of awareness of how to manage the clock takes me out of it every time.

I would add to worst they still havent fixed the wind. I was using cleveland with a weak kicker and it was recommended i attempt a 66 yard field goal with a 5 mph breeze at my back. I could have hit it from 75. The wind turns around and your lucky to have the distance from 40.

Love the game but the one small gripe is the icon that appears over the ball carrier I have no idea why that wouldn't be optional. The major problem that madden has is running animation or lack there of. Such a beautiful game and a lot of ugly running animations.

Every Qb throws perfect deep balls 99 percent of the time, so annoying and unrealistic. I would love to see some deep balls thrown too far inside or too far outside making the receiver adjust to it.

For Rams fans, the worst is that in year 2 of franchise, you are forced to move out of the Coliseum and into a generic stadium that has Madden logos all over the place (video, ribbon, video wall, jumbotron) instead of Rams logos.

49er fans had to go through it when it was the last season of candlestick. stop crying

Don't have the game, but those three negatives seem far more impactful than the positives.

Great piece.

Totally agree on more off-target incompletions in general. In four games i've already had two instances where Sam Bradford (definition of an average to below average QB) was 19 for 20 and 17 for 18.
