I believe that is the case with any man coverage in the game is it not?

That's cool.
Everything for the most part for me tells me this will be the best Madden yet and a blast to play. To each their own.

Can look at 2 ways... With max protect you'll probably have more players trying to pass block that have lower ratings (TE and RB) which could cause a hold.

IF the more penalties are striictly hitting OL then yeah that's an issue.

EDIT: I need to read all replies before I reply lol
Basically already stated what I stated.

I know he's banned but this is what kills me. People demand change and scream about it.
We do get some real change for the better (And yes it's a long time coming but that's neither here nor there) and people scream.
Basically some want change as is as long as it's anything other than EA/Madden.

I think tuning of the penalties(if they work) the adding on of the running physics and A.I. in the running game. the wr/db interaction and the new controls for them, also the "get skinny" button will change the way the game play tremendously form madden 15. This would make it a buy me game then you sprinkle on "draft board" better know as the scouting board or whatever and draft kings will get me a player WHO NEVER PLAYS ULTIMATE team into it hopefully, I dont know i am really excited about this madden cause of all the under the hood things that are going on.

i only play connected careers so the lack of improvement there lost me and I don't play ultimate team or any of those "Fantasy mini games" and the improvement there talking about are so minor you probably won't even notice so year just another roster update it seems

And also 2k is the best at mixing the both fine tuning of the game and back of the box features every year 2k is a better game gameplay wise and with better features

That same person would be posting and yelling if they didnt fix penalties this year. Some people here are just so anti EA they cant see any good in what they do. Personally I love the direction they are going in gameplay wise. CFM needs some work but I will give them credit for at least trying new ideas and giving us combine results. Scouting needed a major overhaul, it's not the direction most of us would go in but at least they are trying.

I'm afraid I may not like Madden unless they provide options that make CFM realistic, or at least reasonably realistic. I just don't see that happening after seeing the ShopMaster/Kolbe interview.

Change for the better is a matter of opinion. I like many of the gameplay changes (if they work correctly) because they are more geared towards realism. I strongly dislike the CCM/CFM changes ever since it's conception because of how far it's gone from realistic. Though many people like the CCM/CFM changes.

It's all a matter of opinion and might not have anything to do with being anti-EA for many of us.
