Thanks Chase, makes me feel marginally better.

Steve is not known for his football reads. He's known for his social media skills and all-around sex appeal.

He should consider letting me be his read double. Although I must warn you all - my sexy may take over.

I personally thought it looked pretty organic and natural.

If you're referring to the below, I thought that was one of the more organic, natural things I've seen from Madden 16. The DL actually was physical and got around the OL with force. (The DL was like "get off of me." That's what I'm looking for in football replication. However, I would have like to have seen the DL exert more running force towards the QB after the DL broke free.)

Maybe not replicating this particular scenario always, but the concept of the DL using force to get around the OL (or trying to get through the gap with proper angles, speed and force) is what I am looking for in DL/OL line of scrimmage interaction.




Madden still requires a lot of work on the line of scrimmage.

I was watching the 49ers and Cowboys preseason game today and noticed how Madden has yet to fully replicate true pass rushing for all pass rushers. Madden still frequently cues up an DL/OL patty cake interaction animation.




Why does Madden's DL keep rushing directly at the OL?

From what I saw in the 49ers and Cowboys preseason game. The DL consistently tried to attack the gap (or left and right side of the OL) to rush the QB ... while the OL had to make quick footwork adjustment to try to impede the DL's penetration. I didn't see any Madden patty-cake interaction during the 49ers-Cowboy preseason game.

I am still waiting to see Madden replicate the DL (immediately off the snap) taking the proper angle to get around the OL as opposed to jumping immediately into a DL/OL patty cake interaction. The DL needs to look towards hitting the gap and penetrate the gap to get to the QB. In Madden, the DL still consistently purposely makes direct contact with OL as oppose to trying to get around the OL.
