Might have missed it in the review but any noticeable improvements to penalties? My main issue has been with pass interference calls that are rarely called. I hate having a receiver run into a defender and being unable to make a play on the ball, because the defender essential become a barrier, and no flag being thrown.

Good review.

"Running backs will also occasionally run right into their offensive linemen and fall over, as if they hit an oncoming truck." This problem has been happening ever since they introduced the Infinity engine SMH. Why are we still dealing with wonky physics 4 years later? Come on EA! Ugh

Excellent review Ben.

yeah this review has me more excited about the game. i'm looking to get some reading and watching in today, and your review was most pleasant from the previous 2 ive read.

i like the positive light. i don't play enough to always find glaring issues, and as a whole i'm always happy with the game.

this review is way encouraging.

thanks.

So the draft commentary from Schefter actually works this year? The past 2 years you would see him pop-up but 9 times out of 10 the audio wouldn't play.

No problem.

AI is certainly subjective, but I looked at two things: 1) Did the playcalling make sense? 2) Did the CPU make the right move at the right time?

This is something that is going to need a sample size of more than any of us have played, as of right now. But so far, my experience with the CPU has been a lot better than in years past.

"Franchise mode wasn’t given a ton of attention this year, but it received a large number of smaller changes that benefit it a lot."

That stood out so much when you consider they branded it as a complete overhaul
