1. Player movement fixed. Animations are phenomenal.
2. Running the ball is smooth and responsive. You don't feel like you're losing control.
3. Usering on defense works well, clicking on and controlling the nearest defender is super responsive.
4. Pass rush is lethal. This will lead to complaints. Adaption of gameplay style will be needed. No chuck and duck.
5. You cannot play Madden 20 like Madden 17/18/19. You will fail.
6. QB animations look really good. Passing game feels realistic, but you need to anticipate a lot of routes and account for pass windups.
7. Super linebackers are gone. Even user defending you need to be much closer to a receiver to user pick.
8. X-Factor Superstar abilities are not overpowered. If you are "in the zone" you do not automatically dominate. It just gives you a better chance of success.
9. You will be scared of the really good pass rushers. And the good safeties. And the good linebackers. Players play how they play in real life. "Special players feel special. It's not just about speed anymore."
10. Stiff-arm works better.
11. QBs who can get outside the pocket are dangerous. But if you spy or contain you will stop it.
12. Jet sweeps are fun and work...maybe OP. RPOs are hit and miss, might need tuned.
13. Run blocking isn't perfect. AI needs work. Some players still oblivious. But you can still run the ball.
14. No huddle is OP. You can snap the ball really fast after the last play ends. [Reply]
Game is really smooth. The definitely refined all the animations. Player movement rocks.
I am getting sacked too much, but I also have 223 yards and 2 TD in the first half of the Pro Bowl.
I'm really noticing, you just have to be bang bang with your actions. There's no waiting on an animation like Madden 18.
Case in point, I just threw a slip screen to Reek and there was no delay. I just snapped the ball, waited a tick for my blockers to get moving and pounded the pass button. Pulled off two sick jukes in the open field too. 36-yard gain.
RPO stuff looks good, too, but you can't hold the ball. [Reply]
UNBELIEVABLE MOMENT: Called an RPO and completed the pass. Waited too long to throw though and got an INELIGIBLE MAN DOWNFIELD PENALTY. A couple plays later, ran it again and the TE got an OPI for blocking downfield. [Reply]
