So kcrockaholic is making a Madden comeback this year it seems. Last years game was nearly unplayable to me. I played 30 games total.

Eric likes it.

Compared to NCAA '14
Running the ball is awesome

Contracts seem better
Progression seems better
The X-Factor abilities make free agency more interesting
[Reply]

Another review.


"no brick wall tackling"
"run game like NCAA 14"
"run blocking is fairly realistic"
"no X-Factors for OL, most powerful X-Factors are DL"
"leading a WR into space is awesome"
"RPOs feel good against the AI"
"Aaron Donald is OP"
"super LBs gone"
"contracts in franchise way better, day and night"
[Reply]

They have to add in X-Factors for O linemen right?
Also going to assume Chris Jones has superstar abilities? from what I hear if you have above average pass rushers they dont play much differently than the normal or crappy guys but superstar abilities are OP.

All players with Superstar Abilities.

Fair warning. Intro has REALLY obnoxious bass.

Tonight I'm dropping BOMBS
[Reply]

So let me get this right.....

Damon Harrison, Clowney, TJ Watt and DeMarcus Lawrence all got listed on the superstar attribute thing..

Chris Jones and Frank Clark didn't, brilliant.

Right this is pretty stupid, especially Chris Jones.

Shoulda been a give on that RPO game example, will dropped back. Some of the RPO stuff is pretty broken right now. Game overall plays a ton better than 19, but the oline blocking assignments are still broken as well as some of the zone coverage logic. Is it a step in the right direction? Sure. However the same stuff has been broken the last few years, and can't be patched out for some reason (mainly oline + rb pass block assignments and zone logic).

I saw several examples of awesome RB pass blocking in beta. Watching Hyde cut block pass rushers was awesome.
[Reply]

Yeah some of the animations make it look great, but the targeting code gets screwey. Too many times the RB just sits there behind a guard staring into space, while the tackle gets beat 1v1 or someone else that needs a double/help doesnt get it. Or better yet, I had a guard slide out to pick up edge heat instead of shifting to the tackle and then he kicks out. We've (game changer program) pointed this out to them years ago and its still here- meaning they either dont want to re-write the logic code OR they don't understand it. The game is definitely another step in the right direction.

the Guard kicking out beyond the edge to 'help' the Tackle with a rusher, only to leave a gaping hole where the Guard should've been and allowing an inside rusher has been infuriating for years.
