Madden NFL 16 Community Impressions

It's a small detail, but I find it frustrating how year after year dirty unis ends up not working correctly in Madden. FIFA is a great example of how it works in real time. I was shocked when they implemented it last year, my guy would hit the ground in a rainy game and have a mud streak where he hit. I'd love this from a details/immersion standpoint in Madden.

Sim players have been screaming for these improvements for over a decade. To be able to get all 3 in one version...I'm happy beyond words. Best Madden...hell...best football video game I've ever played.

Penalties is horrible and non existing for online play BUDDY and it don't make any since why #Fail

This game is great. The fact that they got the train horn in for the bills on third down and its correct is very impressive. A solid 8.5/10 for me.

Draft champions is fun and has a lot of potential going forward. I'd like to see them expand on it. Maybe you keep your team until you lose instead of just after 3 wins your done. Also it should keep track of your history like your team with the longest win streak. Which players you put up the best stats with. That would make the mode deeper but what we have now is a good start

I have been playing since last week and have a solid 15 hours in now. Here's my impression. Should note did not play last year.
I am having fun with the game, i have worked the sliders a little to make the game play more even and as it should (how i feel it should), still needs tweaking.
The biggest thing for me in the last 2 games are penalties. I have seen obvious DPI's that we called it was great even if they were against me. one was on a long pass 30 yards to the endzone and my CB bump the WR off his route, but them on the 1 yard line. The other was across the middle. DEF holding i have seen 3 or 4 in the last 2 games and OFF holding about 5.
Stats seem to be close to right, but the tackling stat seems off my leading tacklers are FS and SS. but with slight changes to Sliders all the other stats seem to be coming in right. (should note: last game SEA(me) vs SF(CPU) Kap went something like 7-21 for 120 i know my DEF is good and the gameplan they used didnt really pass alot but seems a little low for a 30-10 blowout).
I think my biggest issue right now is the running game, running into the back of OL and not moving, and off field stuff like the challenge it is to look at player info for trades and things like that. Also bugs that has been reported that i have seen is calls against one team but its actually goes against the other, the player skills boost from dynamic goals.

Didn't get much time in with this game last night. Was only able to get a half in. Played all-pro out of the box, and it was WAY too easy, I was playing as the Seahawks so that may have a little to do with it, but I was still up 24-3 on Denver at half, and felt like I could do whatever I want on offense. Will bump it up to All-Madden tonight and see how it goes. With that being said, PENALTIES!! Finally a Madden game with realistic penalties that affect drives. In one half I saw a DPI in the end-zone, and a defensive offsides. Two things that have been basically non-exsistent in Madden for the last decade, also got an offensive Holding, and a false start. Overall this game will be a gem once some of the slider guys get their sets out, and they fix CFM. Gameplay is outstanding.

I been playing with Eli and lighting it up with him. I guess its how you play it.

In coach mode, CPU QB taking sacks on screens because they don't pass the ball needs to be addressed. My QB took 5 sacks on screens because he wouldn't throw the ball to the HB. Instead he just kept back pedaling.

I wish the roll out mechanic for QB was a trait. IMO the CPU QB don't do it enough when the situation calls for it. I also wish we had access to the new “Behavior Coordinator" for we could edit it ourselves.
