High Player Sense coupled with high ZCV + AGL ratings.

WR aren't aware of the ball until they "look back" to see it, but def players are programmed through "Player Sense" to auto look back at the QB at the snap and often times through out the whole play.

Same warp-drive issue as QB drop-backs.
To make ZCV tighter, def players cover huge chucks of land back-peddling/side-shuffling w/out any "momentum" applied to their change of direction.

We can't touch Player Sense, but lowering ZCV (which dictates players reacting as soon as the ball leaves the QB hand) will minimize the instant reaction by def players greatly.

There are some gameplay things we will be able to improve with ratings editing inside Franchise now.
Like most though, just wish it would be out-of-the box.

It also completely invalidates his opinions on player evaluation - solely judging based on counting stats - but that's another story.

My bad I meant Player Roles they are not in the game.

I read early on, that there were going to be new gameplay camera angles added to this years Madden. Can anyone confirm this?

I can only speak for myself, but in 16 I never saw picks like the one by Mathieu. This without even making adjustments to coverage sliders. This was an area that was much improved over past Maddens, where tinkering with those sliders were always a must.

We'll see with the retail release if they've juiced it back up some, to impossible quick twitch levels, but the good think though is that for single player gamers at least this can easily be fixed with sliders.

Yes, exactly. All I saw there was the same thing that makes me put the game away. These super human, ridiculous looking movements that lead to turnovers. I know it's being touted as "smarter" defense, but it's not smarter, it's super human. In real life, he would have to plant his foot, attempt to change direction and get over there. Chances are he'd probably slip or have to put his hand on the ground to regain his balance. That is a case where you throw that pick and you throw your controller out of frustration. The overall player movement is still so choppy and stuttered.

I didn't like the 1 hand tackle bringing AP down

Overall stats Rodgers looked good,but individual games he had some really bad ones looked a little disjointed. I believe where the filing apart comes from

Seeing this game in action just doesn't excite me anymore. The animations are just ground hog day, I don't get it anymore. The day 1 purchase is almost literally gone for me on this title.
