Yeah I do get alot of user picks. Is that not considered defense? I don't want to play "put the controller down" or play control a defensive lineman type defense. Nothing wrong with that just prefer to be more active unless the play calls for it rarely.
But my defense is usually in place for me to click on and pick the ball off or the pressure forces my opponent to throw the ball. Alot of times I am trying to bait the person into throwing where I know they wanted to go.
Man I throw plenty of incompletions and alot are thrown against me as well.
Damn I'd have liked to have played you CLW.
If you have time, quite a few incompletions here in the video and interceptions...and dropped ones too lol. Final score was 27-7. Had a 24-3 and 13-10 in the playoff run
I haven't played since 12 so I can only take an educated guess. But, even if what you say is true, sliders can artificially create incompletions by having INTs dropped. It's far from ideal but who the hell wants 2-5 INTs a game?
How anyone can think playing online and getting 5 interceptions a game is better than playing offline with sliders is baffling to me. It's a level of stupid that I don't understand. To each their own though, I suppose.
I'm going to buy 16, I think. Maybe I can't fix the game for ME with sliders (I'm guessing that I can) but I'll hold my opinion on it until it is based on more than speculation.
And don't get me wrong. I think Madden sucks and it has since PS2. I can't see that I'll ever buy it annually again (I haven't since PS2). I have no idea why anyone would buy this turd year after year. But after skipping 13, 25 and 15 I think it's time to give it a go again.
Well you have to consider I create majority of those. These would be completions most likely if not. This isn't the computer doing all of the work and just picking the ball off. Usually me undercutting the ball manually or guessing correctly on the intended target. No amount of sliders is going to change how I manually breakdown a play. Had I just put the controller down most of these interceptions may not even happen. And to they are considering that I will likely be in position to intercept the pass since we have played before so not to "test" my coverage area to say. Although I do mess up alot of coverages as well.
2-5 may be a stretch every game. I should have said every game against people who don't pay attention and just throw as quick as they can. Against guys who take their time I may only get 1-2 a game..if any. Hence in the game lastnight I only picked off one pass but dropped 2 other rather easy ones. I don't always catch the ones I am in position manually to pick off.
My point in all of this though is that there is Defense in the game and not the Arena score fest that I believe CLW experiences.

I'm happy you get some defense. All I know is for the past several years now its just a score fest and the pass rush is non existent giving you all day to find the wide open receiver. In watching these idiots play - I'm seeing the same things - all you have to do is snap the ball - quickly read zone/man - throw to the receiver you know i going to be open 100% of the time against that coverage
Yeah and thats the problem I think people see in these All-Pro difficulty games.
These guys definitely know how to break a game. I recall a "tip" from the guys on the stream (Prima guide guys) being made about coming out in 5-wide with the Vikings, then audibling down to I-Form so Percy Harvin could be put in the backfield at RB. Then of course run a toss play.
You are right though if playing strictly Play Now ranked games...then yes the experience could be infuriating. The low number I play every version even gets to me a little
Madden NFL 16 is now available for EA Access subscribers. Play up to 10 hours.
I am downloading it but I thought it was only pre-load. Is it confirmed to be playable now?
As per Pasta
I better remember to close the application.Madden NFL 16 is out now to download as a timed trial with EA Access on Xbox One. Subscribers to the service will get 10 hours of playtime after which it will expire. The timer is ticking down whenever the game is loaded regardless of whether it is being played, menus are being navigated through, or if there is any activity taking place at all. So make sure to exit out and close the application from the Xbox One home screen when not in use.
Well, game is almost loaded and my wife is heading off to work. I have all three kids. No Madden for me until at least 9PM Pacific.
Stupid auto correct!Um, double ream by Forte? I don't want to watch.
Looking forward to impressions guys!
NyQuil Popsicles.Well, game is almost loaded and my wife is heading off to work. I have all three kids. No Madden for me until at least 9PM Pacific.
NyQuil Popsicles.Think the wife might divorce me over that one...
I am in Mississauga all day tomorrow. Don't think my lack of posts mean I won't be glued to this thread tomorrow night!
Start up... download the new roster... check.
Damn load times are long at the start up.
Awesome intro... Pitt vs. Arizona.
* don't know why but super jaggy sound / kept cutting out.

Intro from Ben...
1. Choose your fave team... Raiders
2. Choose your level... All Pro (they recommend rookie or pro)
Skills trainer is up next...
passing and catching... a lot harder than it looks and a lot more confusing!!!
Game 1: Browns vs. Dolphins
Game start up is identical to 15.
game speed is faster. I will be switching to SLOW.
First play... I (Josh McCown) try a RAC and am intercepted!!!
Zone D stucks!
Default run game is way too strong for HUM
Lot's of one handed grabs... had an amazing one with Bowe
CPU return game is awful... straight ahead every time!
Crowd sound is a lot better!!!
Lots of tipped balls and they can ends in ints.
Beware of the neutral zone infractions
CPU QB's are very accurate
I had a 75 yard TD strike. Speed kills with the new mechanics
Halftime stats on the monolith are incorrect as compared to the game
Up until a 63 yard TD run Lamarr Miller was averaging 2.1 ypc
an encroachment call.. and the offense wasn't swt
offensive pass interference on Miami... nice!
3ints all from Y agressive tips
I lost 20-10 but it was a fun game.
I don't have a gold membership so I cannot use draft mode or Ultimate team. I also have to play offline for CFM as I cannot use cloud.
Load times are sooooooooooooooooooo long!!!
Special teams sliders are NOT seperated between cpu and hum!!! Again!!!
