How fucking stupid can they be? The Madden team is awful. This has been an issue since AT LEAST Madden 12. Fix it already.

CFM...
In the transaction log they have added the tile: position changed
Tweets are still in the game... they are in the league news feeed section.
Everything is more streamlined and you only get the depth if you look for it (hidden in menus)
In CFM on the "wheel" they now have RATINGS. It provides the OVR and CONFIDENCE for your players. Nice addition!
On your drives when you make a nice play you see a plus sign and a number... it's the xp that was gained by the player.
Confirmed... Formation subs do not stick from week to week. Damn!
I played for three hours and I have three short stream clips that I will upload later. Here it is in a nutshell.
1. Is this game better than 15? YES!
2. Is it a huge improvement from 15? NO! (with the exception of gameplay)
3. Is the gameplay a major step up from 15? YES!
4. If you have 15 should you buy 16? If gameplay is #1 to you then yes...if not it's a toss up.
5. Are the CFM improvements worth it? Probably NOT. Scouting is nice but that's about it.
6. What's the verdict on goals? At times I like them but frankly I find them annoying!
7. WR/DB interaction a good thing? YES but FYI it also involves A LOT more button mashing.
8. Legacy issues still present? YES
* AUTO SUBS doesn't do much, robo QB, weak cpu run game, poor zone D, no formation subs from week-to-week, running out of bounds, etc.
9. Is aggressive catch overdone? YES!!!! Too many one handed catches, too many tip drills and speed kills.
10. Is the audio better? YES!
11. Is presentation better? Well it's not very good but it is slightly less annoying than last year.
12. How are the facial scans? The players who have them look pretty good but the coaches don't look very good IMO.
13. How are FA ratings? Absurdly high! The FA pool is basically full of high 80's and high 70's players. It's crazy!
14. Has equipment been upgraded? NO! Nothing new in that area.
15. How well do penalties work? Fairly infrequent but definitely more than last year. (avg about 4 per game with no tweaks)
I haven't played with the sliders and have not seen any injuries at this time. am also not used to playing on XBOX so it is harder for me. That being said, it's a decent game. Is it worth $70-80 dollars? Honestly, if you enjoyed 15 then probably not but if you skipped 15 or didn't like 15 then I suspect you will like this game as the gameplay is a lot better.
I am down to about 6 hours so I need to save some time as I want to do scouting and a draft and then check out season two. I am also doing a relocation but I believe none of that changed.
12. Do stat banners last longer? YES!
Not great quality as the stream kept cutting out but this is the last few minutes of my first game. I lost 20-10. on ALL PRO I had three interceptions which just killed me. Miami could not run the ball but a 62 yard rush messed up the stats. WR Bow had 2 amazing 1 handed catches. A great catch can be found around 8:35,
Totally agree. There is no excuse for this but just lends credence to the fact this current madden Dev team doesn't give a shit about sliders. Their focus is clearly on MUT and the offline gamer is told to bend over.
Jaymo, thanks for the great impressions. Sounds like I'll have to go to all madden to get a competent cpu offence. I thought they said user running was harder this year. If you have a chance can you see if you can just pound the ball up the middle on all madden too easy? That crap ruined Madden 15 for me.
And the free agent ratings have been ridiculous for a long time. If they are still free agents EA that means they suck. Almost everyone should be no higher than 70 on that list with only a handful of exceptions like Mathis.
A quick look at scouting in week three.
Nothing specific... just going through various menus. Notice at 10:30 with the FA list. Brutal!
Thanks for the throwback Miami game video!
Rudy I will look into the RB question tomorrow using I FORMATION and just run straight up the middle. I will try to get some footage. Based on tonight... it's pretty easy to get 5 yards at a time.
First of all, thank you to jaymo for sharing with us. I appreciate it.
The news of the ST sliders and formation subs has me reconsidering whether I should buy this streaming pile.
I think I need to take the next few days to consider getting PES 16 instead (of course I'm buying FIFA either way). I need to educate myself on a few things with PES that I know may annoy me and weigh that against Madden because I'm positive Madden will piss me off.
Such great unis! After that game even Cleveland's new unis are starting to rub off on me.
No problem buddy. Any footage you want me to get, just let me know and I will see what I can do.
I like the new Browns uniforms. I'm leaving for work soon. I'm guessing Jaymo will be very tired today.
I'm good with that...notably the Gameplay.
Glad more involvement is needed for the WR/DB interaction and not done automatically for the user. The icons likely don't show up on All-Madden for each catch I'd imagine also. Which I know you can probably turn on through settings.
Penalties? Any will be an improvement over the number I got this past version. I only got one my last game because I wasn't paying attention and ran into the punt returner. Other than that not much else in a huge number of games.
Good stuff Jaymo. Steelers gameplay or nothing lol
I appreciate whatever you get to. It's your money that got you early access and you should use the time as you see fit. Far be it from me to stoop to selfish requests.
Enjoy the rest of the time you have, buddy!
I could have sworn they were when I looked at them fora couple weeks ago.
The dude abides.
