KEY FEATURES

New to Madden

Battle for Air Supremacy

Total Control Passing - Place the ball where only your receiver can get it with body-relative throws including high-point, low-point, back-shoulder, and the ever-popular touch pass. Become the ultimate dual-threat and terrorize defenses with new pressure avoidance and QB scramble controls.

On defense, disrupt the outcome of each play using the new ‘play ball’ and ‘hit receiver’ mechanics. Receivers and defenders deliver the most authentic exchanges to date with new press and zone-chuck interactions, contextual hand-fighting, and a variety of 2-man interactions at the catch point including pass interference penalties, tip balls, knock outs and simultaneous possession catches.

Knew this was coming but what about Signature ball carrying/running styles? What about improved Living Worlds with improved Sidelines? What about improved CPU AI logic? What about an improved Physics system? I'll wait to hear more info but I seriously hope these aren't the only improvements.

Gameplay stuff sounds good so far, can't wait to see how this will be implement in H2H games, although I hope it doesn't make offense too OP.

If there is no draft/big board... it angers me just thinking about it.

This sounds good so far, a lot of what we've been asking for. Lets try to be happy for 2 seconds about it before we find reasons to kill the game already. I'm sure we will hear much more soon. Good and bad.

Sounds promising.. Cant wait to see how it plays out. On the other end of things EA has a way of overpowering things so lets hope its implemented correctly..
