It happens on default All-Pro too. There is usually one Safety/Defensive Back who crashes runs when they are in zone while everyone else takes their initial steps backwards before they recognize run.

The safety never runs up like that on playaction though.

Sim stats still need a lot of work. For cpu controlled team's stats: not enough tackles for loss, int yards. For my team it claims like half of my def players haven't allowed a single catch all year. Fumble yards are still messed up too, two guys have 65,000+ and everyone else has 8 or less. Was like this last yr also. Also zero blocked kicks for the entire league. Punt return averages are also much too low.

Disappointing to still see all these errors as some have been present in prior versions as well. Hope to see this corrected as there have been strides made in other areas.

Is anyone else dealing with issues like this? It only happens when I run PA passes but it's like if I even move the stick a hair, this is what happens. All I'm trying to do is step up or move a step to the right or left and it turns into absolute chaos lol.

Is it just me or does it bother the hell out of anyone else that the abbreviation for Los Angeles is LOS instead of LA in Madden?

One thing I would like to point out is how Draft Champions doesn't have offline reporting. If there's an issue with a server mid-game it's best to just go ahead and quit because it won't report the results even after reconnecting to the server post game. It seems a little dated considering years ago Online Dynasties in NCAA were able to report offline games despite mid game disconneection against the CPU. It's not a deal breaker, but considering the seervers have a mind of their own at times (they have been really good for me up to this point) it would be a nice implementation into the game with a patch.


Overall I'm really enjoying the game, but I have the urge to fire up a Franchise and I won't as long as the issues with player progression still stand. It's a beautiful game with refreshing changes to the gameplay from last year's game. I like that I finally have pretty good control of where I put my passes and it's also based on QB statistics. It's very noticeable playing with different quarterbacks around the league.

I'm giving MUT a fair shake this time around and between that and Draft Champions I'm surviving without CFM, but It won't be long before I'll have to take a break until the patch. I would play more online against randoms (I've completed 5 games), but the slight delay in online gameplay can be a little annoying when you come from playing offline against the cpu.

This is also the first year in quite a while where I've enjoyed playing defense and don't feel cheated by the CPU. There have been minimal robo QB moments for me and no games where the likes of Jay ****ing Cutler completes 90% of his passes for 300 yards and 3 TDs.

I've got a few complaints, but it's nothing really worth mentioning right now. I'll give the devs time to sort it out with the patch before I worry about it. I can't wait to fire up my monotonous franchise (let's face it.. this area of the game is in desperate need of some love). The gameplay is enough to keep me going for now. It's fun running various offensive schemes annd watching plays set up beautifully. I no longer feel afraid to call a play action pass for fear of being hammered when the defense has 3 down linemen and a zone. That **** happened way too often last year.

The game plays best on All Pro. All Madden has a few issues with "realism" that irk me too much. If you can find a solid set of sliders like Armour and Sword's on All Pro and maybe make a few of your own tweaks like I did you can really turn this game into something nice.

I'll quit rambling now... solid edition of Madden. It's the best I've played in quite some time.

I am very impressed with this year's game; played a 60 minute game yesterday and hated to see the game end. I actually woke up this morning thinking about this game. This is the first time is many many years that I've been this excited about a football game.

Play Action is butter in this game. If you do not establish a run game then PA will never work just like real life.

I just cant get into All Pro. I tried to give it a test with custom sliders and nothing. That mode is easy and the CPU does little to offer a challenge. Might be fine for people not use to playing a lot of madden.

I tested and tweaked sliders for All Madden and the game is awesome and balanced for me
