Madden NFL 16 Community Impressions

It drives me crazy that there is so little time in between plays when your on defense to make subsitutions to packages. i wish there was a way to slow it down

^^^ Agreed. I'd love for it to, at least offline, show what personnel is leaving the field and coming onto it so I can at least get a decent idea of what personnel I am going to run with, then after a few seconds of it showing you that, the CPU "picks" its play and the countdown starts. As of right now we get what 8 seconds to pick a play whereas in real life that's barely enough time for the offense to even get their players on and off the field let alone huddle up and get the call in.

I'm probably gonna pick this up today. Played the the trial and it does play a lot better then 15.... I really like MUT for some reason lol

And that's where I had a question. I see the deluxe edition comes with the 36 packs I think it was? Anyway it said you get 3 packs a week starting on September 1st..... Does that mean I'll miss out on some packs or I'll still get the 36?

Maybe so..but it might be still good.

Love your profile pic! I played Mike Tyson's Punch Out as a kid when it came out. Yes, I'm old.
My opinion that even without the Trajectory Arc, punting's way too easy, and it rewards a strategy that's really not that common in real life. Punts that go out of bounds on the fly inside the 10 just don't happen that much. I'd just like to see a mechanic that results in more true-to-life outcomes.
Also, way too often, the CPU does those goofy punts from the opponent's 48 yard-line that goes way out of bounds at the 21 or punt one from the opponent's 42 yard line that goes out of the back of the endzone on the fly.

Overall, I'd say Madden 16 is definitely a step forward, and a step in the right direction. It's starting to become what I was hoping for in a next-gen football game.
I'm a guy who's all about the steak, and could care less about the sizzle. Stuff like QB runouts and improved broadcast presentation are neat the first few games, but after that it's just something I spam "X" to get through.
I'm all about what happens between the huddle breaking and the whistle blowing, as well as the personnel management portion of football.
On the field, outcomes are more varied and realistic than last year.
Franchise mode has plenty to keep me immersed, but needs to be cleaned up in the area of player progression/regression and making sure draft classes gel with the current players speed-wise, etc.
Overall, I'd have to say the newest Madden is the best football game I've played, which should always be the case, as each new version should be an improvement on the last one.

I knew right off the bat that wouldn't be the case for me, but I still play this game occasionally which hasn't happened in a long, long time.
