Not sure if anyone else has had this problem as I've only read about the last 3 pages, but while playing on All Madden I experience so many drops its mind boggling. And I'm not talking getting hit while catching the ball these are wide open receivers with a defender 5+ yards away. Happens multiple times a game(atleast 5 or more). Kind of irks me..

You're not the only one. If you're playing on All Madden, bump the catching sliders.

A couple of questions based on the demo vids being posted...

I'm noticing a lot of ignored rushers but an extreme lack of pressure if blockers can engage. Similar issue on run plays where most of the good defense happens when a defender is ignored.

Has anyone tried boosting the blocking AI & defensive break block? Seems like that could get the blockers to attempt to block the appropriate defenders more often but not hold blocks for so long.

Are there separate sliders for blocking AI & blocking ability (mental vs physical)? If so, is lowering that the same as raising the break block for defenders?

-----------

A lot of the game looks decent. If I ignore the line play and the RTP doesn't get out of hand, not too bad.

Very impressed with the commentary. Wasn't too sure about it before actually playing it, but there's practically no dead time. Makes it much more enjoyable.

As far as the gameplay goes, I like that the main upgrades seem to work as advertised. The coolest moment for me is when the CPU passed into double coverage, but Moss went up and got it. Just great timing and a great leap. Pretty cool catch to see that didn't feel cheap.

One thing I don't like though is that the AI never seems to adapt to the money plays. "Sugar Blitz" in the nickel formation always gets pressure or sacks. I got 2 sacks with Justin Tuck right at the beginning.

I just hope when playing CC, it's not as easy to pile on multiple sacks when using that play. It's great for applying pressure, but it's cheap when it gets you 40 sacks a season like it did in Madden 12...

With you on everything but the presentation. It needs to be alot tighter and more authentic at this stage of the series.

It's due to the all Madden default sliders being at 25 for the user, I think (WR catching included). Frankly I'm surprised people haven't noticed this in older Maddens - It speaks to the idea that sliders might actually work as intended this year. Try on all pro and see if they catch better.

Loving the demo, graphics nice, running game nice, new passing trajectory nice... now the big question, how will online play be? i swear it should be a rule to put out a beta for every online game... cause a game can be awesome, till it goes online
