Lol I wanna say when I tried playmakers rosters years ago and even dans with fbg ratings applied it gave rb's and pr's the ability to attack holes and not just run straight. They would use moves in the trenches. Simple ratings adjustments got the results we wanted. Again, at least it's a band aid til it's redone.

I agree completely... do something with it if they can't overhaul it. I wonder if special teams issues even get on their radar of things to work on.

Probably very far down the list. Max Cover Punt I'm sure still doesn't work as a play call. Punt coverage as a whole doesn't even really work. I hate how the return men automatically know exactly where to go on the field as soon as the ball is kicked. The Seahawks only gave up like 3.9 a return on punts last year. I don't even think that's possible in Madden without averaging like 30 yards a kick.

It will be interesting to see how the wind affects the punting game, it's supposed to affect punting just like it is kicking, and the ratings are supposed to be in play more as well.

It's amazing how actually rating players on equally-based data can change how a game feels - even if it is just on KR/PR. If EA would actually mimic how players move by hiring a kinematics team, they would improve the game vastly.

I'm still waiting for the ability to set who's on my special teams. Can't stand seeing top players running down the field on special teams.
I'm assuming that's still not an option.

Hard to get enthusiastic about a game released by a developer that can't even get the wind in the right direction, 25 years deep in their franchise.

I hope they added more settings. Or re add things they took away, like run blocking?
