This year?....completely different. There's not 1 area of the game that I can pinpoint, well other than penalties...that I can honestly say I don't enjoy. I've read through most of the impressions thread,and glanced through some of the threads....and I'll just say,while some are warranted,the majority I've seen are issues that CAN be dealt with with sliders....but folks would rather complain than look for solutions. The last thing I'll say...is OF the complaints I've read,if these things get patched,then I'm done....I'm not going to point out specifics,as I don't "name and shame"....but I feel the guys at EA are FINALLY on the right track,and I would hate for the "complainers" to get the game dumbed down just so they can be successful.

I agree, in years past it felt like after 2 or 3 games you had seen all that year had to offer. In terms of animations, controls, gameplay depth, and strategy. After those 3 or so games it was all about getting the sliders adjusted to taste. This year I have played a ton of games and it feels like im scratching the surface in all of those categories.

I stumbled onto a sweet stutter juke. instead of just flicking the RS left, flick it right then left (or vice versa). with no LT works and looks better than the hop juke from one flick. so I went in to check out the advanced controls and there is a lot to work into my arsenal this year.

Sounds familiar? Rams: Kirky Hadley (draftee). Now, they drafted him in the first round in 2015. Bradford was coming off a 2,913 yard and 17 interception season so maybe that's realistic. Ravens: Blaine Gabbert. Redskins: Matt Barkley. Saints: Kristian Hunter (draftee) Brees retired the first year, which was kind of strange. Seahawks: Wilson Steelers: Alex Smith (they cut Big Ben like two seasons ago) Texans: T.R. Farris (draftee) Titans: Dijon Snow (draftee) Vikings: Bridgewater"

That doesn't even bother me. I don't see that as being so bad.

Nor is it anything near what I saw in the few CFM tests I ran when we were looking at Sim Stats.

That's a very big mischaracterization. The general issues those people point out are things one could see by not playing at all and just letting the CPU play against itself.

In some cases yes. In some cases, there clearly is wonky stuff going on. It' clear guys ilke Ryan Moody, are clearly in it for Youtube fame and getting hits. They desperately need things to post about, manipulating the situation is not out of the question.

That being said, to each their own. If buying games for the strict purpose of going on bug hunts is what they want to do, more power to them. I have no problem with it.

I just play the games I like and don't play the ones I don't like. I don't need some guy on the internet looking for YoutTube celebrity to tell me whether I should enjoy the game or not.

So I just lost to the Cowboys (no Romo) with the Eagles 24 - 30 and i'm ****ing pissed!!!!!

*Using A&S sliders*

- My TE get's knocked out of the air by a Safety who's all over him and no call for PI

- I'm blitzing on every play and my defenders react once the RB is already 5 yards ahead WTF!!!!

- On 4th down McCoy runs the ball pass the 1st then breaks a tackle, goes BACKWARDS, then is tackled for no gain WTFFFFFF

- I'm throwing a streak pass with 11 secs left in the 4th, my WR and the CB both jump in the air at the same time to try and catch it, the CB tips the ball down and my WR randomly pushes the CB to the ground after and they call a ****ing clipping call on my WR.

Oh yeah Lance ****ing Dunbar ran on me for 165 smh

OMG! I lost it! I'm putting up the vids shortly after I cool down

In my career mode, you can see the player's breath, and all the camera guys on the sidelines are wearing shorts.

I feel like that's an easy fix.
