You hold it down.

I am not going to wish for a patch either - there are some issues that exist on both consoles and for me that is enough to dissuade me from making the M15 current gen purchase.

The defense is FAR worse against the run on 360/PS3 IMO. I find the CPU run defense and defense overall a lot better/harder on the PS4. No comparison. All-pro on PS4 is harder than all-madden on PS3.

I got the game thinking this was the year it all changed, but man, I never really dug into CFM thinking the mode was a mess, and it is, but I bought the presentation would do standings upcoming games, season stats,etc. The stat overlays continue to pop up and go away before you can read what they say, and with like 7 minutes let in the 4 quarter they tell you who you play next week. .sorry excuse for presentation. They hired an nfl films guy and pimped it out. It looks great, unfortunately there's programming involved and I don't ink they know what they are doing.

Seriously! By far my biggest complaint with the presentation. It's nice to see who's in the playoff race, but wow, they only give us time to read who the division winners are before they take the window away. Whose time, exactly, are they trying to save here? What's the friggin rush?

I'd say wait until EA releases a patch. If they address the main issues (sacks, ROBO QB, etc) the game could be solid.

I'm glad the PS4 version has more defense. The run defense is better and LBs fly to the ball. But the interior DL still get knocked off the ball EVERY time on short yardage. You never see them get a TFL on an inside run. 3rd and 1 is still automatic. It would be nice if it was more dynamic and it didn't feel cheap to call a normal inside run on 3rd and short. The run game needs more balance on inside vs outside IMO.

Im loving the game.

I cant seem to make big gains on throws or get some decent YAC, but Id say that is mainly user error.

You're going to want to save that sprint for when you really need to get around the corner or pull away from someone. Madden's default ratings are just horrible IMO which is why fast players dont always feel as fast as they should. Default SPD and ACC ratings just seem random. But try 0 threshold and see if you like that better.

I fixed this last year with the False start and offsides sliders. Raise offsides or lower false start or both to get the defenders to hold the point of a attack much better. The ratings will still decided who wins but that intial 1-3 yards push every lineman gets even if they get beat can be eliminated.
