The one thing I will disagree with the poster is that they haven't taken care of Jack sh@#t. The game is still a sloppy mess plagued by a multitude of issues. Rubber Band A.I. Man coverage is abismal, zone coverage is still nonsense. What happened to the player sense 2.0? The list is endless. Still a very long way to go before this game resembles real football.

Not that this is a fix-all, but are any more significant patches expected? Rex pretty much admitted that gang tackling, wr/db interaction and multiplayer true-step, were not in this year game, but I'll take whatever they can patch that improves the game at any level.

Everything in this game is predetermined.

There's an organic nature to NHL and FIFA games where a play opens up that's so unqiue, you feel like it's the real thing. Despite their flaws, it adds to NHL's and FIFA's replay value. Madden doesn't have those moments, it's more rinse, lather, then repeat.
wow, you said this so perfectly

Just a theory, but it would explain the lack of "Organic" feel that Madden often suffers from.
Just watched the video someone posted above and that video lends itself toward the "every play is scripted" theory. Ball goes through the DB's hands and right to the receiver. I had something like that happen to me in Madden 10, never will forget it. The AI was the WR, and I was on defense. I had the DB in front of the receiver in the end zone. Perfect interception right? I jump, and it triggers the animation where the ball bounces off the hands though in real life it would be a catch. Thinking, ok, no problem except as it falls to the ground in front of my DB, all of a sudden 6 points go on the board. I went back to the replay, the receiver, who was behind my DB reached through my guy's stomach and caught the ball.

As for this thread, I have seen this happen in Madden 15 where the players just watch the ball go past them for no reason at all. It's like, oh look a bird. Look at the bird fly above us, never mind the fact the QB just threw the ball and that it wasn't a bird, it was the ball.

Funny thing is, I feel like sometimes the DBS are programmed to jump the route on a receiver, I remember one game I had a tight end skinny post and watkins running a slant as the original play, so to put the safety on an island I audible him to a fly.....next thing you know i snap the ball and the corner runs RIGHT TO the spot I would have thrown the slant at, completely ignoring watkins running by himself down the field
