ANd the fact remains, I have to pay to see it...And WR/DB interactions are just one thing...

Look when you have a chance, as it seems you have seen some beta builds or something, and notice if, when DB's are in press cover, if their first move is to back pedal, or, if the WR goes inside or outside, the DB moves laterally to the LOS while keeping their body square with the LOS...

In M15 the DB immediately turn their hips, which is not proper cover technique...

I'm just going to echo what Sim said last week, no football game has ever done WR/DB interactions as well as M16 does. I've seen things APF/2k and any other football game, have never done.

I wouldn't be so worried if I could play a demo before buying, but that won't happen, so to even test the game I have to buy it...I could rely on reviews, but those can be bias/bought, and for every good review there is a bad review.

What about defensive holding during these new WR/DB interactions ? And if it's actually in the game does it work for LBs/TEs too?

In his previous post, Rex was asked about defensive holding and then he made the post about offensive holding for run and pass plays too. So, to answer the question yes and I believe so, can't remember for sure.

That's why I asked. Cause he was asked what type of holding is in the game and he only said offensive holding for run and pass blocking. I want him to clarify cause people got excited afterwards but he never said defensive holding

The new passing mechanics this year are the ability to throw low and high passes (relative to the receivers body) we also added touch passes which have a higher arc and a sharper drop. It is used for putting balls over the heads of underneath zone defenders and in front of deep zone defenders.

Are the defenders going to react to passes when the button is pressed or when the QB actually passes the ball? As it is now if I press A and the QB starts his windup then defenders are already collapsing to the intended receiver which shouldn't be the case. I can't throw the seam on 4 verts vs. cov 3 because as soon as I press the button defenders collapse quicker than they should. That and if I lob the pass it's basically an automatic pick. With these new passing mechanics will the "touch pass" actually allow me to drop the ball in the hole over the LB and before the safety without CBs running from the sideline making a pick?

Can't answer these questions yet, hopefully soon.
