Madden NFL 16 Video - Draft Champions Walkthrough and Gameplay (GT Reviews)

[Hooe]

So I am at E3, and I got to play Madden NFL 16 at length today, predominantly the Draft Champions mode. Proof that I am at E3 is on my Twitter account (@CM_Hooe), my tweets are location-tagged.

I went into the Draft Champions mode with tepid interest but left pretty impressed. Each pick forces the user to make interesting decisions with respect to personnel, and there's commentary by Adam Schefter about each pick. I found it quite engaging and think it's going to be a great pick-up-and-play mode.

I'll post different impressions of the game in other threads, but my thought specific to Draft Champions is that it could end up being a sleeper hit. It's a different and interesting new way to experience Madden.

I'm actually impressed. The gameplay looked very good, much better than I thought it was going to be. It was great to se WR/DB interaction on every play, and the gang tackling looked very good. I can't wait to try out the new catch mechanics as a WR, and new pass defense mechanics as a DB, but so far, it looks promising.

ThisNebraskaFan agrees with every word of ThatMichiganFan's post!

EA should be touting the tackling because it looked great.

I also really like that they went back to M25s style zoom cam. Zoom cam in M25 was awesome but last year in M15 it wouldn't zoom out enough during the play. Zoom cam looks great in this vid.

This looks nice. I enjoyed M15, and this is a step up. It's not everything I want but it looks fun.
