Madden NFL 16 Video - Tennessee Titans vs. New York Giants

Someone needs to explain the logic behind bringing back the exact same scoreboard interface from M15. Doesnt EA know that theres a lot of people who played a lot of Madden last year and saw a lot of that scoreboard/typeface already? Guess it was too difficult to make even the slightest change

The only difference in it is the size of the EA logo. I'd like to see them add like 4-5 different scoreboard styles and have a sort of "dice roll" before the game starts to choose which one to go with.

A subtle detail like this could help keep things feeling fresh.

this would be very nice but evidently its hard enough for them to make even 1 new scoreboard

For whatever it's worth, Rex said in one of the interviews that in regards to the scorebug & other presentation elements, they were left untouched given their "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach. Those were his words.

which seems about right to me, it looks good, I mean change for the sake of change isn't something id like to hear. Their score bug is solid, and they seemed to have altered a lot of other presentational elements so Im good with it.

I'm hoping that was just an All-Pro issue.. That was one of the main things I wanted to focus on as soon as some game play videos was released. So I was definitely concerned when I saw the same exact issues with the Dline getting no penetration or being disruptive. Hopefully some videos get released with guys playing on All-Madden against the CPU. I can't really get a feel for how the gameplay fully is when guys are playing on All-Pro even though the CPU didn't play too bad in that video. I'm also hoping I can fix any of these issue with slider tweaking if it's still a problem on All-Madden with the CPU Dline getting no penetration against the run.

I have to say, this is a good video. I've all but given up on Madden and occasionally lurk around here to see if any miracles have happened, and this isn't a bad start.

If there was no player controlled UI elements to the game, I wouldn't have necessarily been able to easily tell that the Titans & Mariota were CPU controlled or human controlled. Not quite the Turing Test but a vast improvement nonetheless.

Still some animations that seem clunky and the game still lacks that minute attention to detail, not to mention the commentary is still really rigid and unrealistic, but it's probably the best E3 Madden video I've seen for a while.

I gave them some feedback and an idea that they liked, just waiting to find out if they were able to get it in, in time.
