really? is that true since 2005, because that is a long time - i have heard the madden horror stories on next gen, but you sound like they have turned the corner in a major way - I hope so.

The on field action in this game is simply amazing. On default all pro I struggled making simple throws with Eli Manning.

0 and 6 so far in my Bucs cfm having fun losing though. Played Mariota, Brees, Hoyer, Bortles, and RG3 and they've all played exactly the same. It's really hard to stop the cpu passing game bc it seems like instead of breaking on pAsses my guys just wait for catches before they react

After logging 10 hours with the EA Access version, I stepped up and bought the game today without hesitation.

The thing that sticks with me the most after 10 games is that I can really tell the difference between elite teams and elite players. I played different games with a lot of different teams and not one game played out like the other.

You really need to focus on D to stop Brady. Pittsburgh D is terrible, Seattle's D is as advertised. The Dallas OLine is legit. Elite WRs are elite and everyone else is...everyone else. Playing QB with Manziel is fun because he is mobile and has a high short pass accuracy, but he is awful if he has to throw the ball more than 15 yards down the field.

I sacked Luck with KC 4 times within the first few drives and never came close to Brady with Pittsburgh's D. You can get pressure with 4DL if you can effectively USER cover the underneath routes. The throw on the run animations are just sick! Especially when they take off to avoid a sack and the pass falls 10 yards short of the intended WR. I've had games with 2 penalties and games with 8 penalties.

I played all of my games on AP default, 6 minutes, with the accelerated clock off. For anyone racing to get their slider sets out....pump the brakes, play at least five games, and work from there. This is a new game and how would anyone ever know how dynamic the gameplay is if changes to sliders are made after one game? I read a post earlier where someone said something like "AP is traditionally too easy." Well yeah, but this is a new game. Drop the preconceived notions of past titles and give the game a fair shot to prove how dynamic it is. This one is different, it's refreshing, and it's the first one I've played that actually feels like a real upgrade from the previous year.

Rex and his team deserve all the props! Well done!

I agree I played 2 games so far one against bucs which was a blow out I won 51-21... They got 5 sacks 3 ints i had 4 sacks 1 int.

Just played the cowboys and this was a crazy nail biting game I won 42-38 on last sec td pass with 2 secs left.

The cowboys just took lead 38-35 on a 68 yard td pass I answered back with 80 yard td funny thing is I was once down 21-7 but thanks to 2 fumbles and int I tied it 21 all at half.

Cowboys defense didn't get anywhere near mccown 0 sacks one int
I got 3 fumbles 1 int.

I play on all-pro default sliders 12 minute quarters gotmy 1st DPI in this game I jumped off my couch lol.

I like it a lot. Default All-Pro is challenging, it might even be overpowered toward the CPU which is great. If sliders work then I can probably skip All-Madden cheese altogether.

The immersion factor still hasn't been improved which is disappointing. Especially because the intro "Superbowl 50" gameplay was actually done very well. I wish they could have used that format for important franchise games like primetime and playoff games.

I buy madden every year since Madden 99 and this is the most fun I've had in Madden since Madden 05. My opinions of the game might change in a month but as of right now I wanna say kudos to EA and Tiburon and trust me when I say I rarely applaud them and been real hard on them but this year I have to give them props.
