Madden NFL 16: Reviewer First Impressions

[daringerinc]

I noticed that online head to head games do not have referees on field! This has to be fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else having problems downloading rosters and other material?

Had the game for a few hours (so take this for what it is) and I think it's really great so far. Just beat the 'Skins 27-17 with Miami, my security blanket - Greg Jennings - had 10 rec for 191 yards and a TD. Felt like a realistic variance game and not a bad sign of being overpowered. But I could be wrong.

Something I would really like to make the review is the lack of "canned" entrances for created QB's as they run onto the field for the first time. All you see is a ball being thrown in the air or a video zoomed in on someone's feet. I can only imagine that it will be the same as you move on into CFM and new QB's start to take over the league. I think it takes away some of the "immersion" of the game. It would be nice if they could actually use highlights from previous games or have some pre generated stuff. Or maybe instead focus on your running back running onto the field if your team is a run heavy team or WR if he leads the league in TD's or something. or maybe a combo of both and sprinkle them in the game just to keep them fresh. OR maybe have Defensive intro's or spotlights similar to how the QB's have intros. I see that there are already some in the game but throw some stats up there during the game.

My impressions

Pros:
1. The QB's are as talented as they should be and play like they should. No robo QB.

2. The dome lighting is magnificent and much improved.

3. Franchise Menu seems smoother and more neat.

4. Stats come up in game more often and it seems like the adequate amount.

Cons:
1. I can't stand the presentation, after the first quarter of the game I've snapped Hulu it's the same old stale boring commentary.

2. I've seen to many times the same animation of a receiver going up for a deep ball get two hands on it and then just drop it like he didn't want the ball. It's way to common and annoying.

3. Running the ball, maybe it's just me, seems to be much more difficult than passing. I typically play on all pro so it could just be that.

Overall, it's a decent game. I feel like it's more of a madden 15.5 but nonetheless they did a good job and I'm enjoying it.
