Madden NFL 16 Community Impressions

There's a lot that I like this year in Madden 16, unfortunately, that's all moot with the current frame rate issues.

I don't care foe the highlighted circle underneath your controlled player. To me, the less graphics on the field, the better. Either have a circle under them so it's transparent... that isn't colored in (if that makes sense), or just have the names underneath the player.


I tried turning this off, but I don't see the option. Anybody know if it's possible?

If you're playing on XB1, turn your console off and unplug it to clear the cache.

If this does not solve the issue, uninstall all game data and the game from your HD. Turn your console off and unplug it to clear the cache. Boot it back up and re-install all data.

This should fix the frame rate issues you are seeing.

Does anyone have any advice or pointers on playing with the DLine? With Harrison/Richardson/Wilkerson I expected to get a bit of pressure, but I can barely get into the backfield.

Is there a certain way to beat the OL this year compared to years past?

Thanks

I tried unplugging it to clear the cache and that didn't work.

I will try uninstalling all game data and unplugging the console this evening and report back. Thanks!

Sliders. I actually had to lower mine after adjusting as the CPU was getting to many false starts.

I primarily play CFM, but “Draft Champions” seems like something I’ll spend a lot of nights playing too. Especially those nights when you want to play, but don’t know who / how / what you want to play as.
I was pretty optimistic heading into M16 as far as game play thanks to E3 / users providing videos, and I feel like it hasn’t disappointed. There are some AI decisions I don’t understand. Most of them are play calling late / time outs not being used.

I enjoy that player ratings matter, but they’re not too over powering. My favorite team has always been Seattle, and the last few years of Madden haven’t been the most fun to play as them because games were not all that fun to play, unless I tweaked sliders so much that average Joe’s could burn Sherm, and Shawn could get tackled by a 160lb corner with 42TKL.

The play ball mechanic has been so much fun, because it’s not a catch, by me or the CPU, every time. It is fun seeing a WR catch the ball, and the DB hit it out, or vice versa. It’s finally fun to have one-on-one on the outsides and throw the fade or back shoulder. They feel so much more organic, and they tie perfectly into the WR/DB mechanics. It looks like a game you’d see on TV, and that’s before you account for the sweet graphics and post play cut angles… which are pretty ‘baller’.

I’ve yet to dive into CFM too much while I wait for the patch, and obviously we have equipment / uniform issues that we all know we shouldn’t… But as far as on field play, I’m digging this years edition.

Just went to play my 2nd Franchise game and rechecked settings. Defensive Holding slider is not saving. No matter what I set it to when I go back in it is reset back to 50. Anyone else?
