Madden NFL 16: Online Play is Improved

[RaychelSnr]

There hasn't been a sports game that has nailed online play yet, but Madden has always come pretty close. Lag usually isn't a huge issue, most gamemodes that can be played offline can be played online with friends and the user interface is always clean and easy to navigate.

have played Madden 16 online after not buying Madden the last two years. online has been a pleasant surprise so far. only played two real cheeseballs in my ten games so far.

Of my lobby games and draft champs games, pretty much every person i played was straight lobby ball, get a fast qb and go on the run and no huddle.

THey end up losing, but it is still cheesy. Dont see much of an improvement there on my end at least.

THe lag for lobby and MUT over the years have been pretty stable, but you can't say the same for CFM h2h games, the lag in these games are atrocious and with the desync problems last year and the random 4th quarter dcs, it was frustrating to have to end up playing a game again.

The desyncs were due to visual settings not matching up between players i.e. one person has tackling cone and the other doesn't resulting in desyncs.

Then you have the invite system on xbox which is pretty much the dumbest invite process in history of video games, if you do not know, go try it out. Especially again, CFM which is a long redundant and frustrating experience.

The CFM problem in terns of inviting each other seems to be ignored, EA should take a look at it with MS and determine why can't we get to the team select screen accepting the invite the 1st time, not the 2nd or 3rd time.

There is a friend of mine I play online and he has mastered usering he DT to knock my RG on his *** 90% of the time and come through the line clean and get dang near a instant sack. You keep a back or 2 back to block but a lot of the time they STILL wont pick the guy up. They sometimes even run in parallel with the DT with their hands up like they gonna block him but NEVER do and watch me get sacked, LOL.

This is the BEST MADDEN EVAH though.

In my leagues test CFM we've had about 6 desyncs and we are only in week 2

DC has made online fun in a way that for sports games only the UFC game mode did, so that's a big improvement. It hasn't felt too laggy.

i had some series lag issues with a friend last night. It made the game unbearable to play... it was more of a delay than lag....

the desyncs are still going on and if we can figure out why its happening then why cant they?

the accepting a h2h game is annoying

none of these are make or break topics for me but do lower my experience a bit

Hope people realize, there's no solution for the human mind. I wrote about this before, but any human being is going to find a way to cheese if they really want to. Throw enough lobs to Dez or Calvin and they're bound to catch a few, that's just how it goes. The difference is, it's harder this year (so far anyway) to find ways to completely break the game and get wins doing the same thing.
