Madden NFL 16 Tuning Update Arrives, Tunes Risk/Reward Factor in WR/DB Interaction

[yankees028]

I love it and the fact ea is finally basing a hand off real life. Not throw it up 8 times a game and catch it 8 times. In tried last night to Calvin Johnson I went 1/6 on deep jump balls and threw 1int. I will take those stats all day. People need to learn how to play real football. Not the Madden cheese football so many people have grown so used to

lol at folks online.

This update has spawned many quitters due to the inability of users being bailed out, using the aggressive catch.

GG @ EA

Weird I don't see that issue at all.

Played 3rd game this time against arod and pack... Arod went deep 4 times 2 times he got td's other 2 were int by me so I am seeing the risk reward.

Before those 4 passes were prob 4 td's.


Since the tuner it seems I'm getting more int's... 4 against Stafford 1 against borles and 2 against arod.


I'm liking this tuner alot liked game before like it better now.

Even at default, I am seeing far fewer "suction tackles" than before the tuner - which might explain why people think the run game is "easier". Tackles definitely feel more dynamic than they did before...and overall, the gameplay feels better. EA definitely did a good job with this one.

I agree, tackling is much better.

Eh, that's prob true. And, while I am an absolute sim guy, I suppose this is 1 of a few areas that I lean slightly towards arcade, I guess. I'm controlling the plays, I'm controlling Matt Ryan, If im making the right reads every game, I still expect to hit Julio deep once and I expect that beast of a WR to go get it! Maybe, I just like Julio too much and the fan in me wants to see that every game as well. But, you're right, in real life, he doesn't make a great catch every game. Although, even with the Falcons poor play the last few seasons, it 'feels' like he makes at least one per game. The other aspects I lean slightly towards arcade are hit stick and stiff arm. I wouldn't mind seeing stronger stiff arm animations where lynch or a Steven Jackson just punch someone in the mouth (which they do in real life). And, I could go for a few more bone shattering hits. But, the more I play, the more I seem to more naturally be in a better position to lay the wood. So, that's working out alright.

Suction does seem to be reduced UNTIL you start a juke, suction tackling during jukes is bad in this game, its like jukes are tackle magnets, I find it more effective not to juke, just make shark cuts with the left stick.

I'd still like to see the pass rush ramped up. Someone shouldn't be able to do a one step drop (slants) and allow the slant to run to the otherside of the field with no pressure.
