Maybe, but do you see the variety? I don't. Before the tuner, I had a hard time bringing power backs down. I loved it. Now, it doesn't matter the size of the back or the strength of the back. Every back I play against feels the same. I don't feel like I have to load up the box to stop the big boys anymore. I don't feel like I have to substitute my big men in to make a goal line stand against the run. The strategy is gone. It's bland.

Don't forget the catching. Now WR catch everything unless a scripted animation kick in to drop the ball. Before they ball would just get loose. Loved it.

I haven't seen much difference pre-tuner vs post tuner as far as variety goes.

I recognize people have different experiences with the game.

I know there some slider makers applauding the changes with the tuner and I know some of the slider makers that are now applauding, they were leery of tuner changes in the past.

I can remember when I bought the game. Should I do this? How long will I be able to enjoy the game play before EA starts making unnecessary changes and spoiling it. I understand that they have to do the things necessary to keep the revenue flowing. However, there could be more of a balance.

Road, these are the same slider makers touting the tuner that touted The changes made last year, that made the game crap. I don't care how you swing it. Madden 16 was a great game in the beginning, and EAs changes, by the end of the cycle turned the game into a complete mess

It seriously sucks that they cut our access to the roster shares and commentary downloads if we don't have the latest patch. We should be able to play our way instead of having to play EA ball. It's the same pattern year end and year out. It infuriates me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

And yet we keep feeding them money. So in EA's eyes, they have a pattern for success.

Well, that's true. I've been playing football games since I was about 2 feet tall. I can't imagine life without them. I just can't understand why EA has to make these drastic changes. Last year, and I put more time into the game then probably any year, because, I was doing FBG rosters; I literally did not recognize madden 16 by the end of the year. I put all that work into those rosters, and never could get through a game, because the gameplay was so stale

On another note. Has anyone noticed that the swat mechanic is not as effective anymore? I've noticed if I try to play a ball in the air with the swap mechanic my defender just sits on his haunches. Again, another unnecessary change.
