Yes, indeed. Seems like mainly competitive on-line, user vs user, and Cfm off-line. But yeah, either way EA has their hands full trying to make everyone happy. Overall madden is in a good place and making strides. Between D81SKINS default(or close to) all pro and scheme matching of 16 and this year charters all madden sliders, this has been an incredible game the last 2 years. The best actually. I've played since the original Madden on Sega btw

My hope is that over the next few years is that they can get to a place where with sliders and other adjustments each type of participant can enjoy the game the way they want. There are alot of moving parts to make it happen, but clearly they should be able to get the computer to perform in a manner consistent with NFL stats, stronger or weaker, to allow user v computer players to get the experience they want; user sliders/adjustments to make each aspect of the game easier or more difficult; ways for online competitive players to keep or disable some of the things that help or hinder their play and enjoyment. One way they could improve is more text around the sliders and what they do, which way to move to get effect and define which sliders are thresholded or provide graded responses. I'm not saying everyone will be satisfied but I think maybe some more transparency it may help people make those adjustments to get the game they want. I don't think it needs to be 3 games in 1, but one game that can work for everyone and not at the expense of certain players. Maybe someday.

Although to be totally honest, all madden plays great. Except for the cpu qb. But let's face it, that's an enormous part of the cpu offense. Everything else is actually really, really good. I was just so focused on one thing.

I simulated 10 franchise seasons and the "Number of times blocked" in Season Punting stats is always equal to 0 for all team; it isn't real! Is it a bug?

Very small sample size of one game on All Pro in Offline Franchise Mode but here's what I noticed playing as Cowboys vs. Skins. Of note, I installed the patch and then the tuner update after that. I had previously installed the tuner, but removed it because the gameplay was completely dead feeling. 1) The kick wind meter was correct & cpu punter actually properly sky kicked in 8 mph wind twice. 2) CPU defensive line broke blocks abit quicker. 3) I still got smoked on a stretch play, but I user missed a tackle. 4) I struggled to run the ball and usually I do fairly well. 5) CPU secondary reacted quicker to the pass. I suffered 2 QB fumbles and I am not one to hold the ball. Coverage was tight. 7) I actually lost the game........but don't tell anybody OK? Overall, the game played really well and I was surprised. Again, one game sample size.

I mentioned this earlier in this thread and nobody seemed to think it was a big deal, or just didn't notice my post, but man defense is suffering from an animation glitch that damn near breaks it since the patch came out. Basically when a corner breaks down in man defense against specific patterns, an animation begins that slides them 3-5 yards out of position. I first saw the animation glitch with corner's defending comeback routes. Now in the link below I saw it defending an out pattern.

My friends and I are all noticing it but nobody on operation sports has said a thing about it. We've seen it both in our connected franchise and in play now. We've also seen it on default sliders and custom sliders. Surely someone who runs a man defense can replicate this or has seen it!?

Can't see the video without being subed to your twitter.

That's probably why you got no answer.
