In my career mode, you can see the player's breath, and all the camera guys on the sidelines are wearing shorts.
I feel like that's an easy fix.

I don't need a replica of the real world. I game to get out of the real world. That's just me though.
Sure I could sit down with the game and find a ton of things off after a year and heck even before.... that's not fun for me.
The day I get that way or have anger issues with a game is the day I hope my wife shoots me.

Is it just me or is the turbo button nothing but a quick acceleration boost (at least for ball carriers)? Top speed seems to be the same whether or not you're holding turbo. I remember a pre game tip in NCAA Football 14 saying something like this, but I haven't paid attention during gameplay until tonight.

And when you're playing against elite QBs, the ridiculousness goes the other way. They can't miss. At halftime of my current game, I have 6 sacks (I raised the CPU pass blocking up and it doesn't seem to help much, but I'm certainly not on pace for the unfathomable total of 18 that I amassed against the Bears) on Brees, and have to have hit him at least a dozen times on his throws. Does it affect him? No. It does not. His statline is 28-31 375yd 2TD 1 INT. Why does stamina still not matter for QBs? If you get hit 20 times by lineman you're not only going to get very tired and rattled, but you're probably going to get injured. Madden's QBs are complete iron men...until they cross the line of scrimmage. Then they can't help but get themselves hosed off the turf. But in the pocket? Immune to pain. Looks like Welker isn't the only person who has been taking amphetamines....
I'm still enjoying the game but it's been a challenge to find the right difficulty, sliders, and (what they can't fix) house rules. It's a fun game but legacy problems are still there. I'm at my wits end trying to find a setting that won't lead to robo qb's or Qb's that will not throw for 10 yards or less or can make a decision instead of taking 10 sacks a game. Pretty annoying but the game is fun. I definitely don't find it sim (which is my jam) but it is scratching my football itch.

Read that entire post in Ron Swanson's voice. 😂
I agree though. All Pro is too easy while All Madden is not too difficulty, but entirely too glitchy. CPU AI is broken so I'm not sure we'll ever get a proper challenge.
-CPU QB don't go through progressions they just hit the wide open man or take a sack.
-CPU HB can't find holes.
-CPU WR don't fight for the ball.
-CPU DL don't use correct moves.
-No clear separation between fast and slow players even with the threshold at 0.
I'm still enjoying the game, but I'm not sure how much longer it'll be before it begins to get stale. Hopefully CFM can keep my interest.

My biggest issue is that Play Now and CFM play totally different with exact same slider settings.
Just don't get that at all.
I know I seen a post about the same thing with practice mode.
Oh well.. I'll just keep testing (even though I'm pretty much done testing) through my CFM.

What camera view do you play on?

Ever since, I have started up bogus franchises to sort out the sliders/settings....of course that opens up a new can of variables like hot/cold streaks etc.

Offensively from a USER standpoint, the game is as good as it's ever been. On the other hand, defense is NOT fun. I average 6-10 sacks a game and I don't even use a DL or camera lock. Really, why should we be surprised? What was the "feature" last year? True Step and the running game. Adrian Peterson on "wins" the cover vote. What was overpowered last year? Yep. The running game. What is the new feature this year? Defense and make defense fun. Richard Sherman "wins" the cover vote. What happened? They improved zone coverage and they dumbed down the CPU QB to make it appear as if defense reigns in M15.
This game is NOT balanced. I remember seeing a video where the devs said they were watching games and if the stats weren't balanced they would tune it. Really? How many people does it take to notice the ridiculous number of sacks? What about the constant check down routes completed for 5 yards on 3rd and 10 or more? Does the CPU QB go through a progression?
Hoping for a patch that could easily make this the best Madden ever...

Been playing it the last few days, I've enjoyed the gameplay to an extent. I've never cared about the equipment but their lack of equipment and the abnormal size of some facemasks is pretty disappointing.

I just have to say it would be a disservice to us as fans and to this game for EA/Tiburon not to give it's all in patches for this game. It has TOO much potential to be a great Madden game. All the elements are there besides obvious things that aren't patchable. I really hope EA can put some healthy patches into this game because for the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm getting my football fix. There are moments when I'm just simply fully satisfies playing this game. That hasn't happened in YEARS with Madden.

I use a lower tackling slider with it set to 35. suction tackling isn't something I'm noticing.
for most issues there are sliders that can minimise or completely solve issues, which is why what sage is saying is the troof.
a few savvy patches, and this game will have replay value all the way until next year's release. Something no madden I can think of, could say the same thing.

Still having a blast with the game. You just have to get your sliders by testing them in a cfm.
Luckily I did all my testing through CFM once I got the game.
Would have been nice to be able to use Play Now for testing but not a huge deal to me but just makes it a bit harder to test.
