Running the ball fells impossible to do in this game. Last sever games I have played with run blocking at 60 on all pro and I am still only getting 2-3 yards attempt and I am seeing so many runs where my RB is getting hit like has soon has he gets the ball. I don't know how any body can run on all pro or all madden default. Guys in this game just do not block at all. The run blocking needs a lot of work.

Your offensive line ratings matter now. If they're not that good then the holes are simply going to be smaller and three yards a pop is going to be about what you're going to get.
The number of players the CPU has in the box is very important too. If they have you outnumbered then one of those LB's or Safeties is probably going to come free and blow you up in the backfield. If they've got 8 in the box all game then you're really going to have loosen them up with the pass to get them to pull that other safety back otherwise there is going to be nothing in the run game.
In past Maddens it was never a good idea to use speed burst in the backfield before you got to the line of scrimmage because that always made the CPU defenders come off their man and tackle you. Now on many runs you need to accelerate through that hole immediately or you aren't going to get any yards. Other runs you've got to wait for that blocker to kick his guy out then burst through.
The regular and precision jukes and trucks are a must to get the best out of the run game. It's tough to get loose without using them.
I'm really liking the run game this year.

It was actually 4.2 - which might not sound like a lot more - but makes a big difference over the course of a game.
http://www.pro-football-reference.co...#rushing::none
I'm struggling to get to that average at the moment - but I put that down to my stick skills not the game....
First Madden game I have bought since 13 in 2012 and while EA has been criticised for years pertaining to NFL football, this year's game is absolutely great. Madden '07 is still the best Madden game ever, IMHO.
Anyways, my favorite addition to 16 has to be the new catching mechanics. The fact that we get to choose between possession, RAC, and aggressive catching is astounding. I also enjoy how run-blocking works as my goaline run/5 wide offense sets has done wonders for me and I've won five straight ranked games after starting 5-6. Defense has also been great too (holding online opponents to 14 ppg) but I can't really comment too much on it since I have yet to test it out in Skills Trainer. The game modes are fun too and MUT is a fresher from the joke of a mode that Nba 2k15 put out called "My Team".
Only flaw I could say is the constant "Moss'n" that happens on deep ball throws. It's one thing to get beat 1v1 deep by Dez, Megatron, or Demaryius (GO Broncos!!!) but it's total bull**** to get beat like that by Devante Adams, Marques Colston, or Pierre Garçon.

Just got the game and hopping into my first game, Lions (me) vs Bengals.
Graphics are awesome, best ever in the series.
Post-play transitions to the next play seem smoother, less awkward pauses.
Gang tackling also seems improved.
Just saw a Bengals WR and Lions CB arguing after the play and the Bengals WR pushed the DB by the helmet away, awesome.
Presentation is even better, the QB intros are awesome.
On my first offensive drive, the Lions moved easily downfield. An incompletion by Stafford forced third and goal. I threw a short pass to Tate. The ball was underthrown so Tate had to come back for it and he was tackled shy of the first,, forcing me to settle for 3.
Slick one handed catch by Eiftert in double coverage, not an ODB catch but he used his height advantage over 2 shorter defenders to jump and get it.
Spectacular catch by AJ Green puts the Bengals on the 1.
Hill runs it in for 1 YD TD on toss.
Simms mentions longer PAT, pretty cool.
I've seen 2 penalties so far, holding on a running play and during a kickoff (both on offense.)
Lions drive downfield and take the lead on an 18 yard TD pass to Fuller.
Little thing but I like how the coaching headsets have the Bose logo.
Josh Bynes down with an injury after making a tackle.
Crowd chanting defense on third down.
Seeing some nice incomplete passes.
Another offensive holding call.
Interception by Tulloch stops the Lions on third and goal!
Not finding any running room, Bell is 9 for 24.
Johnson with a clutch catch on third down.
Lions run out clock, kick FG with 20 seconds left.
Two hail mary attempts both to Green, both times DB knocks ball out of Green's hands.
Third HM also incomplete, Lions win 13-7.
I didn't see any sacks or any penalties other than offensive holding. Too early to give full impressions. I thought my offense moved too easily sometimes. Thanks to his INT and three consecutive incompletions, Dalton finished wiht a comp. % if 55 %. Stafford finished 82.3 % complete.
Bell finished 16 for 55, 3.4 avg.
Hill finished 10/32.
I think the game is good, gameplay seems cleaner, I'm going to play a second game now.

I was having a great defensive game against the Titans in my Raiders CFM but then the drive goal bug hit and all my players had over a 100 in more than a few categories. I really hope a patch comes out soon to fix this issue.

I like the way the run game is. Sometimes just like in a real game the Rb has to make one guy miss. I've had games where I've had 150+ rushing, others only about 50 ish as a team.
My Impression of the Game:
Its like they replaced the canned tackling animations and replaced it with canned WR/DB interactions
Literally took the stick skills out of the game.
Why EA, Why?

Lower rated safeties are making the same plays as Kam Chancellor and Jarius Byrd. Same with DB's and their interactions.
Just what I'm seeing

H2H play, always a thousand issues. Luckily I'm not seeing this at all in my User v CPU games.
Help please. I'm playing on the xbox 360 and am having some trouble. I'm in connected franchise and was hoping to see the combine scouting reports but haven't found any yet. Is that only for the xbox one and newer generation consoles?

All in all it's a great game. the biggest negative is the CFM bugs. After playing some mut and champs draft, I'm dead keen to start a cfm.
the balance of play is pretty much excellent imo. it's mostly realistic, and it's just about always fun.
my last 3 games have been just all extremes and opposites.
Bears (me) def GB 20 - 17. Rodgers & cutler both threw for 3 ints. The running games were stuffed with 60 yards for me, 80 for them. Cutler threw a 48 yard TD to Alshon as time ran out to win the game for me after I dominated them 10-nil until the 4th qtr.
Cowboys (me) lost 28 - 38 to Pats. Just all offense, Bolden on 3rd and 12 at nil-all deep in the 2nd qtr broke off a 74 yard TD run, and from there it was all offense.
I was down 28 - 31 at the 2 min warning in my own 20 and threw a pick 6 with romo to lose the game.
Chiefs 17 def (me) Steelers 16. In this one, the passing games were totally shut down (both teams around 100 yards passing) as the CPU chiefs put up 316 yards rushing up while I racked up 220 yards.
Charles put up an 82 yard TD run early in the 4th on a 3rd and 16 when I sent the house after him. I kicked a FG with 3 mins left and KC just killed the clock with Knile and JC ...
It's a super fun game this year. so many little things happening, it's not funny.
So far my only vomplaint is some of the WR stuff is a bit overdone. In my MUT, I have devante adams as my WR ... and he seems way over powered. He's turned into a clone between Dez and Odell and is bringing down everything for me.
not sure if it's just a mut thing, though.

So far I am REALLY impressed with madden 16. I have to say i was expecting another updated roster and same game play from last year. Not so much IMO this game has me wanting to come back for more and i haven't thought that since madden08. I just finished my 5th exhibition game (no i haven't been able to play a lot) and im waiting for the 1st patch and roster update to start MUT/CF but man im impressed! 1st the game looks gorgeous,stadiums are detailed player faces look good for once along with models and the game play is tight. I love all the little things like QB walking up to the huddle,player interactions,new WR catches and pass game. In all im diggin this years madden so far and very much pleased!!! Keep at it EA
