Ryan Moody killing this game, lmaooooo. Footage speaks for itself though. The game deserves most of the praise and a majority of it's criticism.
Two things are starting to really stand out to me. The CPU on offense (regardless of team or QB) runs so many shallow crossing routes, which lead to the very high completion percentages. Mix that in with watching my defenders be slower to react when in zone coverage. I'm see the CPU throw for really low YPA stats.
My CPU controlled WRs are not nearly aggressive enough when the ball is in the air. I threw a deep post route against a single high safety. First time my WR ignored the ball and just ran his route. He didn't make a play for the ball until he was already behind the safety who had a play on it. Threw the same thing again and this time I took control of the WR ran across the face of the safety and made the catch. I would like to see my WR be as aggressive as I was or the CPU DB was for balls like that.
Another play I had my WR breaking in and the CB sitting in cover 3 inside of him. As soon as I threw the ball I knew it would be intercepted. But my WR ran his route like he still had a chance and the ball and rather than "turn into a defender" and go to make a play on the DB he ran his route and went into a catch animation despite being behind the DB with no chance at the ball.
Enjoy the game its fun, but I really want to see them invest in improving the WR/DB interaction for 16 because on the outside and in the passing game the game is starting to feel like "Madden" again.

Let me preface this again by saying this is hands down the best Madden I have ever played and quite frankly the best console football game as well. It is light years ahead of last gen.
But some warts are showing and I am believing this team will address them in next years game because a super solid foundation is now in place. OL/DL is really magnificent. truly awesome and a game within a game now.
However WR/DB interactions must be a huge focus next season. This is the area that is a killer right now. The cpu WR's are not fighting for the ball and therefore making the deep ball difficult this year. I like to not user catch...but I am getting to a point where when I get a WR open on a post or flag....I may start taking control of them to make the catch...because they are not making enough of an effort.
It is what it is.
Also AI is questionable in short yardage and goaline situations. This needs to be tuned. Will EA use game tuners this year?
Sacks and pass rush are overpowered this year. It needs a nerf on a patch. But not too much. Just balance it. QB's pocket awareness is off as well and I have been forced to do QB edits to rectify this. Problem is 4-5 years into CFM rookie QB's will populate the league and you can't edit them within CFM....another area EA needs to give us control again. We should be able to edit ratings in CFM whenever we want. Please give us that back.
But still a wonderful game, a huge improvement from all the average to uninspired games from last gen save for M10, 12 and 25.

They have one goal, internet fame. No thanks.

What i don't get about the WR aggresion is, sometimes they fight for the jump balls and sometimes they don't.
Sometimes I almost think all our slider tweaking has unintended results. Don't know.
WR/DB interaction and QB decision making have to be primary focuses next year, if they can not be patched this year.

The time isn't balanced so they run a ton of plays. They've never fixed that.

1. Is it just me or does shade inside, shade outside, shade underneath, shade over the top and protect the sticks don't seem to work ? If anything it seems to make the CPU WRs get open even more wide open then they normally be.
2. I am really getting highly annoyed by WRs momentum carrying them out of bounds on drag routes and out routes. Same thing happens when I try to dump the ball to my HB or FB.
3. I swear there is a delay at times when it comes to the USER controlling a player. A lot of times I want to make a cut or a turn but the player don't immediately respond. I noticed this when I want to throw a stiff arm too. Half the time nothing happens. And on running plays up the middle, half the time I feel as though I am sucked into the butt of my blockers, like I have no control of the player until he is into the back of the blockers.
I noticed you really notice this lack of control when you play as a lower rated team. I just played as the Raiders and it was TERRIBLE. Felt like half the time I had zero control of what my players were doing.
4. Speaking of the Raiders, this brings me to offensive linemen who don't BLOCK ANYBODY on running plays or passing plays. They just stand there and let a defender run right passed them. I don't know if the Raiders offensive line is that bad or what, but that crap was happening every play. Every cut scene I would watch the right tackle and left guard just constantly not block anybody, just standing there clueless.
5. At first I just thought it was buzz zones, but I am starting to think all zones simply don't work. Once again, unless the Raiders are simply that damn bad. They couldn't cover anybody and made Phillip Rivers look like Tom Brady in his prime, even with a 10 throwing accuracy.
I swear this Chargers vs Raiders game playing as the Raiders was the most irritating game I ever played.

Zones still may be broken, but the Raiders may be a poor test case.

4 years and they haven't touched that mode. Lame.

Alright looking at the Raiders rosters in the manage roster area.
They are rated 72, the lowest rated team in the game.
Matt Schaub has a very weak arm, which would explain why all his deep passes were under thrown.
Maurice Jones-Drew has very low ratings, lower then I thought he would have, that would explain why I couldn't run for crap with him.
Piss poor WRs, which would explain why they took forever to get open and dropped so many passes.
Their starting right tackle has 57 AWARENESS, WTF. No wonder he was just standing there every play not blocking anybody. And their starting left guard has poor blocking stats, which would explain why people ran right by him with ease.
Both of their outside linebackers have very low awareness.
Other then the 2 starting CB, all the rest of the CB have very low awareness.
So in a nut shell, the Raiders really are that damn bad. Holy crap.
