Madden '17
Anyone getting a little excited? Seems like they have really made an effort this year.
Franchise mode is getting an overhaul according to recent news: 1. Full player editing while your franchise is progressing. 2. Coaching/FO decisions. 3. In-game ticker with live updates. 4. Practice squads. 5. New commentary team that will actually talk about things happening in your franchise. 6. Draft has been tweaked with more busts/gems. Gameplay improvements: 1. Zone Coverage overhaul. 2. New ball-carrier special moves. 3. Real gap control on defense. 4. Real ball physics. In the past the ball would tether to a player based on ratings. They also overhauled kicking to make it a challenge now. There's a new three-click system and weather/location will play a factor. Also, apparently on clutch kicks if the opponent "freezes" the kicker by calling a timeout the kicking meter will disappear and you have to make the kick by muscle memory. Kicks and punts can also be blocked. How badly all of this shit is ****ed up on release remains to be seen but it does seem like they are making a big effort. |

I swear you'd think we'd have the worst DL and pass rush. I'm on All-Pro and I can't get pressure from my line worth a ****.

But yeah, zone blitzes seem to be the way to go to get pressure for the most part anyway. |

Anyway, after starting 0-4 I've gone on a 7-1 run thanks to the #1 defense in the league. One game ahead of the 6-6 Raiders and Broncos, with both on the schedule. Hope I don't choke. Last edited by Hammock Parties; 09-06-2016 at 10:34 AM.. |

Well this was embarrassing. 24-10 lead and I choke in the fourth quarter with FOUR turnovers.
First I threw a stupid pick on a hitch route. Led the receiver inside instead of outside. That makes it 24-17. On the ensuing kickoff, DAT fumbles. Chargers tie it up. 24 all and I throw a slant to DAT that gets picked because he doesn't look for the ball. 31-24. Alex throws a pick on a pitiful deep ball. 34-24. Robby Chase comes in and leads a TD drive but too little, too late. I complete a "Alex Smith throws no interceptions" drive goal because HE'S SITTING ON THE BENCH. The AFC West is a shitshow.

So really, Martyball is the way you should be doing this.
Because it doesn't sound like you can score points for shit. Nor does it appear the opponent is capable of scoring them unless you provide an assist (which Clay Bono appears all too willing to do). 3 yards and a cloud of dust - it's really your only shot.

also interesting note: it's impossible to kick in the snow in Buffalo. the CPU and I both missed FGs horribly. I even missed an XP, which really annoyed me since i hit it perfect.

Is there some kind of 'experience' category that Santos sucks in to make that miss?
Because that seems like a whole load of bullshit. It's a videogame and execution should matter. You executed perfectly and the game told you to get ****ed anyway. Now if there's some variable that makes Santos ill-suited for even trying that kick and you chose to keep him on your roster, that's part of the 'execution' as part of the sim is roster building. But if essentially any kicker you'd have had back there would've shanked that ball, that's a bug.
