Madden
Here are my issues with Madden that need to be addressed for the IMMEDIATE future
Blocking - is atrocious to say the least. Inside zone & especially base the o-line pulling never leads up in the hole. I've seen o-lineman literally run off the field or block another d-lineman already being blocked. I've even seen them pull and block a CB already being blocked by a WR. Instead of picking up the defender they are supposed to block. How on earth are safeties and CB playing in sub packages shedding blocks better than linebackers? The impact block especially against sub package players is terrible. Those smaller players should be getting steam rolled. And let's not even get into pass blocking. People rush 3 defenders against 5-6 blockers and get better pressure on the QB like an all out blitz. 3 rushing down lineman is a conservative coverage defense that shouldn't get any pressure. The blocking needs to be reprogrammed from the ground up. I can't even use 12 personel or play action heavy offense because the blocking is so bad.
Psychic DB - U finally got rid of psychic DB play against man coverage. But it's still happening against zone coverage and when the QB scrambles. I can throw a pass against zone and these DB's will be running full speed covering the WR. Once the ball is released from the QB's hands they will whip around full speed. Backs were turned they were not even looking at the QB. How on earth can they make a play on the ball when they shouldn't even know it's been thrown?
Unrealistic X-factor abilities - Franchise Mode we don't want unrealistic abilities like Bazooka, Film Study, Omaha, Truzz, etc These are unrealistic and should stay in Ultimate Team only. And if u do have these abilities make them harder to get. Omaha should be attained at 3 straight passes over 25 yards in the air. Make it tough for these abilities to trigger.
User control/Cpu control - This game makes u jump when I don't want to. My WR should jump when I press the button to make him jump. To many animations make my player jump on routine catches where He doesn't need to. And he drops the ball because catch in traffic has always been terrible in these games.
Button change - The swat and interception buttons on defense should be 2 different buttons. To many times I get an animation swatting the ball whenI have a wide open interception. L1/L2 on defense should be swat and triangle interception just like the old days. Let the users decide the outcome of these games.
Pursuit - It's ridiculously horrible. Linebackers just run through holes blindly no read & react. WR catch the ball and the DB chasing him gets that weird animation where he runs underneath the ball carrier.
Alignment - How many times do players run into each other? I try to run man coverage and my DB is way off to the side giving the WR an inside or outside release. Half of my time is spent fixing alignment on defense but then my opponent snaps the ball.
Pass trajectory is still terrible no matter the settings. The ball is still too low and even on deep passes the ball is always short. It only goes over the CB when u high point the ball. And when u do that the ball goes over the WR head. Or u get an animation where the WR jumps and once the DB touches him, the WR drops the ball. This is infuriating.
This is how QB's should look. Look at the trajectory of the ball, look at how the QB is able to move around in the pocket. The QB actually has a pocket and the o-line actually blocks for him. Look at the speed of the ball being passed. They don't need Gunslinger or Pass Lead Elite to throw the ball with zip on it.
Why can't we have this type of QB play, WR play, and o-line blocking with Madden graphics and deeper franchise modes like Madden's of the past?
