Can we please get some improvements to actual gameplay before we worry about new modes? Madden has struggled for years with the same problems. Even on max sliders 90+ over receivers can barely go a game without dropping a pass. Offensive linemen couldn’t block a peewee league player for more than two seconds. Running backs get tackled for a loss every other play. It’s ridiculous!

Hey all,
I've merged some of your posts together since they're all related to interceptions, sliders, and frequency of fumbles. We'll pass this feedback over to the team to be aware of. 👍- EA_Blueberry6 years ago

Hey Madden fans,
The Madden team provided this update around fumbles in today's title update.Tuning & Balancing:
Tuning around fumble rates and stiff-arm strength
DEV NOTE: We have heard our players’ voices relative to the frequency of fumbles and the power of the stiff-arm move. While this tuning will decrease some of the frustrations around fumbles and stiff arms globally, this is just the first step in a series of planned updates that will bring more exact situational tuning.
One important note regarding fumbles: the fumble rate for QB’s is higher intentionally, especially on Competitive game-style, in order to provide balance for scrambling QB’s.
You can avoid fumbling with your QB by using the QB Slide mechanics: either tap the dive button while NOT holding down the Acceleration burst button; or hold both Acceleration Burst AND the Precision Modifier and tap the dive button to slide with your QB. A similarly useful counter to the stiff-arm move is the cut stick tackle, which can be activated by flicking down on the tackle stick.
