I stopped playing Madden years ago, but I post this for you all who still love and play it.

What I found both hilarious and sad at the same time, was that the lone Ravens highlight shows Matt Elam missing a tackle....

:grbac:

Hahahaha the Elam clip is classic.

FWIW - I found Madden 16 to be a very good game. I hadn't bought since Madden 13 cause I was sick of EA's shit, but said fuck it last year and I was impressed. Still a lot of room for improvement.

I haven't sprung for a new system yet.

Maybe now I will. I still play the last NCAA College Football game (NCAA 14), so the fact that I can still play that on Xbox 1 is a plus for me.

I mentioned it in another thread but they finally added a 10 man practice squad.

I usually wait till the price drops and pick up on the cheap, and don't buy every year. oh, but Madden 16 is pretty accurate on our secondary we usually blow at least 1 deep easy pass each game and no one covers AJ Green.

Overwatch is fun.

As part of the Dynasty/Career mode?

Yeah.

They also added a "Big Decision" factor. Which isn't really "new". It's for cutting players, re-signing, free agency and playing injured players, but apparently it's going to be a big focus, so rather than going into the menu, going to re-sign players, it makes it part of the flow of the offseason. I think it's cool. Makes team management a bigger function and not an accessory to the game.

practice squad is great and they also have this new "Focus development" where you can pick up to 3 guys to really develop so I'm assuming it will escalate their ratings. So essentailly you could do that with a promising practice squad guy. Very cool features for team management.

I'm still playing Madden on the PS2.

**GreatWhiteNorthRaven** · 06-15-2016, 02:38 PM

I still play NCAA 07 on my PS2.

So much fun. You could do your own guy and pick your own major and stuff. Made it more dynamic.

I still play the NHL series on my PS2 as well. Way deeper franchise mode.

Honestly, EA needs to do A LOT to salvage their ability to make sports games. NBA2k embarrases them every year. If 2k made NHL or NFL it would be insanely good.

EA sports is in serious trouble. The NBA live franchise is pretty much dead. They're not even making a console version this year. The NHL live franchise has gotten better, but up until NHL 16 it was pretty awful on next gen consoles. The only thing keeping EA sports alive IMO is Madden. And that's the same shit every year.

I'd love to see what SCEA (makers of the show) could do with an NFL game. Hopefully EA Sports and the NFL don't agree to a new licensing deal when it ends (in 2017 I think). Competition would only be a good thing.

FIFA, in particular Ultimate Team, is making them a huge amount of money.

Agree with you on the exclusive license - NFL 2K5 is still the best NFL game I've ever played.
