Yeah I have a defense with about 6 99 overalls and I still can't keep QBs from throwing 80% some games. Like a below average starter like Johnny Manziel is dropping dimes on me with stupid slant routes, curls, and practically anything to the TE

One thing I've learned about Madden is that All-Madden seems to cheat. And I don't mean that literally, but I'd have a run and have Thomas, Yanda, Mathis, and some other elite run blockers, but my guy gets dropped for a loss. I'd have Drew Brees and Brandon Marshall and I'd throw interceptions on like every pass. 

The way I beat All-Madden was literally blitz on every play and run draws/slants. It was some BS.

Oddly enough, All-Madden was a 15 across the board and the highest it could go was 20 across the board for its skill meter. When I would customize it to be 20's across the board, I'd win by like 70. Made no sense and just furthered that Madden made All-Madden nearly impossible.

Yeah on defense I play in a 5-2 and blitz every down. Then at about my own 20 I play cover-4 on passing downs then go back to the blitz on run downs or short yardage situations. I just upgrade man coverage traits in the secondary and my MLB. The will blitzes along with all the DL. Practically any coverage and Cover-2 or Cover-3 Man coverage is worthless against an offense playing with the supernatural ability of All-Madden.

Like I said, it's weird because All-Madden is like 15 overall, 15 pass, 15 run, 15 pass defense, 15 run defense, but I can't do a damn thing. When I set all those to 20, I win by 70. Something about All-Madden is just nearly impossible. It's like the All-Stars are playing toddlers.

What do you mean 15 overall? Do you mean the gameplay sliders? I don't mess with those typically

Yes. The game presets those for rookie, pro, all-pro, and all-madden. The last is set to 15, but you can go as high as 20. I used to play on 20, no issue, but All-Madden was way too much 

[ludy51]

Yeah. I play on high-slider all-pro. Feel fairer

Makes sense. Have y'all found out the toss plays are nearly unstoppable? Or one cut backs like Demarco Murray break practically all one-man tackles? Even if it's somebody like Kuechly

You shouldn't have to commit a team to one side to stop a toss.  And the problem is if you are good enough to stop it yourself, all they have to do is run it to the other side.

A fast tight end is unstoppable too because Linebackers can't cover anything that breaks to the sideline

Zone coverage is broken also.

Inside the 20, it's unbeatable

Unless if the QB has like 10 seconds to throw...

I think this could be an interesting question. What's one thing you want to see improved in Madden 17?

I haven't bought a Madden in a very long time because they always had the same exact feel, just updated rosters.

One thing I really liked, as odd as this may be, with old Madden games, you could build literally everything and set every single price (beer, food, tickets). 

I just want it be a little more real. Are they still having the vacuum tackling issue? And why if I play as a 99 DE against a 75 RT is he able to stonewall me on almost every single snap I play as a DE? That type of stuff made me mad where the AI seemed to be on steroids if faced with a human.

More than one thing but...

More scheme and body type emphases

more love for speed players

not having every team have a 99 QB after 3 or 4 franchise seasons

Not having every draft have some low 90's speed excellent mid round QB

harder draft scouting

Player "attitude" ratings leading to arrests or suspensions

contract re-negotiations

harder kicking

First person mode

Division and Conference editor abilities (like in NCAA)

Creating a team

Improved trench play

I want ratings to matter more.  

 

I want the AI to smarten the hell up if someone's running the same exact play every down.

 

I want cover 4 to actually cover out breaking routes.

 

I miss the college stats and career highlights for a player coming out the draft.

 

How about the game working properly, no more freezing or broken drafts.  If I paused it, sometimes the draft would completely mess up and I'd have to Sim the whole thing.

 

Music selection.  The game is 60 dollars.  Why is it so hard now to get a decent sound track.  2k has this perfect, I think.

 

I could wrote an essay if I start getting into complaints.

I really enjoyed the Madden 16 soundtrack, but yea, 2K is always on another level.

I'm in like year 2027 in my franchise and I still can't find good sliders. I don't know if I'm really good or if the sliders just suck. I'm tired of going 16-0 every season.

Maybe you should coach the Ravens for real 

[TheRavenouseD2008]

My all time favorite thing about 2k on the first xbox was you could use ripped songs  to make sound tracks for your stadium .  Back then I had us coming out to Crush em by megadeth

 

[Deflated Football]

I think I'm done with Madden 16. Onto beating some other games I haven't touched until Madden 17 comes out. 

[TheRavenouseD2008]

Ok EA did a small update recently for my xbox one the game is freezing locking and even went to the point of having REALLY weird physics issues  such as balls  in 4mph winds acting like they are shot out of a cannon ....... I mean tucker could probably hit a 80 yarder but the second you try to use that wind for a field goal it instantly shifts against you in the same quarter .
