Swimming towards the present – I like Madden26 | EA Boards

I’ve performed Madden since 04 and NCAA/CFB since 2003.  I’m probably not a “gamer”, I primarily play Madden, CFB and NBA 2k however I’m an informal in 2k.  I’ve performed on All-Madden for over 20 years, primarily an offline recreation, nearly by no means play on-line h2h or multiplayer leagues.

Madden 26’s gameplay is basically good.  I personal the sport on PC, listed below are some issues I like:

• I like the motion system and footplanting.
• Stunts, Coverage shells, protection coach changes (security midpoint, depth, security break up)
• Playbooks are nice.  Lots of movement, which matches the NFL.  I want the movement had been a bit smoother typically, but it surely’s leaps and bounds forward of Madden22/23
• Hit sticks are tougher to land
• Graphics on PC are completely wonderful, recreation runs very well (4090, 9800x3d, DDR5 RAM 6000 mts).  I can hit 60FPS and keep beneath 40% GPU utilization at 1440p.
• Player likeness is basically bettering.  Playing with Kyler Murray, his working model seems to be JUST like him.
  • Pre-play stances are cool, want extra.
  • We want extra QB cadences which are actual voices.
• Multiple broadcast groups!
• Different presentation packages for Monday, Thursday & Sunday evening – superior
• Intros are nice particularly the evening ones.  Mascots are a pleasant contact.

Things that should be improved or added:

• Game has to inform a means higher story in-game.  Tracking RB’s approaching 100 yards, receivers attending to 100 yards.  and so on – each recreation has it is personal story and the sport simply fails to do that.
• Please add DLSS to Madden on PC.  I see that FIFA/FC is getting DLSS assist, I hope this involves CFB & Madden.
• Safeties in a deep center or outdoors zone (cowl 1 or cowl 2 man) are simply actually unhealthy.  They by no means drive on the ball, they’re principally solely there to cease go routes… they’re nugatory vs the submit.
• Jump ball is principally non-existent on all-madden.
• CPU working recreation was actually unhealthy mid-cycle, however a current patch fastened it.  We want the CPU floor recreation to nonetheless be higher.
• I do know there’s a ‘timing based mostly’ knockout system, however how precisely does it work?  Are you imagined to press ‘play receiver’ or ‘swat ball’?  How do I do know if I hit the button early or late?
• You actually need to discover a system that lets you enter all of your nfl mix face scans into the sport for EVERY participant.  I perceive that your present system is time/labor intensive.  I actually hope you’ll be able to discover a new system that may permit the face scan for each participant.
• CPU QB play is sweet, however we want much more traits to make them stand out.
• Player emotion post-play improved in M24 (or perhaps it was M23), however we want audio.  I do not want it to sound just like the mic is true subsequent to the participant, but when a participant makes an enormous play and jumps up and screams a war-cry, I can hear that on the TV broadcast in actual life, I want to have the ability to hear it within the recreation.
• Designed Bootleg/rollouts want a separate coach adjustment.  Allow me to have my DE’s keep dwelling or crash – this mimics an actual life coach adjustment that each Defensive Coordinator has to determine.  If I see the DE crashing down on the unblocked bottom, let me hit him with a rollout or break up zone him.
