Madden 15

Interesting timing, since EA's contract with the NFL ends next year.
 
I'm excited about buying this game once I finish The Last Of Us. I'm wanting to beat that game and wait and see how good Destiny is before I spend $70 on a game
 
Heads up to ultimate team players. ..for the next 19 hours you can buy 3 All-Pro packs for 24500 coins or 350 points (each). Contains at least 3 gold or elite and a mix of 7 others. I got all 3. Best player it gave me was 86 ovr Champ Bailey.

I sprung for this. No elites. A couple decent golds but no real difference makers.
 
This game is garbage. I feel like I have no control over my player. They are either slow to respond, ir don't do anything. I literally fumble EVERY DRIVE. It's getting old. I swear I'm about to throw my controller through my tv. I'm not the best player, but I'm not bad by any means, but this thing will not let me out score my opponents. At first I started thinking maybe I'm pressing L1, so I quit pressing L2, but that's not it. Thought maybe it's my controller, but it is fine on other games. I can't get a pick to save my life. I've missed so many it ain't even funny. When I tackle, especially hit stick, it does not bring the runner down. When I try and change to closest guy it puts me farther away.

I'm losing my mind. Is anyone else having problems like this?

I don't know what to tell you man. I am not having those issues.

Nope. Who you playing with?
 
Panthers, but it's the same in mut. Also use them there too. Maybe I'll try another team. I dunno it's just strange. I can't explain. Very, very frustrating.

Ratings are really important in this game. Such as a running back with a 60 carrying will fumble it significantly more than one with a 90 carrying rating and so on. Switch assist might help with that last on, it's default setting is off. You could try messing around with the sliders too.
 
It's not just the fumbling.while it is b.s. It's defense too. It's the pursuit, poor tackling not switching, not responding to intercept pass. Like I said I can't explain, but it's kinda like the guy I'm controlling is being over ridden by crappy cpu ai. My guys aren't smooth. Feel sluggish and sticky, but my opponents are fluid and responsive. Is it possible my game is screwed up?
 
The tackling would go along with lower tackling ratings result in more missed tackles. The tackle cone can help get you used to knowing when you can hit stick. But if it's none of that my first plan would be to uninstall it and then install it again back onto your system
 
If that doesn't work I would see if I could rent or another copy or something and try it out and if it works fine you know it's just your disk
 
Started out 3-0 in head to head season and havent even given up a single point yet. My team is 76 overall. My defense is averaging like 3 picks a game. I just get up a few scores and turn chew clock on and its game over.

Have you played through all the skills trainer? I suggest doing that.

Nice! I will probably play some more seasons this weekend.
 
2nd try at head to head seasons on mut. I have lost so many games by 5 points or less. strangely enough my defense is really solid, it's my offense that struggles. I'm still around a 75 overall and have good players, I just suck at passing. Most times I'll just run the ball an entire half and use a lot of play action. I really need a better qb I guess.

Same here man. I just received Jay Cutler the other day (81 overall) so hopefully that will help me some.

I like to run a lot of HB screens and keep the TE heavily involved. It keeps everything open. Dont fall in to the trap of throwing bombs every time. Thats how people I've played have lost.

Nah I use mostly slants or crossing routes. I don't have great luck with the hb screens, but I should probably use them more anyway. I really like the read option too. It's really effective for me, I just don't like running with josh mccown. My rb isn't that great either, just a Benard pierce, who is average at a lot of things.

Finally just had a good offensive game. Threw 3 touchdowns, 2 to Stevie Johnson and one to Sammy Watkins. Won 24-3. Got 2 user picks. I'm finally learning to user the middle better. It helps a lot with zone defense.
