[h2]  [/h2][h2]Features[/h2]

Be the playmaker in Madden NFL 16 with all-new controls that allow you to dominate in the battle for air supremacy. New QB mechanics including body-relative throws and touch passes provide unprecedented depth and control while under center. Combined with a new risk/reward catch and pass-defend system, get ready for the biggest WOW moments in franchise history.

KEY FEATURES

New to Madden

Battle for Air Supremacy

Total Control Passing - Place the ball where only your receiver can get it with body-relative throws including high-point, low-point, back-shoulder, and the ever-popular touch pass. Become the ultimate dual-threat and terrorize defenses with new pressure avoidance and QB scramble controls.

Receiver/Defender Controls - Dictate the outcome of each passing play while the ball is in the air for the first time ever in Madden. For receivers, go for the highlight reel with the ‘aggressive’ catch or move the chains with the ‘possession catch’. On defense, disrupt the outcome of each play using the new ‘play ball’ and ‘hit receiver’ mechanics. Receivers and defenders deliver the most authentic exchanges to date with new press and zone-chuck interactions, contextual hand-fighting, and a variety of 2-man interactions at the catch point including pass interference penalties, tip balls, knock outs and simultaneous possession catches.

Playmaker Broadcast

Integrated Broadcast Graphics – Your playmaker highlight reel has arrived with new player spotlights, dynamic goals and achievements, and innovative on-the-field cameras bringing you closer to the game than ever before. Making plays has never been this much fun and rewarding!

GAME MODES

Connected Franchise – Whether playing solo or online with friends, your quest to build an NFL dynasty comes complete with a brand new scouting and draft system as well as all-new dynamic goals throughout each game. Develop players with Game Prep and build your teams’ confidence through performance and front office transactions. Balance keeping players’ confidence up, to increase abilities and build player XP.

Madden Ultimate Team – Build your ultimate team with your favorite NFL players from the past and present while dominating the opposition in head-to-head seasons, solo challenges, and more. Earn coins to buy packs through the online store, where you can trade and auction off items on the road to building the Ultimate Team. Engage with the NFL year round thanks to live content and service updates in the fastest growing mode in Madden.

Skills Trainer – With 60+ tutorials and drills, Skills Trainer focuses on teaching the strategy behind different passing and run concepts, as well as how to play Madden for new users to the series. Fan favorite Gauntlet mode returns with all-new Boss Battles, Extra Life challenges and opportunities to jump or fall levels in a single play.

Looks like offense will be a point of emphasis of Madden 16 this year. Hopefully not at the expense of defense.

Man total control passing been on Madden for years, how they gonna say its new?

Man total control passing been on Madden for years, how they gonna say its new?

Thats wat I'm saying ...youve been able to pinpoint passes since the PS2 days

Done with Madden ..been trash since for over 10 years now 

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Better be fun..

 

[yvespo3]

Great... QB scramble control, can't wait to see sCam trucking lineman again

. I hope they fixed Qbs breaking every other tackle in the pocket

 

[spacedoodoo]

people still buying madden? EA takes a couple things outta the game one year and places it in the new game a few years later. Seeing that beckam catch animation at the end just proves it'll be trash cause every receiver will be able to do it in the game 

 

[joeyxfresco]

Panthers are about to be so cheese with the QB controls with Cam and touch passing now that we have two 6'5 receivers

 

[RIP sleazyy]

Great... QB scramble control, can't wait to see sCam trucking lineman again :\ . I hope they fixed Qbs breaking every other tackle in the pocket

High rated MUT QBs rarely break tackles now.

And yet, Ryan Tannehill shrugged off a Steve Atwater high hitstick when I blitzed someone last night

Only buying for MUT (again) can't wait.

I'm so desperate for a football game since they axed NCAA I might have to buy this year's Madden

NCAA needs to find a way to bring back the game. If paying players means another game, then by all means, give'em that $$$

Still can't believe there's no NCAA football..

Still can't believe there's no NCAA football..

The games on the ps2 and original xbox were the best to me. 07 I had the most memories from, the ability to important draft classes to madden was clutch too. I've always valued the ncaa games over madden. The element of fun and realism was evident in both back in the day but ncaa just kicked it up a notch. 08-12 I felt ncaa went on a decline to madden but they started to make a comeback with 13 and 14. 

 

[mike awesome]

haven't bought madden since 2009 and will stay that way even tho that boy ODB made the cover

Same game as years past but with a bunch of crazy one handed grabs...no thanks

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Graphics are STILL *** and their STILL rehashing old "features" as new ones. Get the hell out of here EA I'm sick of this.

 

[dabottom305]

I was waiting for this thread.

Same features. Same overpowered glitches. I used to feel m like not have 2k around ruined it but MUT is just as bad. Idk how people can invest time and/or money into ultimate team.

I'm still copping. There's no alternative and playing against friends/NT league will always be fun.

I'll just wait for more info to keep dropping.

 

[danyosahn]

$60 for a roster update like usual. 

I'll still cop though, NT league will always be fun.

We just need Retto to bring back those weekly writeups. 

 

[Retto]

One word: PANTHERS!

Will likely still buy though .

 

[dabottom305]

Anyone on PS4 still playing Madden?

BTW lets not forget how much props Madden 15 got. I heard nothing but good things, even from Madden haters.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

This may be the first time in 15 years I don't buy Madden.
