Most annoying thing. You get used to mashing a particular button to get through cutscenes and then on 4th down when the play call is most important you inadvertently call a mystery play because the playcall rules changed. :argh:

True madden players never kick anyways. You should be able to run a play blind and go through your progressions to put the team on your back Greg Jennings style.

It's actually setup so that on punts it will default the punt option to whatever your primary button layout is. So if you have it as Y/X/A from top to bottom it'll be the Y play, if you have A/X/Y it'll be the A play. Also you can hit any of the buttons to skip through the post-game play stuff, so hit A instead. Also you don't need to mash it to skip, just press it once and it should skip.

I'm on PS4 but yeah I get what you mean. The problem is hitting buttons to skip only seem to work after a certain point in the post-play animations so I hit the button maybe 3 times before I get to the point in the animations where it 'takes' and sometimes I push one too many times.

Anyway, was there a very slight delay between the point when you could see the play call menu and when you could actually select a play in the last gen Maddens?. I don't recall ever inadvertently selecting a play in last years version but in this it happened 10+ times before I learned not to try to get past the animations ASAP.

Edit: Also for the love of god please tell someone to look over the sack rates from the offenses right side vs the left side in singleplayer. Since at least Madden 12 the OLB/DE on the left side hasn't ever had more than like 5 sacks in a season in my franchises unless I control them manually, even when I have guys like Clay Matthews or JPP on the left. ~75 OVR scrubs on the right side routinely have 20-30 sack seasons though for some reason.

On xbox one there seems to be some intentional annoying as all gently caress delay thing going on where they REALLY want you to see these loving interstitials and menus and bullshit left and right.

Is there a menu setting I'm not noticing that enables "just get to the loving game and don't show me a floaty thing with some dumbshit talking about my RB going for a -1 run" or something?

The game is not nearly as frustrating as the interface. It's been 26 years and we're still fighting the goddamn interface on the game while we play. Makes me remember why I stopped buying Madden games but I just had to pick up the latest-gen one now that I got an xbox one to replace my poor old dead 360.

Well until EA decides they want to pay the NCAA for using their likenesses, I'm stuck with it if I want to play football aren't I?

It had the better interface for the last 10 years or so and I'm pretty loving sad it's gone. Madden's the bloated bigger brother and it's a chore just to play it.

I like the new play calling menu except for how slow/unresponsive it is. Definitely enjoying the game though, best Madden since whenever the last PC release was.

Playing a preseason game, and Ponder is subbed in in the 4th quarter. He gets sacked, fumbles, and the LB takes off with it. Ponder then gets up and runs his rear end down and tackles the LB at my 20, and then gets called for a facemask on the tackle :v:

it's just like in M25 on PS4 where a QB would wind up to make a pass and then the ball would shoot 70 yards backwards in an instant and result in 3rd and 75

I've been having fun playing the solo challenges in Ultimate Team but earlier I played a head to head game against a young child who shrieked into the mic the entire game. It was sorta funny at first, then became infuriating when he started kicking my rear end. Anyway, is there a way to permanently mute other players?

It is a PS4 profile option. I think if you go into friends > recently played you can find the profile there and mute them forever.
