That's because people would pitch a fuckin fit if they couldn't pick plays and were instead forced with whatever the CPU picked.

i always really appreciated it in the ncaa games, even though it'd get annoying if you were a running back or a receiver and the coach was constantly calling plays where you weren't really involved.

I prefer the single play stuff too when I'm doing a player career mode, because its just really tempting to call plays that involve yourself over and over again otherwise which is dumb and "unrealistic".

I'm guessing an "Here's a play, push B to go to the regular playbooks to pick your own play if you don't like it, or go to settings and change User Player Playcalls from Suggestion to Playbook to always start from the playbook" option would've been a coding nightmare, given the playcalling setup seemed to change every other year.

Pre-ordered. Probably an idiot, but I bought a PS4 recently and the last Madden I bought was Madden 13 (which was a pretty big let down, for me anyway), so figure it's time to get with modern times. Wish I could get in on the goon league action, but I just don't have the time for such things. Maybe I'll see a few of you in MUT though!

I never got this line of logic in game development. If you don't think people would like the option so you never offer the option, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. It worked in RTG in the NCAA series really drat well, I'm not sure why it wouldn't here.

For those who haven't played NCAA or the Road to Glory mode, basically you started as a freshman backup and had to beat out your competition through challenges to earn a starting job, then after that you would slowly earn the ability to make checks at the line, flip plays, audible and call hot routes until in your late sophomore/early junior season you were completely running the offense. It worked and it owned. Why wouldn't it work just as well for Madden?

I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

A new glitch has been found on Madden 16. On a Hail Mary, if you take control of a WR and run him away from the play the DB's will follow him instead of playing the ball and the catch will be made by a now wide open WR.

I haven't tried this yet on a PS3, but then none of the glitches have worked on it so far.

The Cowboys have 3 of the top 10 offensive linemen in the game. Gonna fight Havok to play as them.

E: The Cowboys are also super young outside of Romo and Witten. :negative:

My favorite part of that video is the back and to the left rewinds like it's the zapruder film

I imagine AF huddled in a dark room, butts piling up, run n shoot playbook pages strewn about; there was a fourth reciever....

Ah hell no, I have been the Cowboys going back to the 360 days. I had to suffer through like 5 years of being in the same division as Menamino and constantly getting my rear end kicked at least 2 games every season. I paid my dues for the Cowboys dammmnnn it.

I want to do a complete rebuild of the 49ers but I might run with the Panthers due to their stacked defense. It's gonna be tough to turn that offense into a Run and Shoot offense.
