If its in the game its in the game! Football shoots through the comerbacks chest ,and sucks into the back of the wrs hand as a diving safety floats 10 extra yards to complete the assigned tackle animation.

Real physics engines have been out for well over ten years now. How is it that madden still doesn't have one?

ea put out new versions of jam and blitz a few years back
the key term is "a few years back," and who knows how long it'll be (if ever) when they release another one. also the wii version was the only one to not be ruined by too much DLC

Yeah my favorite part of the "simulation" is if you're up too much by the 4th quarter, for some reason you'll constantly throw interceptions and fumble the ball while your opponents make impossible catches. Maybe they're making a statement of how the NFL rigs games to be close.

EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.

I mean, you don't just tell the computer "do physics" and then it understands how catching works

So you think Madden will be better if it incorporate Havok physics gameplay like every lovely indi game from the early 2000s?

I'm enjoying this version of Madden. The controls are responsive and snappy, I like the new running back moves, pass defense seems to be better, I like the kicking mechanics, and it's possible to actually have blocked kicks now.

I might actually get this year's then, I normally only buy even numbered Maddens but if they actually made pass defense something more than "Pray your dude is on the right line and smash the jump button" then it's worth it

They added options for having the dbs shade the receiver on different sides and made it more difficult to catch the ball. The defensive AI seems to be improved all around from what I can tell.

I thought the point of releasing the same game every year was to keep up with the rosters. You telling me they don't even come included with the game now?

What's the point of paying for the NFL license if they don't even get to see the secret rosters and final game scores ahead of time? Major fail EA.
