At the beginning of this year I considered this the best madden game to date. As the year progressed many things were changed to make it easier for people wanting tricks or schemes to break the game or cause unrealistic things to happen. Defense was great but after about 2 months they dumbed down the AI and it became a 0 blitz game all over again. Personnel mattered for about 2 months … safeties were being pancaked and man handled but then magically they became prime Patrick Willis. They began to shed blocks crazy fast and their impact blocking shot up to 100. They gained the ability to fall and recover and tackle people immediately after being caked. Also dbs don’t have to see the ball to catch it. They could be running at a receiver on a post with their backs fully turned and jump directly up with their hands up and catch a interception like a Tomahawk dunk.
