So Madden has been out for a couple days now, and I figure it’s time for me to give a few thoughts on this year’s version.
The passing game is more balanced, but if you throw up a contested ball, chances are even the 88 rated Keenan Allen will drop it instead of coming down with it. It went from being an overpowered jump ball in last year’s game to almost completely taking jump balls out of this game. Not a fan. How to counteract this, you ask? Use your slot receivers. Throw on breaks, but be careful not to throw too early, as I’ve had quite a few passes bounce off my receivers’ helmets.
