Big backs finally do feel more like a big punishing player versus a small, shifty, and agile back. Momentum seems to make more of a difference in 22 versus 21, which is nice. I still think NCAA 14 does animations and movement better, but Madden is slowly getting there. I do like it and it does feel way better than some of the previous maddens to date.

Gameplay -> Madden is finally slowing down the gameplay and getting back to a more natural and less вЂњarcadeyвЂќ game speed and movement.

Kind of good? ItвЂ™s definitely better than 21, you will hear crowds roar and react better to plays, but I still think this area of the game could use some work. Still work to be done and IвЂ™d like to see them improve graphics and take вЂњNext GenвЂќ to the actual next gen.ДЄudioвЂ¦. So, IвЂ™m not fully blown away, but it is a pretty game and textures, movements etc for the most part usually look realistic and great. Great, wished theyвЂ™d take a leap like 2K did. Madden has been disappointing to me for a long time, but I got over them really ever making any big changes and I just try to enjoy whatever product is put out now. IвЂ™ll split my post up between the good and the bad, and IвЂ™m not here to trash the game. This is my first time playing a вЂњBetaвЂќ version of a Madden game. IвЂ™ll first start off by saying IвЂ™m a long time lurker on here, I do not post often, but I have followed Madden and NCAA since my childhood. I have had less trouble as a defender filling gaps because there have been fewer issues of having my defender get hung up on the back of another player, for example. I feel the run defense is especially good because there is less bunching at the LOS which makes for cleaner run holes, and gaps for defenders to fill. The rest could potentially be adjusted through sliders for gaming aginst the CPU or where the user prefers to coach only, or user only one player with no switching.ДЄnyway, I feel the run play is really solid. Right now there seem to be good holes to run through, which also means, there are solid gaps for a user defender to plug and stop the run.

I would rather see the CPU programmed to focus on stopping the run, rather than adjustments made to block shed frequency or other such artificial manipulations which again, only seem to remove about 90% of all run plays from even being viable options, especially in H2H. I would say, if the run play is not a glitch, as in completely unstoppable through play call, adjustments, sliders, or usering, then leave the run game alone. The only reason the rush yards are where they are in the NFL, basically, is because coaches/teams adjust to stop the run, along with the NFL being a pass-heavy league. When EA starts adjusting the run game, especially to fit into the average in the NFL, it seems about 90% of run plays become useless, and we are stuck with a Strong Close 2 play rush attack, a FB dive and a QB sneak, whoops, and 1 stretch as being the OP plays with everything else being destroyed at the LOS in H2H games. I feel this can be countered by limiting plays in leagues and rush plays used by individual players against the CPU, as well as sliders. Actually what concerns me most is when people start saying running the ball is too easy.
