Fine-Tuned QB Mechanics
Much of the action in the NFL and Madden is centered on the quarterback. EA Sports this year decided to invest time into making the QB experience as authentic as possible. They now have hundreds of different hand-off mechanics depending on which play is called. This year, “rolling out” of the pocket has been reworked. Nestled in-between staying in the pocket and outright scrambling, rolling out provides QBs mobility without sacrificing as much accuracy as a scrambling throw on the run would.
Also, an improvement to AI QBs has apparently been several years in the making and now is ready to be unleashed in Madden NFL 16. Each QB has a set of behaviors that will determine the way they play (essentially playing to their strengths). Playing against Tom Brady should and will feel a lot different than playing against someone like RGIII or Cam Newton.
Speaking of passing the ball, Madden NFL 16 features a new feedback system for passing. In-game feedback will let you know if you were making a pass under too much pressure or off your back foot to give you an idea of why your play/pass turned out the way that it did. A welcomed feedback for players trying to learn how to play the game right, instead of scrambling around like a crazy person all of the time.
