The play is on as "Madden NFL 16" was officially released on August 25. With bugs and other technical problems to fix, EA Sports is still positive that these will be resolved early in the game. But beyond all these repair-musts, reviews seem to hint a homerun yet again for EA.
Encroachment bugs, missing players, frigid animations, and unresponsive main menus were just a few of the complaints about the newest "Madden NFL" title early on its release, reported in Design & Trend. But a new tuning file had already been repaired. This modest update repaired the risk and reward factor regarding wide receiver and defensive back interactions.
Players now huddle to be in the best teams. Here are the teams in the "Madden NFL 16" that have a rating of 85 or higher, as reported in Latino Post.
1. Seattle Hawks: A loss at the Super Bowl did not stop this team from trying it out again for the third consecutive year. Hawks players are hoping that they will win the next NFC; with last season's draft returning plus Pro Bowler tight end Jimmy Graham coming in.
2. New England Patriots: Quarterback Tom Brady joins in again as his four-game suspension was lifted recently. With his comeback though, the Superbowl champs were slashed with key players as well - cornerback Darrelle Revis and defensive tackle Vince Wilfork both left the team via free agency.
3. Green Bay Packers: The Packers sure made it to the Super Bowl last season if it not for a backup tight. Aaron Rodgers is ready to reclaim his post; but loses his star wide receiver Jordy Nelson.
4. Denver Broncos: The Broncos always had been a Super Bowl favorite. But with Peyton Manning, 39, about to leave the team; people are either optimistic or dicey of his leading the team to the title.
5. Indianapolis Colts Team: A defeat by the Patriots had taken away this team's dream for the Super Bowl title last season. It's still uncertain if Andrew Luck would lead the team again.
The bug problems and other technical issues are really not good side notes to start a game, according to Twinfinite. These were easily operable though, as assured by EA Sports; and these fixes will be noted once a new patch is released for the "Madden NFL 16" game. But apart from these technical problems, the rest of "Madden NFL 16"'s game modes are both radical and deep. There is so much to tackle in the field and players will rarely get bored.
According to Telegraph, there are more different tools at the player's disposal. Passing had an upgrade and catching a ball got even more aggressive as there are more options. With these diversity in tactics, "Madden NFL 16" is much more closer now to the real thing compared to its previous titles. It's as if watching a real Sunday football game.
EA had to reinvent the game each year, as football is an annual event. Having bug and other problems seem to be inevitable in every game, even with other types or genres. And even with all the ruckus, EA Sports is still confident about "Madden NFL 16". At the moment, this is the highest rated "Madden" game since 2005, according to Metacritic ratings. Last year's title alone was considered as the second-highest selling video game in the US, trailing only to "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare."
