Its not perfect and can always use some tweaks or changes but I like how the game plays. On defense your punished for bad mistakes and have to be on top of your game since the user can only do so much. Interceptions are alot harder to get and balls will bounce off a defenders hands alot of times but to me that more realistic and makes getting an int more rewarding. Pass rush is kind of strong but I think the game plays well on both sides of the ball. The passing accuracy has been tweaked and your punished much more for pushing the analog stick too far or not paying attention and throwing an incomplete inaccurate pass.
This is my first year playing new gen Madden and it does take a minute to get used to how the game is alot slower and grounded and more realistic than old gen madden even though I think old gen madden is very good,23 was I dont know about 24. Players will actually catch the pass alot of times instead of dropping the ball after contact. I like that change cause IRL a wr usually makes a catch that's right in his hands no matter what. I think theres a good balance in the game right now. Qb running is back in full force but I'm fine with that cause qb's will fumble alot.
