With Madden 16 EA Sports focused on the passing and catching game, and while not everyone is a fan of the aggressive catch option the new controls to throw the ball are handy.
Hopefully we will see more focus on the running game for Madden 17. Currently there are too many times where our running back simply bumps into a team mate and is stuck behind the line waiting for the opponent to show up. Instead of acting like velcro, runner should be able to bounce off a team mate or brush up against them as they aim for a slot. Combine this with more opportunities to find and take advantages of holes in the line and we'll be ready to run. Players on the line often get stuck in a grapple with little regard to the strength and skill of the other player. We'd love to see stronger players plow over a mismatched defender on the line like they do on the real field.
