The Most Important Feature in Madden NFL 15 is the Least Talked About

[buckeye]

There has been a lot of talk about defense and presentation but the most important feature announced thus far is neither of those.

Great Sound Point, about what QB's will face in Madden 15.

I read some were else that Wilson and Kaper are rated to roll out and throw bombs. (So is Johnny ;)

I do think this is much bigger than the press it's getting. EA themselves finally admitting that QB accuracy has meant very little, but this year finally does. EA stated that 400+ receiving animations that have been in the game for a while, but NEVER TRIGGERED due to the flaw in QB accuracy WILL FINALLY TRIGGER. This is big. But why, why did it take them this long to actually make QB accuracy mean something.

I can't even begin to fathom this. How is that even possible. 400 unused animations that have been unused for years?? Link would be nice. Not that I don't believe you, I'd just like to read more on it.

I got that on OS. It was in a thread about some developer interview. The developer himself supposedly said this when saying how significant the QB Accuracy change is. That completable passes that aren't 100% accurate will trigger all these WR animations that are already in the game, but we have not seen. It would take me a while to go back and find this to provide a link. But it's over at OS.

It doesn't surprise me at all that EA would be that incompetent to take the time to actually add 400+ animations into the game but then just have them never even show up for years because the QB's accuracy was completely broken... How do these people still have their jobs?

This is probably why it's the least talked about feature, it highlights how shitty of a job they do.

I still think it's a great feature. Now the third string QB won't be playing like a HOFer. Short, Med, and Long accuracy will start to mean something. Different QB's will play differently. IF they actually implemented/fixed this correctly.

I think Bill can verify it made a huge difference on the game. Shit loads of catch animations and attempts at under/over/mis-thrown passes.

That's called you are dealing with base code from years ago that has been piled on top of by multiple different teams that codes things differently. Same reason wind meter kept going backwards a couple months before release each year.

Its about digging through hundreds of thousands of lines of code to find one small trigger and removing it without destroying the whole thing.

Not sure if the 400 number is correct, but I believe it to an extent. There are tons of new tackle animations that you never see with the base game unless you mess with ratings/sliders.

What concerns about the QB accuracy additions is in the 49ers/Seahawks video, neither Kaep or Wilson were missing their target, even when way behind the LOS. Hopefully it was a lower difficulty, but from what I've seen it didn't look much different.

What we played was a huge difference. The videos we have were on Pro I believe.

I ended up watching some All-Pro videos and I admit they did look better. I'm really hoping the sliders work well enough to mold the game how I want it.
