, defensive tackles cannot chase down WR's in the open field every play, and 1 safety cannot cover sideline to sideline

Again your tackles are only good at blocking on the strongside, weakside

The introduction of the skill stick (whenever that was) just gave Madden an excuse for its horrendous tackling system

Secondly, there's still a good amount of suction tackling taking place within the game as well.

Its better than last years games the tackling and play calling is really

I've had instances where players would purposely get shifted into position as a tackle/stiff arm/Truck is supposed to take place in a particular part on the field.

Love the new run game and tackles are much more realistic now than in past games

However the blocking and bad tackling allows the drunk RBs to get yards every time making this a running league game, while the real NFL moves more towards passing you have to move more toward running in Madden.

The physics seem worse from phantom tackles to miracle interceptions to defensive players that can read minds but cannot understand pursuit angles.

You have to use an "up" flick to provide a hard tackle regardless of orientation to the ball carrier

The tackling is horrific, instead of being tackled, players stumble 4 yards forward making goal-line stops nearly impossible

The game feels a lot more like you are actually there when moving the players around besides the fact of the silly tripping over players but the tackles are twenty times more realistic along with the new juke moves and much more

Coaches players and owners have all been in the media and we've had contract disputes as per usual

I may try to enjoy this game as much as I can, and being optimistic, I will probably buy next year's Madden, hoping that you fixed all of these problems and went back to the basics.

This is annoying as you could have a wide open receiver and the pass will fall short no matter what

After 30 minutes of playing this Madden 25 I'm investigating my return policy rights and considering playing something else... as much as it will suck
