Madden 16: 9 Tips To Play Like A Boss

Don't just be in the game. WIN IT.

By Michael Potts /

Madden can be an overwhelming experience for anyone, even die-hard football fans if they're not regular gamers. It's not a light-hearted 'pick up and play' game you can enjoy with anybody, you've got to be switched on. EA have done their absolute best to simplify the whole NFL experience into one controller and one screen, and the result is fantastic. Madden 16 is genuinely one of the biggest leaps forward the series has taken in many years. It all just feels 'right', with the passing game bumped up to, defences reinforced and stunning tweaks to make the whole game seem like you're marching into a real-world NFL battle. If you're completely new to the franchise, or just cracking open this current edition for the first time, you've got to accept that it'll take time to get used to the system. You could easily concede some weak TDs in your first few games, but it's all part of the adjustment period. Others might slot into top gear from the word 'Go!' but don't panic if you're not one of them. There are plenty of tips, tricks and hints out there that can enable you to be the best across all modes of the game. Here are some of the most important if you want to stand a chance of glory.
