Madden 16 Review: 10 Hands-On First Impressions

3. AI Slightly Slow To React?

This is just a small issue but during the first game on Madden - a Deflategate rematch between the Patriots and the Colts - my defence were doing a decent job of holding back Brady's forces. On one particular play, I simply couldn't break down their O-line, yet Brady remained deathly still despite an ominous, growing hole to the left side with receivers flashing around the field. He eventually threw an incomplete pass. Brady isn't the finest runner, but he didn't even move an inch left or right. Then later in the game, he did trot to his right before hurling the ball far out of bounds when he still had options. They were just two 'iffy' moments from the opening game and didn't compromise the enjoyment of playing, but it did leave me wondering whether than AI (on Pro level) may be a fraction too slow to react.
