Not in madden. It’s only the little bit of the lifeless crowd noise and horrible announcers. Still, he wouldn’t be ready to immediately turn and catch it. He would most likely drop it IF you could even hear that over the loud crowd, which should be in madden because it was in a game for 2007
@@andrewMan9851💀 wow why do these clowns have to keep commenting. Tell me: if you are looking at a receiver when he is in front of you, the opposite way of the ball, are you going to magically know the ball is thrown like you have eyes on the back of your head? NO! Common sense, please
My last one was 2020 and before that 2016 and before that was 13. I buy the game thinking it’s been a few years now so let’s see how good the game got. You’d think it would improve quite a bit but it never does and the bugs are unacceptable, especially for a billion dollar franchise. Madden 20 was my last one and I’m officially done with EA and madden. The nfl is so money hungry that they don’t care and morons continue to buy it year after year and put thousands into a broken MUT. People are retarded and that’s why they get away with a shit game.
I don't want to oversell Axis. It does *some* things better than Madden, as demonstrated here. But there are still a lot of areas where the lack of budget and person-power for development still shows through clearly (and are even evidenced in this clip). It's still a work in progress, but is consistently getting better.
@@MegaBearsFan but when it has more realistic football mechanics vs a company that makes 1 billion a year its kinda mind blowing, i would expect graphics and other areas to be more stiff when its a small team / budget. Then you got EA pretty much saying eat your slop pigs every year and people still buy it, its sad.
In the old maddens this always happened. Defenses were way tougher in those days you could throw the ball and the entire defense would close in and swat it down immediately
Because the Axis devs care more about authenticity than EA as EA only make Madden for MUT now. Also at this point Blood Bowl is more a Football game than Madden.
I'm playing Legend Bowl. I know that is way different than other games, but the football logic is so real that if I'd play a game in Madden now I will lose by a lot
You can only change this in Madden PC. In the parameters, their is two check boxes that u can disable called cut reaction when ball is thrown and cut reaction when ball is in the air. This turns off DBs instantly knowing that the ball is being relased.
@@deon3133I respectfully disagree. It’s not as polished as mainstream titles but it works for me. All I own is a Switch so this is my only option but I’m quite enjoying it.
I remember back in the day having a ton of different football and baseball and basketball and hockey games made for the Genesis and SNES. That caused a healthy competition with every gene trying to add a feature that appealed to the gamers. It’s almost as if they didn’t phone it in the way they do with these exclusive games. No idea why they did it this way.
That’s how EA scales difficulty in their sports games. Not through better strategy by your opponent, but through unrealistic cheating by your opponent, having your players sucked into defenders like they’re magnetic, etc.
Nah, when the ball is throw he's looking at the receiver then just turns. Even before he turns to look at the receiver and is looking over his left shoulder, he shouldn't be able to see the Q from that position
idk. probably because irl the sideline screams “ BALLLLLL” and everyone turns around. or maybe it’s zone the saftey sees the corner and has enough IQ to know that the ball is going there and not to the 9 route
This video alone made me finalize the purchase. In-depth mechanics, who cares if graphics aren’t as smooth. We all know 2003-2008 was the golden era of football anyway
it's so simple man... its funny how MADDEN 07-08 never really had an animation problem for DB ball in air defense it just need more animations and better A.I overall. They should've kept those engines for Madden gameplay.
The reason why Madden made the dbs so good, is because it's damn near impossible to play on defense in the game to begin with. The last Madden that came out where you can play defense and in literally any position and was fun and smooth was the maddens on ps2. The main developer who made the ps2 versions contract was up with ea right around the ps3 was launched. They never gave him a new contract. Madden has been shit since. And that's a very long time. My brother and I still play Madden for ps2 to this day. And no game developing team tries to compete with Madden because it's way to risky. And ea madden will most likely just buy them out if they find out about them. I haven't seen a good football game in over 20 years. I can't believe people still support current maddens. Literally trying to enjoy a game franchise that has been obsolete for a very long time.
Because madden is not focused on the realities of football, (only player ratings, superstar, franchise, MUT, new gadget features). It’s more similar to a background pick-up game
No such thing as clear routes in MADDEN. MADDEN is all about the shallow interests of the game. Big Plays, Big Hits, Picks & Pick 6s, and the Superstars. It's all about marketing the game to casual fans of the game of football and not caring about the ones that appreciate the art of the game!
That shows axis football defense has no communication through the players. The defensive players in real life talk to make sure stuff like that doesn't happen, when the safety doesn't have any clue on what's behind it.
Madden is literally the worst game to make the most money in gaming history owing to its exclusive rights deal with the NFL. It's so poorly optimized on PC that it doesn't even use half of the GPU resources.
Madden is trash but as a football simulator, it accounts for the decades of training and knowledge that players acquire over the years. They know how to react to the ball cuz they’ve seen it all a thousand times over. Professional athletes know what’s goin on is what I’m sayin. You might have 1 guy that’s completely lost every now and then but it’s almost always a rookie and coach won’t let that happen again. My main complaint about this play here is that the safety who was engaged in a block can somehow catch a guy that blew by him at full speed and is 10 yards passed him; to still make a TD saving tackle. Now THAT is broken af lol
That might have worked in previous years, but in Madden 23, even with reaction time at 0 or 5, DBs still react almost instantly and jump routes for picks.
honestly, i’ll a couple years just for them to completely change the whole game and re-create madden from the ground up, cause thats exactly what they needa do, if they can do this with NCAA Football (which is not out yet but we’ll be the judge of it being good or not) then they can do the same with madden, it’s like since madden 16 the game got worst instead of getting better, it’s in madden 16 it’s more realistic than madden 24 and that’s fucking sad, madden 16 looks more futuristic than madden 24 like fr how does a game years ago better than the game we have with the new and improved equipment we have now, tbh EA needs to get back on the IGNITE ENGINE and completely redo the game over again and stop copying and pasting like they been doing for the past several years
Neither game is good...tbh. But the point of the video was gameplay, not graphics. Next gen Madden is like the 2007 gm truck line. Pretty, but unreliable. Madden PS2 version is way better as far as gameplay. Thats why people complain. They're used to EA putting out good quality football games every year when they had competition. But to people that just started playing it in 2014 wouldn't know they stripped the game of just about all of its features, including some gameplay just to add a couple back every now and then to use as a sales pitch. That should piss people off.

Wait you mean players don’t all immediately know when the ball is thrown when they’re not looking at the QB in real life?!
That’s a very stupid question to ask
It’s simply because EA doesn’t care
Fuck all that why this dude throwing off one foot falling back and still throwing an accurate throw. Both games has its flaws obviously.
NCAA games did this. Modern EA just can’t comprehend how the past worked so well.
Not NCAA 14. Only if they played zone or if you had it on some different settings.
in my opinion axis football is better and the more they release the better it gets
tbf the DB is looking over their shoulder towards the LOS when Lamar throws the ball but it still is a problem
Nah, when the ball is throw he's looking at the receiver then just turns. Even before he turns to look at the receiver and is looking over his left shoulder, he shouldn't be able to see the Q from that position

Gameplay is clean
The problem is you can switch to the corner and move them yourself to make the pick.
The answer is simple, in real football when the ball is thrown everyone who saw it on defense yells "BALL!!"
😂
Yelling ball makes ppl look for the ball not instantly go to it
So In a stadium with thousands of fans and 25 yards separating them they can ALL hear ball and INSTANTLY find and react to it!??
