This was a great game that had a few issues, which were:


The game would freeze sometimes.
The throwing mechanics would sometimes throw somewhere you didn't intend.
The running backs and receivers would often run very odd paths after getting the ball, essentially losing yardage by running back towards the line of scrimmage.
Getting your audible to settle on what you wanted was a bit sensitive, and it might roll to the next thing and if you tried to engage again, the trigger would make the ball snap.

There were also things that I'd like, just to make the game more enjoyable:

 

We should get to run as the running back and receiver, once they have the ball.

We should get to call defenses, if we're not simming to our next possession.
We should get to make the call on 4th down.

However, since the last update, the game is unplayable, or at least, unenjoyable.

The sim defense is non-existent if you sim through to your next possession.  The opposing team scores every time.  The only way to win is to score on every possession, have no turn overs and hope you have the last possession.

You also lose the ability to review your last drive, to look at defenses used by the opposing team.  That was always enlightening and now it's gone.

I agree.  I feel like right now is so vanilla,  bare bones to get something out.  The ceiling right now on how great this game can be? Just scratching the surface.  I would love to see the following:

- being able to run the ball as the RB because all he does is miss holes and run into traffic. 

- call the defensive plays.  Take the game from being just a throwing game,  to more of a HC game. 

- have more control over the offensive play calling,  cause it sucks. 

This game is new,  so we have to deal with that.  But the possibilities are endless.  Like,  how about a "Legacy" option where you get to play the actual moments of the greatest games ever? Seriously,  sooooooooooooo much potential.  As a sports gaming guru, would love to give ideas.  Hit me up 😀

You make a few good points, the game is new and with anything new there are growing pains. This game has a endless ceiling for potential. As for the throwing mechanics I suggest taking off the pass assist or all the assists and use the practice feature to hone your skills. Just like real life in order to get the ball to go where you want you have to refine your mechanic. Since this is VR and simulating the throwing mechanics you have to find tune your mechanics to suit VR. I found that with a lot of practice it's a very accurate system and the potential is amazing. It can only be improved and that's a plus. As for the game as a whole it is pretty Bare Bones with the statistics and deep dive player analysis as well as stats that actually matter all the AI seem to have a Level Playing Field and no one really stands out except for you as the QB. Some suggestions that I would like to see are.

1. The ability to set players in motion. 

2. The ai defense to simulate presnap blitzes and coverage for the qb to read on the play.

3. Player stats more in depth,  individual player traits and skills. Trackable stats for you in depth. 

4. When you snap the ball if it is not a designed to be keeper when the pocket collapses, it's almost like an invisible wall even if your Center is the only one standing there it's hard to scramble forward. Maybe fix that.

5. More in-depth play calling and audible system the ability to create your own plays and new and fresh system to select them.

6. To run as the running back or after the receiver catches the ball to run as them.

7. The ability to skip kickoffs, or the ability to choose what play you want on fourth down. Also at the end of the game if you're blowing out your opponent it forces you to spike or kneel, so the ability to create your own game plan.

8. Call fake punts or fake field goals

9. During the playoffs and the Super Bowl the only difference for the stadiums is a Super Bowl or playoff logo, upgrade the postseason and Super Bowl by enhancing the immersion, a proper halftime show or Sports entertainment clips pertaining to the situation.

10. A draft

11. Franchise mode or similar modes. Pvp c career modes or tournaments, or a NFL pro era multiplayer League. Fantasy leagues,  Legendary players available. Or the ability to play your friend in the same room against each other.

12. The ability to have more control when you're running, if you even get close to the AI you get a red screen and it's a tackle.

And much much more. I think the Developers should invest anything they can into this new revolutionary game, the possibilities are endless and if they stay on top of it and make improvements regularly has the chance to be better than Madden ever thought it could be. I appreciate the game they brought for what it could be.
