How do you shift the D-Line in this game? Was super easy last year as I use it religiously. Now I can't even figure it out. The way how I used to do it in '25, in '26 it keeps messing up my camera angle. Aggravating, especially when I am online. As of right now, '25 was lightyears better
Left on The D Pad,Right for LBs

I agree,I'm still trying to get the hang of enabling Playmaker/Special Moves

How is it different bruh :wtf:

Shifting the DBs, LBs & DLs have been the same in Madden & ncaa since 14 at least. Hold left on on the pad

This post isn't for niccas like @staticshock that just want to play a football video game and don't actually care if it's even trying to simulate actual football...they just want to have fun on the sticks and eagerly cop Madden year after year.



For those who expect just a tiny amount of realism in this game...don't waste your time with this bullshyt. I didn't cop '25 and decided to buy '26...I play on Heisman, I average 200+ yards rushing, I do a good job against the CPU...but everything is so janky and scripted that I can't feel good about what's happening on the field.



I want all of you playing this game...after you pop a big run or score on a long TD pass...or after you get a sack or an int...go to INSTANT REPLAY and just look at how these plays develop.



The warping, sliding...players not even animating or getting stuck in animations...the AI logic...this shyt is an absolute joke.



In 2025 there's no reason why a sports game should be like this.
What's pissing me off is the psychic CPU D seems to be back after the latest patch. I'll look at previous play art and it'll show them in say a cover 3. Meanwhile before I have even handed the ball off 7 players on D are rushing the line. Got CPU DBs running routes out ahead of receivers. CPU defenders perfectly positioned to cut off every route. Thought I was being too predictable with playcalling so went deep in the playbook and called plays I've never used and same thing. On every play at least one of my linemen will focus on one guy, then immediately switch to someone else leaving the original defender with a free run into the backfield or at my QB. On every 3rd or 4th down and short run at least 1 or 2 of my OL get pancaked by the defender and I have no shot at even getting close to the first down.

Going to give sliders a shot and if those don't make things better will likely put it down until a patch drops. This is all on All-American default.

EDIT: I've completely given up on playing D. Robo QBs are back. They dumb down human defenders and have random guys slow up or break their zone for no reason. My defenders don't break on the ball until the offense has already caught the ball meanwhile as soon as my QB begins to load up to pass the CPU defender is already breaking on the ball exactly where they're throwing it. I was watching a friend play and he counted off the CPU defender taking three steps towards his WR in the time that it took for him to windup and throw the ball.

I play online unfortunately and there’s just no way I’m this bad compared to last year. 20-36 shyt feels like all the bad shyt only happens to me dropping open passes or the receivers not trying to catch period. L1 not registering after I identify the Mike I can’t change my blocking shyt is ass. I’ll add extra blockers and nothing they’ll let whoever come thru don’t matter what school.

I barely play my PS5. The last game I played was last years version of this game. Since I don’t have much time to play the game, I don’t even get online, just start a dynasty and play against the CPU. I got this years version and did the same thing and the game is way better to me and I notice a lot of improvements gameplay wise. I play on Heisman too. CPU is still the CPU but they not as overpowerd as they were last year and them higher rated teams not impossible to beat.

I don’t even be on the game enough to really argue with anyone about this shyt, but I will say I strongly disagree with this years version being worse and definitely don’t agree with it just being the same version of the game with new rosters

I can say in those two running plays, you have to check your blocking. Just hold R2 and hold the right stick right and it will show blocking assignments. On a lot of plays you will have a guard pulling or whatever the term is. Where they loop around to the outside and go block the second level or someone that’s not in front of them.

Or sometimes you will see that a linebacker is unblocked if you check the blocking. You need to shift someone or audible to get better matchups. Or you can change the blocking assignments if you know how the online works with that slide or half slide shyt.

If you just run every run play without checking your blocking you not really gonna know where your blockers moving.

Thats not to say the game is perfect or complaints not valid, but sometimes it’s actually the user and the game is working as it should

They gotta tone down this home field advantage shyt cause why is my star QB rattled and my icons missing the first play of the game. Whole offense is cold and we haven't even touched the field

I got the game. I only played one game, and my immediate reaction was I should have passed on it.

I’m gonna start treating this game like the iPhone and upgrade every 3 or 4 years.
