Gameplay
- New Ball-Carrier Special Moves (Skill Stick) – Ball Carrier evasive moves
are now all on the Right Stick, offering more control to link moves together
pulling off highlight-reel combo moves. You can even swag your way to the
endzone easier this year, with a single button press Celebration Run. But use
cautiously, as the ball carriers tend to fumble frequently if tackled while
celebrating!
- New User-Friendly Pass Rush Mechanics – Feel full control and
responsiveness while performing specific pass rush moves. Choose the move you
want via a directional stick input with full control to branch to a combo move
at any time. Execute the pass rush move strategically – defenders have
limited moves allowed per play, and offensive linemen will start building up
resistance to moves performed repeatedly, so make sure to mix up the repertoire
to maximize potential.
- AI – CPU-controlled teams and QB's will start making in-game adjustments
to your tendencies. They will start to notice trends when facing repeated
play-calls, and start using audibles, adjustments and concept-counters during
the game to combat your strategy. AI-controlled QB's will play to their
archetypes, while mobile QB's will make plays on the run and pocket passers
will intelligently read the field. Make sure you mix up your play-calling
against top QB's in the game to keep them guessing!
- Tackling Enhancements – Ball Carriers and defenders will now be more
aware of where they are on the field when it comes to the goal line, pylon, and
first down marker. Ball carriers will intelligently reach for that extra yard
needed for a first down or touchdown, while defenders will make the effort to
prevent the extra yardage, all driven by Superstar abilities and player ratings.
Tackling in the open field is enhanced by the Breakdown Tackle mechanic, that
allows defenders to seamlessly get into position for a low-risk wrap tackle
while intelligently anticipating contact, but make sure to time the breakdown
correctly or risk a fake-out.
- Superstar X-Factor 2.0 – Superstar X-Factors are back! Over 50 new
abilities and a new group of Superstar players bring game-changing strategy to
each game and highlight the stars of the NFL. Improvements to existing abilities
bring balanced gameplay, while new abilities enhance passing, pass-rush and
ball-carrier moves across every mode.
NFL Live Playbooks – Playbook updates all season long to reflect the
latest schemes and strategies from the real-life NFL season.
