Worst tackling system I have ever saw

This game needs a HEAVY remake of the user tackling system and they need it done by the time the official release of 8/2 is. I have never played a game where there are this many broken / missed tackles in my life. This is pathetic. Has anybody at EA actually watched a professional football game before or do they just watch highlights and make games?

I was using Perine which I think is backup in Washington on 3 star challenges and he run like Marshawn Lynch, break 6 tackles and stiff arm 3 people, like damn.

i heard the hit sticks are pretty awesome this year.

To be honest, all the players have around 80 tackling or less.... I mean.. unless you're adding an ability, there shouldn't be perfect tackles anyway... The only time I notice bad tackling is when multiple defenders try to gang up, it causes the runner to essentially bounce off tackles.... But.. I heard a patch is coming like it does every year that should help some of the tackling...

I had a dude user hit stick me all game.    It works.   You have to hang on a little, because the animation is quick.

I love the change, it’s realistic. Open field tackles are tough and gang tackling is required for consistency. Anyone who has an issue with it clearly has never played the actual game of football. Never had to break down in the open field to bring down a shifty back or tried to meet a tough runner in the box for the 20th time that game. 

You can can just hold A and expect a gimme, or try to hit stick/strip every single time you have them on a line.

 Woah woah woah.. slow down there. I can’t believe you said that this game is worse than MUT 19.. never that. This game is light years ahead of that game and it just came out. It may just be that you’re used to the horrible product ea has put out the last couple of years.

 THIS!

I'm not sure what people are talking about with the hitsticks.  I've only played 1 online game but in the solos I hit stick almost every time I tackle and more often than not they fumble.  On some of the easier challenges it was ridiculous as it was almost every single tackle caused a fumble.

I am up to 82 overall and added defense balance chemistry to all my players. I have noticed huge improvement. I was really frustrated to begin with but now pretty satisfied.

I agree that hits stick seems to be landing less or timing has changed. 

I think a lot of it comes down to having been used to playing a 98 overall team down to starting over again.

Not a fan of tackling atm. Can’t tackle from behind.
