A Full 15 Minutes of Madden NFL 15 Gameplay

[MossMan84]

I see the frustration but I want to remind you guys that there is a multi year effort to get madden where the team wants it to be. I ask one question. How does all of the NEW stuff look?

IMO all the presentation additions, post/pre play animations, defensive line moves, QB accuracy, zone coverage, and single tackle animations all look very well implemented (gang tackling isn't there yet). As long as the team keeps all of these improvements in the game, I trust they can improve other areas of the game just as good.

I know this has can be said almost every year but to me the new that's that they've added give me hope for next years game.

Basically what will happen tho is they will make improvements and build on a broken game and then after years they will finally say "oh lets put a new engine in and start over, the game was broken all along." Too bad OS crowd couldnt put together a game or be a direct support team for Madden during the build! Like people keep saying it Madden but its far from a sim football game!

I see what you're saying and you make an excellent point.

I would also like to apologize for my childish and smart remark earlier.

Nothing to apologize for and my reply to you could easily be misconstrued as childish grammar police nitpicking, so it was perfectly understandable, and tame to be honest.

I appreciate the apology, but it's unnecessary all the same.

No gang tackling...just another example where EA had a feature, then took it out. I expect 2-3 years from now, it will be added back as a new feature. What happened to pro tak?????

this game should be leaps and bounds beyond where it is now. I was so excited for this game. But after watching these videos....not now.

Graphics and presentation look okay, but unfortunately it's supposed to be a football game and I still don't see any evidence of improvement in that area

Signature animations as well as things like WR/DB interactions are already being worked on for future Madden titles, as new animations are created the old ones will slowly fade away, Rex and Cam have animation replacement on their priority list too. He mentioned these things in his podcast this and last year. If the game doesn't meet your expectations until these things aren't in there, don't buy it until the game has what you want to feel satisfied.

If I did that, I'd probably never play Madden again based on how questionably they've managed their "priority list" the past decade. If I recall, they've run through about 3 different 3 year plans now.

However, I get my games for free. Haven't had to buy a game or system in generations, so that suggestion makes me chuckle a bit.

Whatever guys, as long as some *** clown can't beat me online running two fn plays the whole game I'll be jacked up. This game looks great, wish it were August now. Just wondering what they said about QB throwing motions? Are they redone?

Not crazy about seeing Navorro Bowman on the kickoff team

Bowman actually does cover on special teams sometimes, but I agree about not wanting my starters on special teams

I see defenders till celebrate after they drop easy interceptions, they should be disappointed. I guess this goes back to old animations still remaining in the game.

I cringe every time I hear, "ok, so what we did is overhauled the entire...and we built this year's...from the ground up."

It says a lot when every year they claim huge improvements while they give last years game a backhand.

Aside from the robotic animations, this game is looking good.

The fact that we can't set our special teams players is a huge hole in the game. Trying to manipulate your depth chart to get certain players on/off special teams is a pain.

Not impressed with anything I have seen. Yeah graphics are nicer, but that doesn't cut it for me.

And the only reason I bought Madden last year after not buying for so many years was for the DirecTV Sunday ticket deal. That will be the only way I'm purchasing Madden this year.

Well that is unless magic happens between now and release and they churn out a good football game. I can't stand those robotic animations and the other things.

Just really hoping they do the Sunday ticket. I wouldn't even care if I had to purchase Hello Kitty Adventure.

This is pretty much madden 25.2. Don't get me wrong It looks good until your actually in game, then it just looks like same old madden. The hand fighting & shedding blocks seems too easy now with just a tap of X/A which is also the defensive assist button. Mark my words that will be overpowered and become a problem online. Another weapon for the cheesers to use, all these "vast improvements" they tout and Rex DICK saying that we are making a 100% simulation....looks like the same arcadey madden. I'll save my money, only way I get this is if I had Facemask connect!
