A decade of destroying the football videogame market has taken it's toll, finally...

You must not have ventured into the threads of the Monday night football vids from last year. OS let them have it and rightfully so. I know sometimes it gets out of hand and trolling occurs but those vids were really that bad.

Wait till franchise info comes out with everyone having different expectations and some of those expectations aren't in the game.

Enjoy the weekend everyone and come back with a clean slate on Monday.

These cleats have to go! Take a page from NHL, Get authenticities equipment. Jordan cleats, Cam's hi top under armor cleats etc. This year can is wearing the shin pads like in basketball, this would make sense to have for players to use. They should be ahead of the curve on accessories instead of a year or ten behind!

I'm looking at the game and i kinda like what I see, aside from the same animation for tackling- where the ball carrier falls on his back after hitting the turf. The animations are too much though. The way they line up is all animation, not distinct walk, or different motion. And then they morph into the spot. Still no multiple formation audible and multiple players moving on the line of scrimmage.

The angles have to get better because they've always taken a angle to tackle from behind no matter which location you were starting.

The spin move needs to be neutralized, and only effective for very elusive players. And defenders need to break down prior to diving. It should be built into the defense while you are approaching the runner. To many blow buys happen in Madden, NFL players are way to disciplined.

That throw he made with Wilson, off balance, was bull, the physics alone should have made him throw a lollipop, and dude should have picked that. That was Antoine Bethea.

Madden always looks good, but just as they have generic tattoos in UFC, Madden could've used those to have all players that are tatted be tatted in the game, then not only Kap is tatted.

Not gonna act like I'm gonna skip out on madden. It looks good and if I have fun playing it that's all that matters to me. I'm not expecting some ground breaking new game from this company.

You know, looking at these video previews for Madden this year, and thinking about the fact that I don't even know if I want the new consoles at this point, I'm just dissapointed man. Hell I honestly thought Madden 25 was somewhat of an improvement (from Madden 11 the last one I had before that). But Madden 15 at this point, it has NO new features that most people would care about, its the same goddamn tackle animations I've been seeing every year that I've ever played any EA football game. For ****s sake I never even played football and I can tell Madden isn't even close to real life.

The graphics are good but honestly its the year 2014 they HAVE to be amazing. They just have to on a new release in this day and age. But NO OTHER FEATURES ARE GOOD! Why should someone spend 60 bucks on this? There's literally nothing that should exite any football fan. The players move like they have problems. Even the running looks awkard like it's Superman running down a hallway and honestly thats the only thing that looks better at all.

The Infinity Engine was supposed to fix this. It didn't. It has done nothing. There is no real differnce bewteen this an 11 other then some graphical ****. I'm disgusted. EA duped me and so many other people who go out and buy this wack game. Wow.

EDIT: Don't even get me started on these tackles though. Geez it's like getting tacled by a vacuum cleaner, or getting sucked into a mini black hole...

The running back has nothing but green ahead of him, he could go, wait no! The defensive end uses teleport and tackles the back for a loss!
"Bad vision, bad hole choice and a loss of yards, you can blame that loss all on the running back."

Who could forget the classic, "Last week this quarterback played terrible, and that's why his team lost" when referring to the 5TD 0int win he had last week!

And remember, "when he's covered, he's open."

Those areas of the game should be completely separate jobs for completely different types of employees, not a situation where your manpower has to suspend work on one element to work on the other. From an outsider's perspective, it just seems like Tiburon either aren't hiring or aren't assigning enough people to work on those parts of the game.

They only thing I can think is that since they have he exclusive NFL license, their goal is to allocate as least resources as possible to Madden, just do the bare minimum every year.
