Madden NFL 15 Official Trailer, Ultimate Edition Details and a Few Screenshots

[mellamoaaron]

Graphically I think the game looks great. I watched the video again and paused it a few times at key moments and the player models seem much improved and aside from that I would say that the animations seemed much smoother on some the clips at the end. I still need to see how someone that they always screw up, let's say Peyton Manning, looks. Otherwise I am going to reserve my judgment until more screens come out.

I think this looks similar to the RG3 trailer we saw last year. This looks decent to me.

History says you're correct about many, but not all. I purchased 1 release last gen ('07 or '08) that I later returned siting excessive bugs, and got another 2 releases from attending CDs. I've not owned Madden in 4 years, and haven't played a single down in 2 years. 3 releases in 10 years, and from someone that owned every release from the very 1st on Commodore 64 ('89?) to 2004 on the PS2.

The numbers say others feel the same way. Like Only1LT said, the industry is growing. I'd bet that baseball and basketball video game sales are growing with it. Sales of the game representing the most popular sport in America going down has to say something.

But yeah, until more folks tighten their pockets, Madden will look like this.

And the rest of us, except AH32, thinks EA is selling actual NFL games on disk.

Sidelines look the same.

I understand that this game is not as great as it could be, and NFL 2k5, gameplay-wise, outdoes every Madden game made since then. However, EA, in my opinion took a huge step in the right direction with M25 NG. It was not what they showed in their trailers, but it was a game that had improved blocking, better running, better graphics, and better lighting than any previous Madden, including M25 last-gen. Looking at these videos and screenshots, this looks way better than what Madden put out last year, and that seems good to me. Stop saying that this is a "disappointment" before you even see more than a one minute trailer that features barely any gameplay at all.

I partially agree, I'm disappointed because, as you've said, NFL 2K5 still outdoes Madden.

Think the graphics are fine, but I'm absolutely bashing the animations and equipment. I'll reserve judgement on AI until I can get my hands on

Then don't? This doesn't strike me as a hard problem to solve.

You're both right, actually; with Madden, EA Tiburon is selling an NFL-branded football video game.

That didn't impress me. It looked liked good ole madden in that trailer. I'll wait to see what they've done to franchise mode (or "owner" mode) and if that's the same I might skip this year again lol. The graphics look fine to me. EAs football games always look good up close which is why I still think that Kaep pic is in game (probably touched up but still). Ah well
