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

[ApolloKids]

Judging by the animations and AI logic it is safe to say that in a decade EA hasn't been able to top 2K5. Part of me is stunned by and proud of 2K for making such a masterpiece, but the majority of my feeling is just sadness that we are stuck with the same old ugly, unrealistic mediocrity.

- Animations appear to be no different than what we are used to seeing.
- Sidelines appear to be just as dead as Madden 25.
- Graphics aren't as impressive as originally thought.
- No true step for all 22.

I hope gameplay can change my mind. As of now it's a pass on Madden 15.

If the presentation is still mostly cutscene driven, it's already a fail.

No matter how impressive they make the graphics this game will always be very ugly because of the animations. Seriously this is at the top of my list of issues with Madden. The animations are so freaking ugly. If they would overhaul the animations the game would feel like a completely brand new game. Instead I don't know what the heck they are doing.

I think it looks great. I am going to hold judgment on animations until I see the game in motion at E3. I think the helmet color looks fantastic. A true metallic gold look on Kap.

I could care less about clear colors, equipment, etc. Give me quality AI.

Grass? Really?! First, the Seahawks play on field turf. Secondly what do you expect? It's a screen shot. People focus on the most odd elements.

Maybe this is one isolated event, maybe it is fixed, but since this has been one of my biggest gripes for a long time, it was the first thing I looked for.

I was thinking the same thing. #21 lines up over the TE. #38 engages the TE, coming from where #21 was lined up. But #21 spins off the block of someone that's not either of those TEs (85 or 86).

Either way, everyone laid into their assigned blocker as they always have. And EA's defensive speil makes no mention of gap/force/fill/contain assignments.

Guaranteed that every person commenting here buys Madden this year. Even those that are overly critical.
