Madden NFL 15 Blog and Screenshots - War in the Trenches 2.0

Kind of off topic, but will therebe daytime/nighttime progression like MLB the Show? I haven't bought Madden in a few years and wasn't sure if it's been added yet.

Will any info be released for folks still on Current Gen Consoles (vid's, any differences between current and Next Gen)?

Just curious as to how things will look/run on current Gen consoles.

Other than visuals, will the concepts presented in this and other Next Gen info releases be "Exactly" the same?

If not, what differences can we expect.

So my question is, considering what they stated about having "wide" dline calls have defenders attack the outside shoulder, shouldn't that theoretically apply on pass plays or be tuned to? So when playing someone that has a habit of dropping back outside the of the pocket, not just rolling out of it, shouldn't that wide attack by the end rushers be made to easily get around blockers to make the sack and deter deep drop backs or no?

Big I been thinking this and saying it..but u wrote it much better then I have ever..my belief is there is NO explosion off the line by DE and OLB's..it's all one speed

Good blogs so far but I've seen these types of blogs in the past. I hope that all the moves listed will be in the game and not just a few of them.

Just got this response from Clint...

@tazdevil20 and yes, the CPU utilizes the same everything as the user except for block-steering. Your 4 studs will be studs.

Well that's odd, that's the main thing LBz, Bezo, etc have been harping on for forever, engaged player movement, so don't really see why CPU/AI "steering" would be left out. A User can only control 1 dlineman, so the other engaged defenders will be stuck in the usual patty cake?

Would be great to get further details on this, if possible, not to harp on it but to at least find out if adding this for CPU/AI is an immediate intention.

So based on that info..you have to play DL to set edge..that is a let down

I asked him if they planned on adding that. It's baffling to me as well as to why they would omit that. Engaged player movement is what they need to expound upon in order to rid themselves of the "win/loss" type of line interactions. Just because I am engaged with an offensive lineman does not mean I "lost". It seems they've adopted this when it comes to user control, but not for the AI. What really sucks about this is that guys who play only against the computer will never once see this done against them. Have to admit, this is an absolute head scratcher.
