re: Official Madden 15 E3 Video Thread

I was just looking on their website, and I didn't even see anything for blogs or upcoming videos explaining what else they did to the game. I'm guessing if nothing comes out on CFM and everything else then you could be right and it went untouched.

It would be nice if they added CPU vs. CPU to offline CFM. I can't imagine it would take a complicated overhaul to do it. Heck, I was able to workaround it in Madden NFL 25. I didn't have control of other things, but at least I was able to watch the games vs. playing them on CFM.

Look at that screenshot. Look at the camera men on the sideline. Didn't EA promise last year they were going to create interactive sidelines? This looks terrible.

What's worse is Jimmy Graham. Somehow he lost his stomach and lower back. You see the top half, then his stomach and lower back is gone. Then the bottom half.

The play is right there in front of them and only a couple camera guys are paying attention. For some reason they are taking pictures of something on the other side of the field.

Here's a one sentence review from a yahoo tech blogger/writer.

Madden15 looks more real than the actual NFL. Not sure how that is possible, but.... #EA #E32014 @yahootech

I'm writing this sentence, because "SMDH" would not be enough characters.

Need to see how this looks in gameplay first but i'm not in love with this idea

Looks like the sideline crews are going on a safari, again. I don't know how I feel about the cone or the little QTEs. However, you are right and we have to wait and see it in action.

These fools added a vision cone to defense..smh....

That catch animation Damerius Thomas went into, triggers too many times on comeback routes, looks like its still an issue.

The passing game seems to remain largely untouched. The same old animations, receivers going into canned over the shoulder catch animations when the ball is clearly thrown short behind them, all receivers still seem to catch the ball perfectly with their hands instead of letting it come into their body or chest. Need to hear more about the defensive improvements in this game.

The thing I'll never get o's why does EA continue to add gimmicks year to year that are gone in a year or two instead of improving on what they have.

So when they bring it back in a couple years it's renamed and called a "new" feature.

If they bring back vision cone passing, they can make a complete flashlight tag football league now.

That was very concerning to me as well. I cringed when I saw that animation...

The first time I saw that pic I didn't even realize it was next gen. EA is disappointing me. This game will probably be better than Madden 25. But this is just frustrating as a fan of the game.

Mannnnn... Ever since Madden 2005, the madden series has went down hill. It's 2014 and we still have these sorry *** running & tackling animations.....

Sad..just sad....

re: Official Madden 15 E3 Video Thread

They should go ahead and make a running cone, catching cone, kicking cone, punting cone, and heck, intercepting cone too. That way any more bad flashlight idea's don't come around in another 5 years.

If you had to work on improving madden 14, would a optional (I hope) tackle cone even be in your top 200 ideas?

Here's the trailer and presentation for those looking. JP, if you want to add this to the OP that would probably help save people time.

Is it just me or do these gameplay clips look like the same gameplay animations as before??? This is Next Gen gameplay animation?? Can you honestly say this is a huge improvement in gameplay then Madden 25?? Look closely and you will see the same old tackle animations as before, they never change??!! Still move all twitchy and not have any life.. This is awful! How can they get Next Gen console technology and not completely rebuild the game engine?? Why does it continue to play the same every year??? Someone explain this to me like I'm a six year old..
