EA over-hypes. They do not under-hype. If there was the slightest thing to claim as an improvement it would be on the back of the box. We're getting the same old weather we've had for years. Even though BF1 was released 7 years ago on the frostbite engine and had 10,000x better weather effects than madden could dream of.
EA's motto with all of their sports games is, "Why add features when we could just not do anything and keep more money in our pocket?"

I view it more as the EA metrics of people who play the game haven't complained about weather is why and I think that makes a lot of sense.
The reason I say this is any time I have friends over, or play at a buddy's house, I am the ONLY person who ever wants to adjust weather and such.
Everyone else just acts as if I'm nuts and "dude get on with the game, no one cares"
So sad to say, although I share your frustration I blame it more on the users who haven't said it SHOULD matter more than EA just being lazy. They aren't going to devote resources to items not many people who buy their product care about.
What it is going to take is another football game to do weather incredibly well and then, and only then, will EA change weather. That's my predicition.
Cmon NFL 2K (I know it's arcade but that actually makes me think that the game could have some crazy weather)...

Sad thing is they had better and more weather effects in NCAA 14. I wish they bring the live weather option NCAA 14 had or at the very least let us set the temperature like NCAA 14 had. Far as the video, they honestly didn't show much, way less than I thought they would, considering year suppose to be a big and very important year for them.
Anyway the game will sell well by default, being the only licensed NFL game around. As long as they don't patch the game to death, should be a decent year of Madden.
If improved weather was in M24, EA would shout to the heavens to let us know about it.
There would be some, if not all of the following or maybe even more:
•Dynamic weather (live weather service channel for real time weather conditions as seen in Microsoft Flight Simulator and in older EA football titles)
•Various rainfall/snow - puddles, light showers, thunderstorms, torrential downpours, uniforms and field degradation, fans having snowball fights, players making snow angels as celebrations
•Dynamic game time temps changing throughout the game with progressive lighting
•Fog - impact on vision or awareness
•Humidity - impact on stamina
•Light to swirly to heavy winds (with wind socks on the goal post) - impacting special teams and passing, trash might even blow around the stadium
Good people here at OS, I’m so tired of the same old same old from this title. In 10 minutes I created this.
