Re: Madden NFL 15: Online Impressions
I ask because after all these years and tidbits of info about the development of the game, under various teams, that's the conclusion I'm drawing. I don't begrudge anything Rex, Clint, Ian or anyone else tries to do to improve and/or change the core game for all modes, just trying to face some facts. As someone that enjoys the competition of a human opponent, online is essentially the only way I play sports games, be it H2H or multi-player career modes, so any optimism I harbor about Madden playing like an entirely different game, has been squashed fairly quickly with exposure to online modes each year. |

Re: Madden NFL 15: Online Impressions
The fact is that online H2H has devolved into about 500,000 wannabe Chip Kellys running a constant barrage of no-huddle same play offenses, 2-pt conversions for the hell of it and a bevy of onside kicks and strange defensive decisions.
Too many people still think the problem is "beating" these guys...its not, the "strategy" and gameplay style are depressingly familiar and all too easy to beat unless you are up against a very skilled user who has the timing and tricks down cold...the REAL problem is that online H2H resembles NFL football about as much as Arena Football does. The other problem is that EA forces you to have to play it out against these guys and give them 45-60 minutes of your time to be forced into playing a game and playstyle that has no appeal to a lot of veteran players. I simply gave up on DNF% and just refuse to play these clowns unless I feel like teaching one of them a lesson...but I should not be forced to play their style with no recourse...SEPARATE SERVERS for freestyle and simulation would be ideal...and on the Sim server just record wins and losses and quits and abandon any semblance of a rating or ranking system...let the animals in the jungle scrap for the meaningless and give people who want a FOOTBALL experience a chance to avoid the rest of the foolishness... Fair Play Rules would help, so too would more realistic stamina/fatigue effects and penalties for things like intentionally slamming your free roving FS into WRs to prevent routes from running correctly (actually palyed one guy whose "defense" consisted of taking the FS and attempting to play bumper cars with the TE and Slot WR the whole game and not once was called for PI)... The game still has a fundamental problem - it allows stupidity to succeed and it has PROVEN that is unnecessary already....just look at the run game in M15 versus passing defenses (Dime / Dollar / Quarter) - if you are playing someone who believes these are the "go to" defenses to stop the run, audible to a HB dive or slam and you will average a nice 6-8 ypc and force them to either be gashed down the field or stop calling ignorant defenses like that against a 1WR, 2TE, 2RB sets...

Re: Madden NFL 15: Online Impressions
Man scree this gm, people figure out flaws quickly and talk smack while they're at it which is annoying knowing they're glitching at the same time. Had an opponent throw hail marys successfully til he took a big lead then he ran drags and angle routs thrkwing to harvin and his TE going 10 for 10 in one quarter. My defender never reacted at all to the player or the ball until it was caught and on top of that the pass were thrown before the players would even look for it to come with my defender standing right there only to have the ball appesr in the wr hands whike he runs into me to cstch it.
I think this will be the first time in yrs I have given up on madden this early, online play was what I liked but now nothing but no life losers continue to ruin and plagued what I thought was a great foundation of things to come. |

Re: Madden NFL 15: Online Impressions
Anyways I got an INT and scored to go up 26-14. We are in the 4th now. He scores a FG 26-17. I'm cruising. He gets a FG. So now it is 26-20. You know how this crap is going to end. I call onside kick return. He lines up in normal kick coverage. I cannot audible. He kicks the ball slightly down the middle of the field and guess what. NOBODY on my team bothered to go after the ball. HE gets it. Scrambles every play with Cutler because the contain doesn't really contain and your spy is slow even though CJ Mosley has faster speed and accel than Cutler, Cutler always beat him to the corner and turned it up the field. I lose 28-26. It's the same mess. I felt like I was back on PS2 playing Madden online. |

Re: Madden NFL 15: Online Impressions
It's just software at the end of the day, and with truly talented, passionate and driven programmers, could fix this game rather quickly. Instead, we continue to get lots of things that are incremental improvements that sound good at first, but don't really work. The implementation is again sloppy and incomplete in Madden 15. Take the offensive line play for example - it's actually worse in 15 than it was in 25. Not sure what they were trying to fix, but the number of plays where my tackles block no one and stare into space is startling. The lineman attempt to slide into place like an old 16 bit game and don't move realistically at all. It's a hot mess, yet this is "war in the trenches 2.0". Bugs happen, but to be this sloppy isn't acceptable to me. I expect better because I had better over a decade ago. To those who can really enjoy the game I salute them and I am glad, because that is all that matters. However, for me, I need something better than this, much better.

Re: Madden NFL 15: Online Impressions
How long does a online game take to play? Someone mentioned in one of their posts it takes 45 to 60 minutes. Is this correct?
I have rented Madden 15, but do not own it yet. Still trying to decide to buy or not/ Thanks for any responses. |
