Cfm improvements ✔
Gauntlet ✔
New drills ✔
Qb innacuracy ✔
Better lighting ✔
New Dline controls -
New catch animations -

All in all it was pretty similar to the next gen version minus the new animations.

I've been contemplating picking up 15 for PS3 off eBay on the cheap. A few questions for some of you:

- Is the sacks issue resolved where the LE and DTs rack up WAY too many sacks?
- How is pass blocking?
- Do the players actually play to their ratings?
- Does autosubs finally work?
- Is the issue with the depth charts fixed (outside a game they show one OVR, but once in the game their OVR is different based off scheme -M25 issue)
- Does every QB play like Peyton Manning?
- Does coach mode work?

Thanks in advance for all the feedback.

Most of the new presentation elements including the new halftime show and new cutscenes with real video clips - nope
player lock - no
pre-snap jump - nope
the new play-calling features - nope
defensive AI improvement - not nearly as the One PS4 versions, if any
CoachGlass - no
pre-snap matchup info via the right analog stick - no

Yeah I forgot about all those. But Madden 12 was less of a jump than 15 was and that was a fully featured game. I don't want to discourage any one that was on the fence about picking it up since its still a really good Madden game.

There was a thread for years that pleaded for defensive player lock but it was never implemented last gen. Never could understand why since NCAA had it. I have no plans for a PS4 at this time, thus my position was and still is: no player lock = no buy.

Looking good I just hope they upgraded in CFM...

Even though we don't see any player faces in any of those pics,they look pretty close to current gen.It wouldn't surprise me though that the main improvements are purposely left out to boost current gen sales since the graphics upgrade isn't the same as ps2/Xbox to ps3/360.

That being said,if CFM functions better and releases without major bugs it should be a good game but it will be disappointing if they don't get penalties at least working a little better if nothing else.
