    Madden NFL 15 - Defense, Presentation, Broadcast Team & Halftime Info (MyMaddenPad)



    MyMaddenPad.com has posted a pair of articles on Madden NFL 15 discussing the defensive changes to the gameplay as well as presentation changes within Madden.

    Here are some highlights:
    • On the overall feel of Presentation: "The pre-game is much shorter, more authentic, no dead air, there is visual variety for everything you are hearing. You finally feel like the UI, the commentary team of Sims and Nantz, and the camera team are all in sync."
    • On the coin toss: "Removed coin-toss from pre-game. You can set your strategy before the game, if you like to receive or defer."
    • On in-game storylines: "Emerging stories during the game that commentators will talk about. So if Percy Harvin is having a great game with 2 kick–off returns for a TD Jim and Phil will talk about it and they will highlight and go back to those replays. So telling emerging stories with replays adds to the presentation."
    • On the halftime show: "Larry talks and shows highlights of the first half by linking plays that tells how the score has been reflected. It’s more than just two clips. They also show some player stats at the bottom of the screen as well."
    • On smarter crowds: "Crowd now has more logic. There is a long list of things. For example when you throw a deep bomb the crowd will start to stand up and explode when the catch is made."
    • On QB Accuracy: "The defense also may seem better because of the inaccuracy of QBs but that’s on the offensive side of the ball and we’ll talk about that later."

    Be sure to read both articles which are full of much more information on Madden NFL 15!

    Hoping that during halftime show, they'll talk about other games around the league. At least show scores and stats.

    Other than that, presentation sounds as if its taken a step forward.

      They've already mentioned that it only covers your game and not others around the league.

            so good news if you want to play with the sticks, but what about your teammates are they going to do this appropriately linked to bsh, awr, prc etc? whilt you are being a lolb for example?

            what if you play coach like me will both team' players do this?

              I'm not one of those equipment people, but it is strange that arm sleeves aren't in the game. They keep on using screenshots of Manziel and we know he'll be wearing one.

                I agree with allstar dad! One thing that NFL2k5 did well was the halftime and postgame but I felt like they missed out on putting in some info on the other games. To feel like there is more to the league than just the games you play. This would be a great addition...because really...i know what happened in my game...I just played it...give me game stats for my game and a few others...like in my division or something.

                  there in the game BUT only the GOLDEN BOY RG3 is only player allowed to wear it in madden.


                  so far of all pics I've seen and video of manziel hes had the long sleeves it be nice if they added it to him but I doubt it happens just have to edit it in.

                    So sad that a game on PS2 9 or so years ago can get everything so right on presentation (Pre-Game, Half Time, Post-Game, Weekly Highlight Show) but a PS4 game in 2014 doesn't have anything close.
                    What's with this chick? Does she have beer flavored nipples?

                      Some of the so-call added features sound more like some borrowed features from ncaa football, which is not necessarily a bad thing. But, if EA is going to use ncaa football as a guide to go by why not go all the way. Have OC/DC go after head coaching jobs, and put in CPU vs CPU as well as more customization.

                        Alot of this comes down to personal preference. But a couple years back, NCAA had Rece Davis cutting in with updates from out of town. I was pretty excited about the feature, but ended up HATING it. Part of it was probably poor implementation.....Rece seem to cut in at the worst times when I didn't want to be bothered....and most of the games discussed were games that had little relevance to my own team.

                        Although I did really like the weekly wrap up show from another NFL game about 10 years back. Again though, personal preference.

                        On a seperate note, I actually really like the new coin toss system. I guess I have been playing video game football long enough that I don't really need to see the coin flipping cut-scene anymore.

                          If they are borrowing from NCAA, they need to borrow the equipment. Nike gloves, ect. Moreoever, I don't know why they ever got rid of the Sports Illustrated covers that used to be in NCAA. Those were pretty awesome. I loved playing NCAA to see if my team made the cover that week. Finally, why did they ever get rid of the Tony Bruno show. I used to like hearing that to see what was going on in the league. That was pretty cool playing in the background during your franchise.

                            Madden needs to implement the scores from around the league ESPN ticker like NCAA and the cut ins for big games. I'd like to see scores from around the league at half time too with significance of games in the playoff hunt.

                              Enjoy that the pregame is focused on getting the game started quicker now. No more coin toss is a good thing
