    These cleats have to go! Take a page from NHL, Get authenticities equipment. Jordan cleats, Cam's hi top under armor cleats etc. This year can is wearing the shin pads like in basketball, this would make sense to have for players to use. They should be ahead of the curve on accessories instead of a year or ten behind!

    I'm looking at the game and i kinda like what I see, aside from the same animation for tackling- where the ball carrier falls on his back after hitting the turf. The animations are too much though. The way they line up is all animation, not distinct walk, or different motion. And then they morph into the spot. Still no multiple formation audible and multiple players moving on the line of scrimmage.

    The angles have to get better because they've always taken a angle to tackle from behind no matter which location you were starting.

    The spin move needs to be neutralized, and only effective for very elusive players. And defenders need to break down prior to diving. It should be built into the defense while you are approaching the runner. To many blow buys happen in Madden, NFL players are way to disciplined.

    That throw he made with Wilson, off balance, was bull, the physics alone should have made him throw a lollipop, and dude should have picked that. That was Antoine Bethea.

    Madden always looks good, but just as they have generic tattoos in UFC, Madden could've used those to have all players that are tatted be tatted in the game, then not only Kap is tatted.

      Not gonna act like I'm gonna skip out on madden. It looks good and if I have fun playing it that's all that matters to me. I'm not expecting some ground breaking new game from this company.

        You know, looking at these video previews for Madden this year, and thinking about the fact that I don't even know if I want the new consoles at this point, I'm just dissapointed man. Hell I honestly thought Madden 25 was somewhat of an improvement (from Madden 11 the last one I had before that). But Madden 15 at this point, it has NO new features that most people would care about, its the same ******* tackle animations I've been seeing every year that I've ever played any EA football game. For ****s sake I never even played football and I can tell Madden isn't even close to real life.

        The graphics are good but honestly its the year 2014 they HAVE to be amazing. They just have to on a new release in this day and age. But NO OTHER FEATURES ARE GOOD! Why should someone spend 60 bucks on this? There's literally nothing that should exite any football fan. The players move like they have problems. Even the running looks awkard like it's Superman running down a hallway and honestly thats the only thing that looks better at all.

        The Infinity Engine was supposed to fix this. It didn't. It has done nothing. There is no real differnce bewteen this an 11 other then some graphical ****. I'm disgusted. EA duped me and so many other people who go out and buy this wack game. Wow.

        EDIT: Don't even get me started on these tackles though. Geez it's like getting tacled by a vacuum cleaner, or getting sucked into a mini black hole...

          The running back has nothing but green ahead of him, he could go, wait no! The defensive end uses teleport and tackles the back for a loss!
          "Bad vision, bad hole choice and a loss of yards, you can blame that loss all on the running back."

          Who could forget the classic, "Last week this quarterback played terrible, and that's why his team lost" when referring to the 5TD 0int win he had last week!

          And remember, "when he's covered, he's open."

            They only thing I can think is that since they have he exclusive NFL license, their goal is to allocate as least resources as possible to Madden, just do the bare minimum every year.

              The less money they spend, the better for them. As long as they have that license things may continue like this for quite some time.

                I have a strong suspicion that the next gen game is actually just a port made on last gen because they can't ditch last gen and won't spend the money to develop for two console generations separately.

                This game looks last gen because it probably is and will be until the PS3 is phased out and then they'll start from scratch just like PS2 to PS3

                  That sounds eerily like how they treated the PC version before they just stopped bothering altogether...

                    I'm very torn. I see strides being made in the right direction once again, but I saw similar strides made in Madden 10. 10 was far from perfect but we finally started to see some progress being made and Ian was let go and a new team took over. I fear that something like that could happen again. We'll finally be somewhat close to a fully realistic depiction of football only for it to be ripped away.

                    Madden will be a release day purchase for me this year.

                      What bothers me the absolute most, is that I play FIFA 14 on the PC and it is a wonderful game.


                      There it is folks. 22 players, who look like they are supposed to, all moving seperately and individually. Tatoos. Great ball and collision Physics. Realistic crowd chants and reactions to the game on the field/pitch. Penalties. Emotions. Spot on comentary. Real ads for real products and companies.
                      Refs that get hit by the ball.

                        Again, this is an early build, but I'm certain they're in the "cleaning-up" stages of the game by now and this is about what we're going to get.

                        Pros:

                        *Player models - look much improved from last year (textures & size) - hopefully ALL the NFLPA will be on-board w/ the tattoos to add to the realism...I mean, why wouldn't they want their likeness in a video game...most of the guys nowadays were raised in the gaming worlds.

                        *Crowd Sound - the crowd seems to react louder in certain situations - hard to tell

                        *Camera - like the new default camera angle that brings you close to the action...it definitely helps to amplify the graphical improvements.



                        Cons:

                        Lighting - just doesn't look up to par with other sports video games (NBA 2K & MLB The Show)


                        Tackling - still seeing the same animations as last year (which most are good) but players just seem to "fall-like-puppets" at times.


                        PA Music: Is it just me or (with the exception of the techno song) is the soundtrack playing over the PA the SAME 2 songs from MLB: The Show....wow :/



                        I always look forward to what EA has to offer and I hope they deliver...I am one of those guys who gets "tangled" in the hype....PROBABLY because it's the only NFL game we have to chose from.

                          It sure does. I think EA has to realize that nowadays honesty and transparency are the best policies. Can't get away with corporate talk anymore. Doesn't work in this day and age.

                          In many ways, I think they are still stuck on an old business model. They could be doing so much better by following the lead of Valve and CD Projekt Red who are growing exponentially, while EA shrinks and is becoming irrelevant. In my opinion they are wasting so much money on licensing and monopolistic practices to limit the market that it's a negative sum effect. They should focus on gameplay and let the community loose on your products. It's seems like editing options are getting less and less, while the market is trending the other way: more control to the users. Very weird company.

                          "To be concrete about it, 10 times as much user content comes from the users as comes from us. So we think we are super productive and badass, but we cannot compete with our own customers as regards the production of content. The only company we ever met that kicked our *** is our customers. We would never try to compete with them." -Gabe Newell, Owner of Steam/Valve

                              There are multiple players moving at the line of scrimmage and I've even seen the RG motion to the QB to hurry up and snap the ball. The pre and post play animations are one of the biggest improvements I've noticed in the animation department so far. Players are interacting in the huddle, putting arm around each other, talking to each other, hand guesstures, etc.. Little things but it's the little things that people have been wanting to see for years, the way they fixed wind direction, and the way wind affects kicking and passing this year is another example. QB inaccuracies will probably be the biggest game changer IMO. I think that will completely change the way people select their teams, especially in CFM.

                                Yeah Sean Graddy talked about them getting rid of boom boom pow finally in the ign demo. They also have real music playing during the quarter break montage like in real life, which is a nice touch.
