Looked like NHL 15...Lol


And where are the living sidelines??

The players do react to the plays, I saw Brock come off the bench and congratulate Gore on a nice run in a video. The crowd audio and models respond better and there's more atmosphere with the crowd overall. Coaches react more now too. They are still developing the Living Worlds feature. Hopefully they will get to where FIFA is with Living Worlds soon, their crowds are amazing.

One thing I have always hated about Madden is the lack of catch animations. Every receiver seems sure footed 95 percent of the time. Seeing a dive catch is like spotting a unicorn. I was playing APF 2k8 last night and the variety of catches in that game are ridiculous. There are even catches where receivers slide on their knees to make the reception. Receivers falling backwards off balance to adjust to the ball. That's just a small sample of the variety you can find in that game. Also, the illusion of line play in Madden is so frustrating. Watch the videos above of real NFL footage and show me one play where O-linemen simply turn forward looking down field once the defender they were blocking gets past them. Where's the pursuit and continuing to play through to regain their protection in case the qb steps up into the pocket or escapes? Simple o-line logic., where is it? It's been far too many years for these things to not be a given in Madden by now.

Interesting you mentioned that because I just was talking with Markus about animations.

@jpdavis1982: @markusfrieske are you guys planning to capture a bunch of new animations for next year, were there a bunch captured for M15?

@markusfrieske: @jpdavis1982 yes there were thousands captured for the defensive side of the ball and for catching animations.

I'm surprised they would of even touted living sidelines last year if they are still not in the game this year.

In all seriousness what are the new features this year besides graphics, tackling cone, and the halftime show. I thought I was following pretty good but nothing really sticks out in these videos.

I hear yes/no to all 22 players with true step and passing inaccuracies but I haven't seen it in these videos.

Sorry to be that guy but will we actually see all of the thousands of animations that were captured or will we just be seeing the same couple of animations over and over again?

Hopefully they get these new animations in the game. A few years ago they said they added a ton , but it seemed only a few would trigger.

Yeah apparently that was because the game didn't have the inaccuracies to trigger them and they say they trigger now.

No need to apologize I feel the same way but I was just passing along the info I was given.

I wouldn't mind seeing animations being repeated if they captured new ones for each year and removed or tuned the frequencies for the older ones to occur. The game feels stale after a couple of games for me because I've been seeing some of the same animations since Madden 06, 07, 08, 09, ect.....

[JMUfootball]

Players without the ball STILL run with hunched shoulders, all the time.

Madden animations and movements have looked so poor for so long when I see Madden footage I think "oh that's a Madden game" instead of "oh that's a football game".

It's a whole new generation of consoles. Why was the same exact flawed physics/movement model ported over??? This game is a clear no buy for me.

I honestly feel that the reason we are seeing very limited footage this year is because there really is nothing new to show......So why risk first day sales!!!!......EA best asset is marketing and hype and we see none of that at all!!

That's definitely not true, if you're on FB, Instagram, and Twitter people are going nuts over Madden 15.

Facts! Where are the body catches in Madden? Not all catches should be with hands. Big receivers should be able to shield off defenders with their body & pull the catch into their body ala Michael Irvin. Long overdue in Madden smh.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Gameplay Video - Seahawks vs. 49ers (Smitty)

The thing that stands out to me the most (besides the stiff animations) is how RB's in Madden don't carry the ball how they would in real life smh. Frank Gore runs nothing like that in real life. He doesn't hold the ball like that when running. It makes the game extremely repetitive when all players carry the ball the same way & are able to pull off the same moves. This is the thing I hate most about Madden. SIGNATURE BALL CARRYING STYLES & RUNNING ANIMATIONS are a must next year!

I'm on FB, Instagram and Twitter. Why don't I see people going nuts over Madden 15?

my point in case....compared to last year after E3.....I hear or see nothing....Last year there were video of games people played at E3 with different teams, EA announcing specific dates that they going to show NEW aspects of the game, etc,etc....Now, nothing at all!!!....So whats going on?
