    Madden NFL 15 Trailer and Screenshots - Player Sense 2.0

    EA Sports has just released another Madden NFL 15 trailer, along with some more screenshots featuring Player Sense 2.0.
    • Defenses are now smarter when it comes to going for a swat vs. an interception or a tackle. This improved logic will be broken down by individual player traits.
    • Zone coverage ratings now have a much bigger impact on how quickly defenders break on throws.
    • Defenders with higher ratings in Zone Coverage will react much quicker to throws, often times before the ball is thrown.
    • Improvements have also been made to zone defenders responsible for the flats.
    • Look for smarter principles, head tracking on all players, increases in press and chuck interactions between DBs and wide receivers, as well as improved pursuit and tackling abilities.
    • Man Coverage ratings have also been tweaked to impact how much separation receivers are able to get on cuts in their routes, resulting in improved behavior of the defensive backs.
    • Also new to Madden 15 is the addition of disguised defenses, where opposing secondaries will show you one coverage but give another.
    • Madden NFL 15 represents the most fun and engaging defensive gameplay in franchise history.

      Animations aside I am pretty happy with that video.

      Loved the disguised defense and the fact that they fixed the flats. Certainly showed some promise.

        Disguising coverages was one of my favorite features of other football games and I'm very happy that it has made its way over to Madden this year.

        EDIT: also, the Jaguars' new video board is ******* gigantic.

          Unfortunately for me, it didn't do much. I immediately saw two situations where a defender was standing completely still, flat footed doing nothing. That would never be the case. Even if that defender, in this case it's a corner, is responsible for backside contain, he's going to creep up near the line of scrimmage or he's simply going to attack it. If not that, he would help out in coverage. I just don't understand how they don't see that happen and don't address it. It's been in the game for years. This clip was only a couple of minutes and I saw it twice.

          EDIT: if you look at the 31 second mark, the corner and MLB are standing still. Graphics look really nice.

            Plays 2 (seahawks) 3 (browns) looks really, really awkward. Second play should have been an interception as opposed to be a successful swat. The swat animations doesn't seem to fit the context.

            Plays 4,5,6 are pretty nice looking. The animations fit the contextual awareness.

            Mixed baggage.

              and my anticipation level has just gone up!

              Looking forward to getting my hands on the game

                  Honestly not really worried about that kind of stuff.

                  Just want it to play a good game and defensive coverage was always a big aspect of the game that discouraged me.

                  Really don't care much if they are flat footed or not.



                  I'm not diminishing it or saying that you shouldn't care about it, just that I personally don't.

                    Very impressed by what I've just watched. This game is going to be awesome.

                      Yeah, I understand, it just takes away from the immersion factor for me. It also is frustrating because that's not what I would expect my defenders to be doing when I put them in zone coverage. I hope they are aware of this and can fix it at some point soon.

                        It looks like playing defense will be more fun, but I'm also intrigued about how this will affect playing offense. It looks if you combine the new defensive mechanics with the increased inaccurate throws, the game should be much more realistic. All of this hinges on A.I. of course.

                          I'm sorry but how in the world did the browns play look awkward? That was a perfect swat.

                            Most of that sounds good overall, but the bolded bullet point has me confused. They react to throws before there are throws? I'm guessing this is just a wording thing and they aren't advertising psychic DBs as a feature now...lol.

                              I'm wondering if they are trying to simulate a DB reading the QB's eyes, at least that is how I took it.

                              That line had me scratching my head as well.
