Madden NFL 15 Gameplay Improvements Blog and Screenshots

Very good read. First blog that actually peaked my interest.

I'm still waiting for the day they get away from the screen jump for the fake snap and use head/shoulder movement & voice inflection instead. The current function is ugly and not very sim.

Maybe I misunderstand your message, but in real football, any head/shoulder movement by the QB to draw the defenders offsides is a false start.

Exaggerated head/shoulder movement is a penalty.

It's hard to bark out cadences without moving your head/shoulders at all.

I am also excited. It is clear to me that this development team means business. While I am aware of Madden 25's shortcomings, next gen improvements in November were huge, especially physics, compared to when it was first released last August, and I continue to enjoy M25 immensely compared to previous generations. Madden 2006, for example, was horrendous, and I was mortified with the game until M13. All of the improvements in the article are welcomed.

I do hope they allow more flexibility with player/team editing. I've had a lot of fun creating historic teams but the process is painful in its current state.

Glass half full or half empty? Three Maddens in one year. That's glass half full for me, albeit while emptying my wallet.

Sounds very promising....I like the kicking meter fix. I always thought it should be some sort of a speeding slider. Up/down for distance, left/right for accuracy. The more accurate kickers indicator would be slower from left-to-right, the more powerful kickers would be slower up-and-down.

I STILL WANT TO KNOW, HOWEVER, IF THE STATISTICS ENGINE IS FIXED! Nobody has ever told me if they eliminated the problem with ties. An team finishing with an 8-7-1 record should be behind a 9-7 team but ahead of an 8-8 team.

probably won't know about that until the CFM blog is released.

The only concern I see is a 99 kick power can kick 64 yard FGs I just hope that doesn't become a common occurrence.

Also an 83 kick power can only kick a max of 45 yard FG. Seems a little short to me but haven't seen kickers ratings yet

I love hearing weather impacts kicking game. Don't know if that means we will see kickers falling down in rain and snow which would be nice but hope it's implemented well and kicking become harder in inclement weather.

In a video game world, I don't see how they could implement it without being exaggerated. I think the way a video game would have to use it would be unrealistic.

More unrealistic than the screen jumping?

A little head/shoulder movement & a little vocal inflection is better than that IMO.

And even then they will claim it's fixed regardless. We won't really know until after release day or someone gets an early copy and spills the beans.

Like everything I've heard about the game so far. But I'm still waiting to hear if we finally get penalties like Pass Interference.

Wind arrow bug is fixed

Re: Madden NFL 15 Gameplay Improvements Blog and Screenshots

It's a good write up, welcome things if they all worked as advertised.

Not nit picking, but I had to laugh at this though:

The arrow showing which way the wind is blowing was broken in Madden NFL 25.

and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that, and. . .

so are they fixing the qbs? are all qbs still going to have the same throwing mechanic? are the ratings actually going to matter (besides speed)? is there any progressive fatigue?
