I hope they unveil something a bit beefier as time continues on.

Can't argue with that. Bothers me how they're praising post-play movement when some of the post-play animations date back as far as Madden 08. They know better than to leave that in there.

Unlike a lot of people, I don't subscribe to the idea that Tiburon is lazy. What they're producing (an attempt at a simulation pro football game) is the absolute hardest thing to do in the gaming industry. That said, when they leave tons of legacy animations in the game, many of which were never good to being with, then they have to understand why people think they're lazy. They give people the ammunition to attack them. Listening to the way the devs speak, you get the impression that they're totally oblivious to why they've earned the negative rep they've gotten.

Madden USED to be an awesome game back in the day. I'm talking about PS2 days. (04/05 etc). And after they entered the last gen era (PS3/360), A lot of those animations and such were made for those systems and they sucked to begin with. That's why the animations are horrible. NOW with the PS4, I think it allows for them to go back to the PS2 glory days (IF they take the time and use it to it's potential.) The problem is they're not doing that right now. I think once Tiburon fixes animations and gets things to push the potential of the PS4 instead of just recycling old stuff on a new console, THEN it'll regain it's popular following it once had.

Lawd have mercy those animations and player movement.. Come on EA its 2014!!! Hopefully that was the user not knowing what he was doing making it look so bad but I doubt it..

The lighting looks fantastic. Player models look very nice as well.

Madden has never incorporated gaps. Unless you count the years Strahan was in the league, and graphics weren't really detailed enough to depict that gap.

LOL. I see what you did there.

Didn't play madden 25 but does anyone know if the modifier is in madden 15

Despite the groundhog day feeling, I once again find myself getting excited over this game. I didn't pick up 25, so maybe that has something to do with it. The skills trainer looks like it will raise the bar a bit.

What in those two videos is getting you his amped? General public is easily impressed 90% of the reason why Madden is where it's at now.

I am going to try my hardest and not buy Madden this year. Every year I get hyped, and every year I get let down. I think I'm just going to stick to MLB and NHL this year.

I almost agree to this, but I actually think the most difficult game to nail down is soccer, and FIFA has had it nailed down pretty well since FIFA 11, I'd say. 12 was a little off, but 13 and 14 were once again solid. That game has to incorporate so many constantly moving/changing player momentum, goalie animations, etc. And, the ball physics? The ball physics? OMG, they're FANTASTIC in that game. Simulating the physics of a soccer ball in constant motion is more difficult than a football (now, simulating a football bouncing on the turf is much harder). So, for me, FIFA 11 really showed me what madden was missing. And, if a soccer game can look like that, madden should be a piece of cake! (That's an exaggeration. I know football is also tough to create, but I do think soccer is more difficult).

Ahh I love this time of year where people tear the game apart from a 2 minute video or screen shot. I wish they would be forced to play on the PS1 for 3 months to shut them up about the graphics bitching. It's a video game. Bad news it will probably always look like a video game.
