Madden NFL 15: Three Things To Be Excited About

Re: Madden NFL 15: Three Things To Be Excited About

I'm cautiously optimistic about two things:

(1) Passing inaccuracy

(2) Outside run contain


I don't like how they say they solved outside run contain (should instead use gap assignments based on front/offensive formation and the play as it evolves), but I'm hoping it at least works.

kicking and the punt arrow!

Dude madden has that, you can place the ball where you want by using the analog stick..

I knew someone would say this. Everytime I mention this about Madden someone chimes in. Yes I know about the left analog stick (I'm not a complete idiot ) but that isnt my point. My point is that in 2k5, and 2k8 the control over your passes is far superior to any of the lest analog stuff in Madden.

There are throws I can make in 2K that cannot make in Madden. Trust me on this

In past Maddens it was way overpowered to the point that you could change the receivers route using it. I've been saying this for years but Madden lacks contextual awareness such as back shoulder throw situations. The abs don't posses very much touch on the ball. Its either a straight bullet or a lob pass. I feel like with the triggers we could have much more control over how much touch we have on it.

Thank you sir. This is pretty much what I have been trying to explain since Madden..... 08? It's been a long time.

And I DO LIKE MADDEN, I just really want the passing fixed. Thats all

I would honestly be all in for a Madden game that would allow users in a Connected Franchise to be themselves as a created player go through the draft process or pick a current player to control. I enjoy defensive side of the ball, specifically SS. Say another user in the franchise chooses to be an RB. I want to be able to be locked in just on my guy and he on his. If my player or his would get fatigued, injured or was backup only playing occasional snap while the other is on the field they should be just a spectator watching each play until they return or if both are off the field you should have a choice to sim to next appearance. Madden isn't the only franchise that needs to implement this, I believe 2K which is already on a different planet as far as gameplay would create a game that is hands down a must have for any sports fan or gamer. I hope that all makes sense to those who read this and if I have copied what someone else posted, my bad. I'm curious what others think on this matter.

Im looking forward to pass inaccuracies but I think I may be disappointed, from the videos I've seen, theirs rarely any inaccurate passes (unless their way off) and very rarely have I seen a variety of catch animations which is something else I was really looking forward to.

Shocking that a thread about things in Madden 15 that people are excited about turned into Madden bashing and 2k comparisons. Just let it go already

Respect his opinion.... Alot of people like presentation

i do respect his opinion, im just trying to understand it, if he likes the gameplay, then he should be looking forward to presentation. for me presentation is icing on the cake, but right now the cake isnt very good, hopefully it gets better

"Constructive" is very debatable. Thread is about things you're excited about in the upcoming game, not Madden vs 2k comparisons. If someone isn't excited about the game there's countless other places to provide some "constructive criticism"

Re: Madden NFL 15: Three Things To Be Excited About

I'm actually not excited for Madden this year, at all. First time in a long time. I'm just not feeling it. They didn't make any of the changes that needed to be made to franchise or the actual game play itself. Its just more new fluff and its going to be the same broken game underneath. Still going to buy it, but just not excited it for it.

Agreed, but I am not buying at least into I get it for 40.

Re: Madden NFL 15: Three Things To Be Excited About

In fairness to EA, I don't think I have the capacity to get "excited" for Madden this year. Last year I got the deal from Amazon to get old gen and then trade in for current gen for an additional $10. The gameplay and CFM were so unbalanced and stale, with little improvement to the new console, that I just had no fun playing. It's like I got two disappointments from them in one cycle, and that's a lot to overcome.

With that taste in my mouth, after all the hype we had gotten from e3 onward about last year's title, especially on new consoles, I just can't get excited, no matter what they say, no matter what the videos and blogs say.

I will say I absolutley recognize that this team is working on moving things in the right direction. It seems like gameplay could be meaningfully improved even if robotic player movement is still in the game. Presentation is improved. CFM may have made some strides but continued lack of customization and user control options is disappointing. No word on sliders or off the field CPU logic/AI is a problem for me.

So, while I recognize and appreciate hearing about what sounds like progress, I'm going to wait and see. What OS users say by around September 15 will tell me whether or not I want to buy the game.

Well, I am not bashing Madden. I mentioned something I liked from 2K (Total Control over passing) that I would like to see in Madden (a game I like and play as well)
