Re: Madden NFL 15 Review (PS4/XB1)

again, if its great to you then that's all that matters. Just agreeing to disagree.

That clearly wasn't your intent.

I read the review but I am still trying to figure out where the lower score came from. Was it really the announcing in the game?

Probably the fact that any remotely knowledgeable football fan will be absolutely disgusted with the state of the NFL just one season into the franchise mode.

Score should be lower if this is how the game is shipping, and I'm someone who is very impressed with the actual gameplay and presentation improvements this year, who even thinks we're just a complete animations overhaul away from a truly amazing NFL game.

If they fix the rampant, almost unbelievable CFM issues.

I guess I am more concerns with graphics and game play.

It is a fun game hands down. Hard part about reviews is the reviewer may weigh certain aspects heavier than someone else. I don't get caught up in scores. I like to read the details about certain modes I may not try.

I can't wait til Tuesday.

I think my biggest problem with the score is Madden 25 got a higher score.

The legacy issues like the WR/DB interactions are dissapointing to hear. but i love playing defense and that new camera and d line moves are enough for me to purchase this.

REALLY wish there was an option to turn off those atrocious super-zoomed cut scenes and replays going 200mph (why no slo-mo?), or at least have the option to change the camera angle to broadcast or something instead.

Even the 'wire cam' or whatever it is behind the offense like on NBC Sunday Night Football would be great angle to toggle replays between. I just don't understand the turbo zoom replays and cut scenes, it kills presentation and immersion for me.

The replays are way to fast. I prefer highlight videos in slow motion.

Bought last year for the first time in a while and wasn't a fan. The player movement just wasn't natural looking and I got annoyed seeing bodies twisting in awkward positions during tackles. No demo is a HUGE disappointment for me because I think EA has made the least progress in the transition to the next gen consoles so without a demo it's just hard for me to trust EA. I'll probably just wait for a price drop in a few months.

Thanks for the review. For once I am really looking forward to Madden 15 this year.

I have NEVER played a Madden game in the past 10 years that I've agreed with the ratings of Gaming Sites, or rated it higher. I've always rated it lower. Sometimes not significantly lower, but it's always lower than generous websites. So if this is a 7.5 here, I'm expecting a 7 or lower once I play it. And if it's lower than 7 I never keep Madden longer than 2 months. Also, at his point, 9 years from a Football game that gave us halftime highlights and weekly highlights from other games around the league, it's extremely sad the teams on Madden simply can't get things right or even up to standard from previous games that were better.

What does that have to do with the OS review?

So if the franchise stats were accurate of the bat this game gets an 8.5? This is by far the best madden since the ps2 days

What does this mean? "The ability to play your Connected Franchise with friends is obviously a big bonus"

Does this mean I can have a connected franchise and play coop with a friend against the computer? That would be awesome.
