It's so sad, a game changer has already posted 2 easy setup nanos, and they are screaming fast. Rex Dickson said straight up, there would be no nanos in the game, but he obviously lied.

No matter what EA does, or "tries" to prevent gamers from exploiting something in the game it's bound to happen, too many cats spend countless hours looking for an advantage. Doesn't surprise me that they found one already there were nanos in M25 there will be nanos I'm M26

Yes please don't let that fool do anymore damage, but the footage speaks for itself, he doesn't have to even talk.

Agree OS has been very madden biased it seems, no sports series had the long standing legacy issues madden had. They overhype and overrate madden year in and out.

LOL! That is one of the funniest things I've seen here. People used to accuse us of being a NFL2k5 fansite but now we are Madden biased?

ummm, in case people didn't know.. we are OPERATION SPORTS. A site dedicated to SPORTS gaming. You're going to find people who discuss SPORTS games here. Madden being a sports game, you'll find that here. I dont understand people's logic with posts. Too funny.

After 2 hours of play I have to say I like what I see. So far coverage on all pro is hard but fair. The running game is harder but when you read it right there have been some good holes to run in. Big plays do occur but they so far seem fair. I saw a face mask that was actual verified in game play. Not perfect as the hand really lever hit the face mask but the players head turned af it it was yanked.

Bears vs lions played down to the wire both times as it should they are closely matched. That I like much.
Let's see if the feeling holds up

Re: Madden NFL 15: Retail First Impressions

Gotta say, very happy with first 2 games played. While I know some will still complain about particular animations, I have to say they are much smoother than they've ever been - meaning the transition of animations. I've already seen in 2 games better WR animations. The game def 'feels' different, too. The movement feels less herky jerky than I thought I saw on vids (maybe, the compression arg was legit? Idk, but game plays smoother than I noticed on videos, so def happy about that). Replays ARE better, also. Once again, the vids had me thinking, 'oh. They're not better. Wtf?' But, now playing the game, they make sense and transition well. Maybe, a little too zoomed in and short in duration, but adequate and nothing to truly bitc$ about. Zoom camera is nice and really digging the d cam. Brees and cam newton both threw for 70%, AND took too many sacks in my 2 games, but this might be slidered out. Overall, gameplay is fun, realistic enough, tough enough d. Gauntlet mode is def a nice addition. I'm really enjoying it. I hate to say it, because I've been disappointed by madden for so long, I almost WANT to complain more about it. Lol. But, I can't. It's really a solid game right now. Can't wait to start a franchise and maybe even play online some. For those that are complaining, I really think we've all just been so disappointed and used to being disappointed, that it's hard to see the good. I say, play the game more. This is the best I've seen it, that's for sure. Another thing I haven't seen anyone posting. The field size vs player size feels much more correct now. And, I'm happy about that, too. Throwing deep really feels like throwing deep and u feel that separation between WR, CB, and SS/FS. Instead of everyone being in the same general area. Anyways, I'm happy and can't believe I'm saying this, but, 'Good job, ea madden team.' Lol.

It would be quite something if all the people who never have anything positive to say about Madden held these other sports games to the same critical standard they hold Madden to. I mean seriously, it's a video game. Some of the criticisms I see on the net are just laughable. Nitpicking over the most trivial stuff. I'll bet there are a ton of people who often go right to instant replay so they can meticulously scan the field looking for things to nitpick about on their favorite message board. But when it coms to other sports games they'll overlook a ton of of the same type of imperfection.

Right. Cause MLB The Show and NBA2K both have legacy issues. 2k's commentary is very repetitive but you never hear a complaint about that. The Show is just straight out boring. Just like real baseball so I guess they did get "Sim" right.

Do we still not have penalties? realistic movement, footplanting? Not getting a good feeling again this year.

Both those things (Movement and footplanting) are definitely in the game I love not being able to swerve and pick up 20 extra yards every time. And in my time playing I thought WR/DB interaction was much more present then previous versions of Madden.

Re: Madden NFL 15: Retail First Impressions

Played first full game with Titans @ Soldier Field.

1.Graphics wise, the game has even out done last year in a way like wow.
2.Locker actually resembles himself as he walks up to the line.
3.Defense is actually fun once you figure out what is going on.
4.Played as Casey for most of game, had an early sack then I was double teamed the rest of the game.
5. No fumbles either team
6. scrambled left with Locker, he threw across his body then got hit and threw a perfect dart 40 yards down field (looks to be an issue again with accuracy)
7. Cutler controlled by CPU did overthrow Marshall a few times.
8. Lance Briggs head is HUGE, as well as many other players, I mean its very noticeable
9. Kicking is different but it works
10. stadium, scoreboard, field is awesome
11. half-time was cool and so are the tv broadcast, seems like CBS without CBS. very cool

based on one game I would give it a 8/10. Better than last year but still odd movements, too many perfect throws, Jim & Phil, play calling will take some time to master as well. Nice step forward for sure.

Re: Madden NFL 15: Retail First Impressions

Looks like I will have to wait on OPS experts and sliders. The game feels great, looks great but I have some issues. Let me preface by saying I've been playing madden since year one but I'm a causal player so I play on all pro and always remain competitive. Here was my problem.

TB vs Hawks. They beat me 35-14 sounds reasonable but...
Wilson was 20-20 did not throw one incomplete pass, that has never happen to me in a game. The other was not a single penalty. The sliders were default and I played in all pro. Also simply no fatigue Lynch ran the ball every time.

I worry about the high completion percentage. Why have they not fixed this? Once again no penalties, they have not fixed that. Love the game but year after year the little things kill the realism of the game. Please experts on sliders fix this though in a perfect world it would be fixed out of the box.
