I got the game midnight last night first thing off the bat I noticed was the graphics huge leap from madden 25. True step feels much smoother as I don't get that running in mud feeling with the person I'm controlling. The overall speed of the game is much faster. Zone D And tackling are a good thing to witness and execute. Qb inaccuracies actually work, I was playing a friend online he had the cowboys and I was sending the heat and romo was off the mark all night. One thing that concerned me the double moves on againsts man to man coverage get to much separation that which is not good at all being they fixed this in madden 25 because it was present in madden 13 now back for 15. Other then that if your didn't buy you should, defense is back.

Played a game and a quarter. I was expecting basically the same madden 15 for ps3 but with HD graphics. I was wrong. The game plays entirely different.
As a CB I love that I can't cover a wr backpedalling now I have to turn. The qb was not robo as I read but I can see other qb being too accurate. I threw pretty bad but I have to get use to the different feel.
Overall I love it.
Specially how I can't turn on a dime with the defender. That wr blocks. When I made a tackle with the cb it felt really rewarding.
Love the few overthrows and how wr and db try to deflect/catch even if they are out of range.
The game has some all time madden flaws. Penalties doesn't work. Subs doesn't work as they should. The good news is I saw the CPU starter run for 24 and the 2nd string got 7 carries. Not sure if is was the fatigue or the design play but the result was nice seeing more than one rb with carries.Last edited by booker21; 08-26-2014, 08:29 AM.English, is not my first language.Comment

I'm really enjoying Madden this year. I did the skills trainer first because it's been a while since I played. Will be doing a test CFM later today.Comment

Anyone that says this is madden 25 with a few improvements is crazy. The game play has made a tremendous leap. Most noticeably to me would be the zone defenses and the need for the user to mix up their play calling in online or offline games.
Once you get use to the new play calling screen, I noticed that it really helps you mix up your play calling. I like to to use the concept section to mix up my play calling.Comment

Are you, by chance, ps4 digital?
I'm having slight issues too (I'm ps4 digital) that I didn't notice on X1 access time. Nothin huge but just slight menu lag and play calling screen in game seems a little unresponsive some times. I might reinstall or try the disc version"Successful people do not celebrate in the adversity or misfortune of others."

Re: Madden NFL 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XB1/PS4)
Some brief impressions:
As some of you know I am a big MLB The Show guy. I feel that game captures the sport like no other has ever done. I have always been a fan of Madden due to being an NFL fan, however it never was in the same regard as The Show. This years version is the closest.... Not saying its The Show, It is Not... But it captures the NFL feel better than previous versions. The players feel unique and the presentations improved. Defense is fun again. The sim stats need fixing via patch and if that is done it should help satisfy our football fix for now. So heres some pros and cons:
Pros
-graphics look great-lighting is really nice
-Defense is fun again
-Playcalling and strategy
-kicking meter is good just make it harder
Cons
-come on fix the penalties
-sim stats
-more sig styles and animations
Ill post more later

Re: Madden NFL 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XB1/PS4)
Just finished my first "disc" game. It was nice not to have to install the game again since I purchased the ea access package.
I played the as the Patriots vs the Giants. All-pro 8 minute quarters. I won 24-3, but I scored 2x in the last 2 minutes. A Brady TD pass then a pick 6 with Revis.
Eli was beyond horrible. He only completed 35% of his passes, so this gives me hope not every game has qbs completing 80% of their passes. (Haven't touched sliders yet).
Running the ball is hit or miss for me. I'm able to break some runs but nothing too big. But I average about 4 yards a carry.
I haven't had any trouble shutting down the CPU run game in about 11 games . Except for this game the CPU QB has been almost automatic.
Probably going to start my CFM today.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XB1/PS4)
Ok, so here we go. Honestly, I was going to skip this years Madden I didn't like how they were making it, things just weren't improving. But I'm GLAD I DIDN'T!! Madden 15 is good, borderline great. I've only done ONE game so far; but lemme tell you, in a nutshell, this game bottom line is just plain fun. I was the Giants and faced the Broncos (always my first game every year). It was close throughout, and at no point did I feel like the CPU was controlling the game. I will say theres a learning curve out of the box with difficulty adjustments especially on offense and a CPU defense, it got tougher. But that's a GOOD thing, it plays like an actual NFL defense would. Very cool. I will say the running game needs work, I personally dont think the Defense should be that over powered when it comes to stopping your run (I went 22 runs for like maybe 60 yards) I need work, but I dont suck soooo. Also the screens need tuning, I think my best screen was like 14 yards but averaged like 4 at best, the defense just covers it too damn well. But the passing game is tight once you get a hang of it. Again, very fun. I'm not a critique kind of person, but my score would be 8.5-9/10. Is it perfect? No, it's Madden, we know better. BUT given the track record; this is a must buy Madden. Anyone on the fence, I highly recommend going for the touchdown instead of punting on M15.
Oh and just to mention, I lost 30-27, only because of a nice 4th down stop just short of the line. Otherwise I probably would've taken it.Last edited by A_Quiet_Pro; 08-26-2014, 08:56 AM.Comment

One more thing about presentation. Maybe because I'm in play now or playing 8 minute quarters but I hardly see any stat banners. It seemed like almost every other play last year one would pop up.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XB1/PS4)
played my second game Browns(me) vs Steelers
this was yet another low scoring affair.... it was 13-7 at half.
steeler's got the ball but could only settle for a fg 13-10 going into the 4th.
so im driving in the 4th chewing clock etc on the ground and i go to pass across the middle of field deep to Gordon and troy P stepped in front of the pass and made me pay returning it for 6.... 17-13 steelers.
so i get the ball back and drive down and with less then a minute left in the game manziel found Gordon on a crossing route for late td pass and the win went for 2 and got it we win 21-17.
i was hoping to see the manziel money sign in the game but everytime he celebrated it wasent there.
so i can tell the difference between the qb's least so far between manziel and hoyer in the first game hoyer only competed 41% of his passes and seem to throw more bad pass's while in second game while using the running game manziel cmp rating was in the mid to near 70%.
Manziel had a great game both passing and running the ball he was 17-21 2 td's passing 1 int 227 yards and near 50 yards rushing.
gonna do some more testing of different teams today i may start grossman and shaw to see the difference in them as we'l in case when i start a cfm and either manziel or hoyer goes down i'll know there weakness and strengths.Comment

I love the NBA2k series. I believe it's the BEST sports series out there, and this one is no different. I don't care what no one says, but I do miss the PS2/XBOX/Gamecube days, where you had sooooooo many options. You had NBA Shootout, NBA Street, NBA Starting Five, NBA 2K, NBA Live, NBA Jam, NBA Courtside, NBA ballers and I think the most underrated NBA game of all time NBA Inside Drive 2003 (Paul Pierce on the cover). I say that because it was like an NBA RPG game when you created a player (this is just regular exhibition, not a mode like Myplayer). You had to play actual games to increase your player stats. I just like variety. This game looks great though.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XB1/PS4)
Played the equivalent of one game. A half against the Browns and the Chiefs.
Visually, it looks very nice. A definite step up from last year.
Love the presentation elements. Nice real time camera angles, enhanced crowd, etc. Commentary while still limited, there seems to be more emotion. The game feels alive. In the past, it seemed more robotic in presentation.
Not sure how I feel about the new gameplay view. One is close (great for running) and another is a bit too far away (better for passing). It's a little tough for these old eyes on the passing routes, but I'm sure I'll adjust. Might not be so nice when playing head to head as I'm sure my son and I will have different preferences.
Really liking the defensive camera switch to a lineman. Guessing the snap is tricky, but enjoy the game inside the game.
Gameplay wise, as I've read, defense is the name of the game. Maybe I need to practice, but it seems there won't be a lot of track races to pay dirt on every possession. On my first play from scrimmage, Stacy took it 15 yards on a pitch on All Pro. Thinking the pitch is still money like in Madden 15, I failed to pick up any yards the rest of the half going left or right. I was able to bust a couple 5 and 7 yard gains up the middle but they were all earned. Passing is difficult if not just because of the camera angles. I'm finding the windows being much tighter than any previous versions. You really have to time the routes and perhaps throw the ball much earlier.
Overall, very happy with my initial play time. The digital version went very smoothly and I was up and playing as the clock struck 11 pm. Now I'm paying for it as I'm going on less then 6 hours of sleep.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XB1/PS4)
I've noticed the delay or lag also im ps4 digital as we'll where it seems to skip when u trying to pick a play u choose and it seems to click pass play u want,
what i wanna know is why does it ask u to choose the way u wanna see the play calling and i select the traditional way or old way and we get stuck with huge play calling screens? if u choose old way it should go back to like the previous yrs look.Comment
