Very, very disappointed yet again. Will the franchise mode will never get better? Why are the Chiefs releasing Deathony Thomas, the Seahawks releasing Paul Richardson, the Giants releasing and then vanishing Andre Williams before the preseason is even over. This stuff should not be happening. I haven't even made it to the regular season yet and I'm already aggravated.

Man, loving the game.

I wish this presentation could get patched though. If anything. It stresses me out trying to read the stats. Some overlays only stay up 1.5 seconds. What's the point of having them? It makes me feel rushed and takes me out of the moment. Instead of feeling like I'm watching a game I feel like I'm in a tornado of camera cuts and overlays popping up. The transitions in some cases are great in most cases, it goes from one thing to the next too quickly.


Please make the overlays come up and stay up long enough to get enjoyment out of them. Ea did such a great job putting this stuff in, why don't they let us see it?

Are you digital ps4? I'm having some slight issues and it's worrying me that my ps4 is on the fritz since most people say it's smooth for them

Pappy, mine is now choppy... I have the disk PS4.. it is unplayable like that.. wowww

I have a disc copy. I haven't tried playing again since I posted my earlier message, but I'm hoping that doesn't happen all the time. My last game was pretty bad.

Is the lack of big hits in this game because of the NFL rules?

No, I just think they are trying to tone down the arcade blitz style hits it had. I would rather have no big hits than power slams and shoulder blocks all the time.

I've seen tons of big hits in 15... so far had a play where the cmp rb tried to do the hurdle moved he got lite up by my lb mingo and ball flew out and I've seen big hits on the qbs as we'll as wr's and te's.

I have zero issues with the tackles/hits. I've seen a variety of realistic tackling animations. Best it's been in a long time, IMO

This game plays great. Enjoy playing defense finally. The hits, well there are some weak ones but then there are also so decleaters. Hey really stepped it up and hope they continue on this path they are heading.

Played a good game Jets (me) 26 vs Dolphins (CPU) 17...Geno was Geno... Got hurt and Vick came in and it felt that he had more control of the offense. I'm loving this game. The only thing I would need is a good set of sliders... Rushing is very tough and that needs to be adjusted. Played on All Pro, 10 min, Speed slow and 0 threshold.

Honestly, this is the best Madden game ever. That is IMO. EA put some time into this. There are still plenty issues, but if this continues we are going to get a great football game.

Playing on all madden and feeling somewhat underwhelmed by the gameplay. I've played a few games and the suction blocking is really bad and DB's speed up unrealistically. It plays a lot like older maddens that way.

The game looks really good. Some inconsistencies but overall the look of the game is much improved. It also plays pretty good, players have more weight to them and tackling is a bit more of a chore.

It's all well and good to be positive but some people will give this game a 9 even if it really isn't that great and can't take criticism either..

With patches and some tweaking this should be a sollid game to be found here somewhere but typically madden wears out it's welcome a month in. Last years i actually thought had staying power as far as the gameplay but popped back in 25 just to comparre as i was hitting some gameplay issues about 5 games in. They are similar. Madden 25 actually gave me a better game on all madden default. It didn't feel as good though. The graphical leap is pretty noticeable. I actually like how in madden 25 running backs control well in small spaces how they stop and start though. Madden 15 everythign moves so fast it feels like skating somewhat. Running backs also are more powered and break tackles and just have more weight. I've seen some wonky animations so far in madden 15 where running back seem to just get out in space because of the suction blocking and break tackles unrealistically. It just seems like trying to tackle a bowling ball.

I've been buying this game for 25 years. I think it's ok to feel duped by EA sometimes. They advertise this stuff and some of the stuff they do is ridiculous. I would know. I've seen it.

Best part of the game so far is the opening sequence and skill challenges. It seems like great care went into that and like it was done by the madden community almost. It actually adds depth. The initial wow factor is high because of the graphics.

Overall it's a fun game and madden always is a fun game in some regard.

Good to see they finally added Wembley Stadium as a selectable stadium in Play Now.
