    Re: Madden NFL 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XB1/PS4)

    Honestly, I'm a little disappointed in the commentary.

    I think I've heard "...and they are in on Peterson" 7,000 times already.

The lighting in M25 is progressive, and it's brighter:

        M15 - 1pm


        M25 - 1pm


        They probably went darker in 15 to make the details stand out, but they went too far in my opinion. It all looks like it's under overcast skies in 15, smh.

        That said, M25's player models are pretty bad for the most part. Colin Kaepernick looks like a balloon in that game.
        The stadium fields are the worst part of the game visually IMO. The player models look fantastic, but all of the field surfaces look a little funny. Colors are kinda off, they don't really look like grass/turf. The game does seem to be sporting an exaggerated gamma or something, making jersey colors really vibrant but making the lighting feel overly dark. Still M15 looked pretty cartoony, the lighting looks exaggerated in that pic.

          Impressions after over a week with the game (PS4-Allpro-W/Sliders)
          awesome job by this development team. for the first time in years it feels like Madden does most of what is aiming for well. the game still feels like I have a lot more to experience in terms of gameplay depth and controls. not many repetitive animations and situations. every game feels new and different. lots of organic tackles.

          The new camera options are great and well over due. even the presentation cams and cuts are done very well. I love the D cam, makes playing D a challenge. the CPU makes me feel like im working to stop them and feel like im always on the verge of messing up and giving up yardage (causing some tense defensive drives) without feeling like its cpu cheating. loving popping back and for the between the cams.

          I could go into detail but the pros and cons have been covered well, but i dont see a lot of the cons personally, the pros are on full display this year. I am very pleased with the gameplay!

          EA suits, get out of these guys way, they know what they are doing. Great job Rex and the guys!!! im loving M15

            Yeah, this has been one of my most underrated additions to the game. I love the fact that I can quickly change cameras throughout the game. I like changing my camera depending on if I'm running or passing, controlling a D-Lineman versus a safety, etc.

              One of my minor critiques that's been an issue for me for awhile now is the way players turn after they catch a screen pass or a button hook. When they stop and just sit down and catch the ball, it's hard to control which way they turn up field. In the NFL, you see guys sit down in a zone of the defense, catch the ball, and make a quick spin up the sideline to make the first defender miss. It's very difficult to do that in the Madden series, and sometimes it makes it take too long to turn upfield on those WR screens so that defenders are able to pounce before the receiver is able to turn up field and pick up some yardage.

                Just won game 2 of my coach only CFM vs the Jags.
                Pretty fun game. Couldn't get much going early and RGIII threw 2 picks before finally settling in on a few drives.
                Got a crucial pick 6 late also

                27-10 Final
                After week 1 only thing I adjusted was bringing down USER Accuracy to 6

                RGIII (248yds 1TD 2 Ints) finished right at 70% while Bortles (199yds 1TD 2 Picks) was 66%.

                Gerhart was held to 68 yards rushing while Morris got 111
                CPU took 4 sacks (2 in late 4th quarter while RGIII managed to stay on his feet this game.

                Next up on the road vs Eagles..

                  I agree. I like the fact you can have it on a different default for both offence and defense. I like coordinator cam from ncaa ( think its called all22 in M15 ) and zoom. I wish they had last years zoom as an options as well.

                  The Defensive cam has added tons of enjoyment for me. I like how it smoothly pans around as you change players during the play, and even as you change direction. adds a different feel to the game, getting to the ball carrier can be tricky but very rewarding when you make a play.

                                There was a thread about this that A few of us have had the stuttering. Closing and opening Madden fixed it for us.
