Anyone else noticed a lack of weather games in cfm? This seems to be the norm with ea football games. I'm in year 4 of my Bears cfm and only played in one snow/rain game. Playing CHI @ GB with clear skies late in the year just doesn't seem right.

just very boring game. graphics are nice, but everyone knows that doesn't matter. the defensive line play is a joke. players on defense do absolutely nothing even with the sliders jacked up and down.



one bright spot is the game def plays better on ps4 i have both. my xbox came with a free copy im going to buy last gens game

I really like the karma system in this game. Playing online i'm having a lot of fun. Just played a game where the ai just decided it was going to be a fumble fest for whatever reason. I scored on a sack and td. It came back and he did the same thing. Then I fumbled 4 times in a row for some reason. had to pause it and take a deep breath lol. It came back though. I stopped him and my defense held then he fumbled nad threw an int. 21-17 game over. This is something madden does under the hood I really like though. makes the game fun and addictive. It wasn't cheese either I don't think. Just the game decided it was going to be a fumble fest. Some amazing plays too that game.

I know they wanted to improve foot planting and prevent zig zagging.....but it seems like they've removed the ability to make quick changes of direction completely...I am actually pretty good at running the ball but I miss some big runs because of this...

When this game came out CPU controlled players on both sides of the ball would react to and defend against HB screens the best they ever have in this game. It was no longer a super high chance of success.

Since the tuner I've noticed this has changed. It went from being 50/50 back to about 85/15 as far as successful attempts based on what I've seen in a large number of user games the last week or so.


What is the counter to HB screen? Is there one programmed into the game, either via default play call or pre-snap adjustment? Thanks for any input. I guess if I really need to I can cover the HB myself but that takes me out of my ideal user assignment on defense.


Also, I highly suggest everyone tries to find a sim league to play in. This game, with realistic sliders, against sim users, plays as well as it ever has. Closest to real football probably in series history. There is no cheese, there is a counter for most everything and ratings matter.

Just discovered that half sacks are indeed in the game (just rare). My 2nd year DE finshed the game with 2.5 sacks and Elvis had 1.5

Just had a game where my opponent ran mesh and similar style routes the entire gm thru hurry up offense, smdh and had nerves to smack talk. Is this getting patched, this is almost like every gm people are running this successfully no matter what?

I would get bored out my mind playing against that person. What adjustments did you make to slow him down?

Come on EA can we fix the way the ball comes out of the QB's hand? I just watched Romo throw a 20yd spiral bullet, while getting hit, with his hand behind his head and the ball morphs out in a different direction than his motion. Just terrible.

I got the itch to play NCAA again since college football has been on for 4 weeks now. I created Miami's new uniforms(the best I could do) in TeamBuilder and downloaded them onto my 360 and fired up a game using my old sldiers I used in a dynasty that went on pretty long. Within 5 minutes of the game I was having some fun, but I never realized how much Madden is different this year on PS4 compared to NCAA then.

It blew my mind just how much the game really has changed. Not just graphically, but gameplay wise. The passing game in M15 is so much better and the pocket and line interactions are a lot better. The defense plays indescribably better. It's just a big jump after actually playing them on the same day.

It made me realize how good this year's Madden really was and it also kind of made me sad because I might not be able to go back and play NCAA with how much better Madden is this year.

Funny you mention this. I am still playing NCAA 14 on my trusty PS3...still love the game. But it does make you realize just how fantastic Madden 15 really is.

Madden 15 for me is GOAT as far as football games. The AI is second to none than any console football game before it.

Also I strongly encourage sim style Madden players to use and play defense exclusively from the defensive cam. Not only does this make the game feel that much more immersive, it truly makes you feel like your on the field and in the game. Do not user switch and tell me you won't get competitive games from the revamped CPU AI 2.0. Madden feels totally fresh playing from this perspective. Also play exclusively from the zoomed view on offense for a real challenge in the passing game and running game...this view puts you on the field vs the god view. It also shows off just how gorgeous the game looks this year.


The game is brilliant this year. A rousing success. A great patch will put it over the top.


Kudos to Clint and his team for really bringing it this year and proving this gen will be different.
So happy!

The new playcall screen ruins the game for me
