    Madden 15: Four Ways To Keep it Fresh


    It's <del>difficult</del> beyond impossible to keep playing a game well after that sports season is over. Just the other night, I put Madden 15 in the PS4, excited to play it because it hasn't been touched since the Super Bowl.

    After three and a half quarters of a 9-minute game, it was turned off.

    The struggle is real. By the time hockey and basketball season are over, it'll be the dog days of summer in sports video game land.

    But there's hope for Madden. There are ways to defeat the system and make it enjoyable up until August when you're standing in line at midnight waiting to get Madden 16.

    #5- Download Capa's Classic Roster set! He is the Knight of classic football rosters. He has just completed phase I and has begun phase II. I have spent the last 2 weekends and my snow day today playing Madden with his set.

      Good read. So true on all levels. For $50+ dollars, if I don't play MORE than one connected franchise season, I consider my spend a waste. So, I do this to keep things interesting: http://www.truefannetwork.com/gobengals/ (this is not an advertisement!!!!)

        I keep it fresh by playing it on the broadcast camera :-)

              Just buy The Show. After NBA and NHL are over, you're into baseball season. Why not buy what is widely considered the best sim of the sport it's representing?

                The CFM Fantasy Draft is usually what I do after the real life season ends, I always do 1-3 different franchises to test them out and pick the one I want to play the most.

                  The only way to keep games alive, relevant and fresh nowadays for an extended period is to support and foster the editing/modding community. Heck I play more Super Tecmo Bowl over Madden because of this - a thriving editing community re TSB.

                  I know that EA is trying to pigeon hole consumers into gaming their way - by in fact doing the opposite as we see the removal of editing options year on year. Not going to work. They are on the wrong side of history.

                    Create and edit the draft class like for the 2016 draft we should be able to edit the players name , another thing I hope they fix is re-work the offseason the cap is off causing teams no pursuing to sign their great players but will sign a 72 overall . and during the draft teams draft by needs for example the seahawks wouldn't draft a QB in the first couple rounds maybe in 6 or 7 but maybe when Wilson is like late 20s .

                      I could not agree more! Playing on broadcast camera has given Madden a different feel. I have a great sliders set "HuskerFan 214 Broadcast Camera Sliders on the sliders forum.

                        Nice to see you're still doing this after all these years. I just can never find the time any more. I'm trying to get a page running with my old MVP 2005 franchise but even that is stalling before it gets underway.
                        We don't stop playing because we get old, we grow old because we stop playing.

                            I try it from time to time but how do you know who is open when passing

                              The Online CFM I'm in keeps the game fresh for me. We are nearing the end of year 4 and it's still a blast.

                              I have also become a huge fan of MUT. I used to laugh at playing that mode but, I'm hooked.
