Let's hope for M15 they add independent WR/DB interactions + make the ball/throw not be tethered to the WR but rather a point on the field.

Oh! and work on those effin throwing animations EA, will ya?

It's in my PS4 bundle but this news is old news. Vita...who cares...Fan animations been played out to death. We'll see soon enough.

Graphics wise it was. But gameplay was not a huge leap IMO.

I've exclusively used online CFMs even for single player just because of the load time benefits since it's introduction.

I believe you about the load times, but it just seems counter-intuitive to me. Why would going over the internet be faster than straight off the HD? Just makes absolutely no sense. Again, I believe you since you must have done it both ways. Just saying I'm baffled over it.

Concerning line in Kotaku's PS4 review:

"We've checked out some multiplatform games like Assassin's Creed IV and Skylanders: Swap Force and marveled at their graphics. We've popped Madden in and wondered if we were looking at a PS3 game."

I guess that explains the lack of gameplay vids. Just like the ESPN MNF game previews. Can't really tell the difference just by looking at it.

Clicking advance is instant rather than my console simming every game and whatever other housekeeping it does before having to upload it to the server and/or then autosaving. Really one of my favorite parts of CFM, of all the big name features this small thing is so impactful. You don't even download a franchise file or anything, it's nice.
