This is funny. EA should post what the hardcore Madden gamers are saying.

I just bought it today. I just had to have a NFL game and I hope I like it.

I hope you like it too. Come back and let us know what you think. And if you have the time, could you go into things that are outside of gameplay. Franchise stuff, like simmed stats, CPU roster AI, balanced progression and things like that. And tell Thath she needs to spend some of those big paychecks buying us all PS4's.

LOL, I sure hope that doesn't happen too often. Just remember, its a video game not real life so weird things are bound to happen at some point.

Well that sucks. Can't play pro bowl in this game. I was looking fwd too it!

I like it. I'm not gonna lie, I like it. It's by no stretch a perfect game...but it is what I feel it's ps3 counterpart should've been. The computer AI is tougher, making those highlight reel plays is tougher, etc... That being said, I do think that if they were working on this game for 2 years it should be just a bit more of a step up in terms of the hardware that it's using now. I've been through many a year filled with anticipation of August, only to be let down and disappointed. The next gen game is not a step in the right direction IMO, it is a leap onto a new path.

I've only played a half, thanks to NBA2K melting my brain, but what I played of Madden I liked. I am a bit disappointed with the graphics, but it's still the best looking Madden ever. Mainly, what little I played was fun. I like this game.

Perhaps there could be another thread later on with such thoughts posted. Heck, even the Gatorade time outs in CG M25 were no big deal to me early on, until I saw them for the 500th time.... I am particularly interested in hearing about CFM immersion factor and gameplay balance, as these are the features that keep me coming back for more. I am admittedly surprised to hear such good feedback so far and look forward to hearing more. The only reason for me to buy a PS4 would be if this game delivers the goods.

Frankly, I'm shocked at how positive the next gen impressions have been, esp. considering the reception current gen has, and continues to get...

Sounds like the graphics / gameplay and sim engine has taken a step forward...

In addition to what the above posters are looking for feedback on, I'm curious if:

1) Formation Subs are back and fucntional

2) Auto Subs work

As well as "anything and everything" that pertains to Single Player / Offline / CCM / Sim

Thanks guys!

$$$ is thankfully not the issue with my purchase...

M25 and the "awkward" and lengthy transition from PS2 to PS3 (which wasn't until M10, IMHO) are...

Color me:

Shocked and cautiously optimistic...
