Probably because the presentation is the same as current generation. Looks like better presentation will have to wait till Madden 15 or NFL 2K15 (Hopefully)!

I'm shocked that there wasn't a single feature in the trailer about improved defense. Nope, instead they gave better blocking. They just don't get it

They don't say how it's different but I imagine it's necessary in order for the OL to know when and who to double team when pass blocking.

Well, to be fair blocking is one of the core components of gameplay that REALLY needs to be touched on and it's a good thing that they are. With that being said defense is also a BIG component as well.

BTW you may be interested to here some of the things said about defense in the interview with Rex Dickson. Whether the things being said will actually come to fruition is yet to be seen.

Ok. So under the hood is all the gameplay improvements we want and expect to have... I get it! Like any successful football team you need to build from the inside out. So with that in mind... Madden 15 should look nothing like Madden 25? We should be getting a game that's as exceptionally eye pleasing as 2K14 right? I'm just glad 2K14 has raised the bar so that we know what we should expect when it comes to Next Gen gaming. Madden may not have any direct competition but the standard of Next Gen gaming has been set.

Others expectations might be higher and that's great, but eye candy is lower on the list for me vs how the game plays.

Always has been, always will. Madden has been so underperforming in game play the last several years, but has been pleasing eye candy.

I'd prefer the pendulum to swing the other way for NG, but that's just me.

There are other game play improvements that need to be added, but it's a good start.

So true all sports gaming developers will hopefully strive to have there games on par or even better then first year game NBA 2K14! I really do have a good feeling we are gong to see some mind blowing sports games over the next few years on next gen systems! In fact it has already been said by Mark Cerny that it will take about 3 or 4 years before most developers can take full advantage of the PS4 hardware. There is so much untapped power left to be used.
