More Madden NFL 15 Details Revealed

[Trick13]

Here we go again - over sell and under deliver. The trademark of the Madden series.


I don't give a rat's backside about graphics. I don't care one single tiny little bit about player faces being accurate, tattoos, scars, individual blades of grass, and the stupid pictures on the "player card"!


So, see the transformation can take a friggan hike...


Adaptive AI,
tiered defensive play calls,
press coverage on the TEs,
double teams,
route recognition/reading within zone defense
delayed blitzes
simplified def hot route controls (eliminating the excessive button presses)
save defensive pre-play adjustments
Dline stunts
game- plan settings like NCAA "aggressive, balanced, conservative"
Defensive "situational AWR" no covering zones out the back of endzone
pass rush moves on the buttons (at least in addition to the sticks)
all time every pass route based passing - no more route changing throws
press coverage (including the bump) in zone defense
force fumble while dragging player down ability
true consecutive hits, CPU players "piling on" rather than watching
return of multiple blocking ratings making OL harder to develop
route disruption/ chucks within the 5 yard area
Show blitz separated from bring safety into the box
more player movement on defense - pre-snap
recalibration of movement controls so you can creep, walk, jog, run, etc
ball tracking that requires player to see before he can catch
no more interceptions of passes the defender didn't visually acquire


And that is just a short list of what might get me to warm up to the new Madden - the hype train is a crappy ride that always ends at a terrible and disappointing destination...

I'm really hoping that EA Sports can bring something revolutionary to Madden 15, but then again EA has a track record of letting us down

dont get excited man...they do this every year. they hype you up with bunch of bullet point selling points and when you pop the disk in and play you quickly find out its not much different than last year. some things get better, others get worse...

All I see are bullet points for the back of the box and information to sell the game to the average/casual Madden gamer. Ofcourse at this point I guess we shouldn't expect anything more. I'll wait and see what REAL improvements are made before I even think any more about M15.

Madden was already DOA for me anyways. No mention of new passing so we get throw a wr open again as well as another new way to ask madden. I'll be skipping based on this info alone. I haven't got on the hype train in years, though.

Hopefully E3 will reveal madden is no longer exclusive and someone is going to try a football game. It's the only shot I have at a football game I'll enjoy.

Madden is still exclusive - in so far as the consoles. Your only hope would be for someone to pay for the license to make a game for computers...


...I would love that, but I just don't see it happening even though I think 2k could do an awesome job with it...

I'll just wait and see then decide.
