Madden NFL 15 - Defense, Presentation, Broadcast Team & Halftime Info (MyMaddenPad)

[johnprestonevans]

Just saw the new Madden 15 Halftime Show video. Yikes. It's been 10 years since 2K5, and this still looks like garbage compared to that Chris Berman Halftime show.

This looks and sounds nothing like a true broadcast halftime. The camera angles are all wrong. The pacing is slow and clumsy. Lack of music. No around the league highlights and updates. I'm sorry EA, but this seals the deal for me - a 3rd year now without buying Madden. : ( Very disappointing.

Presentation camera angles are all jacked up with this game yo. They keep hiring experts and it's still not right. I'm not saying Madden 12 cams were perfect, but how in Madden 15 can you have dudes celebrating big plays and the camera is not even giving them a tight shot, when you had it right 3 years ago? What happened?

What stations are these EA cats watching football on?

I am just now going through all the M15 information, but it seems to me the players are scaled better; am I just seeing things?

They are definitely scaled better.

I'm sure they absolutely want to do stuff like that but what you describe is far from a copy and past job.

The right/left stick pass rush controls sound cool if they're tuned correctly. I like the sound of the disengage button if tuned correctly. But I'm not a fan of only having a finesse & power move button. I'd want to know exactly what move I'm using. And no mention of the acceleration burst feedback being turn off-able. The last thing this game needs is more pop ups.

The tackling sounds ehh. Without new & improved animations, I'm not sure how good this could be.

Coverage sounds ehh. Without the implementation of WR/DB interaction, it can't be all that good.

It looks right to me, the opening kickoff camera where it shows the kicker up close is EXACTLY like what you see on TV. A lot of the replays look way more like what you see on tv now than ever before. The camera cuts to the coaches are authentic, as are the replays on TDs that I have seen.

Opening kickoff I agree. Beyond that and I have said it many times before the halftime highlight camera angle is horrible.

Need more replays and highlights for the halftime show from a further angle whether it be a broadcast angle or another angle with depth.
