I think it was confirmed that penalties pretty much weren't touched this year. Someone can correct me if I am wrong here

They also need to tune up the physics. I'm still seeing ball carriers arms getting bent back too far when grazing other defenders body parts with the ball. The ball needs to be tucked tight to the ball carriers chest when running through holes but it should swing freely when in the open field. Ball Carrying is not as dynamic as it should be.

I'll be honest with you. I think this is the best we're going to get from Tiburon. The gameplay, while still lacking, and not where it needs to be for this generation, looks to be better. Sadly, I can't figure out why Tiburon won't change the things that hold this game back. The presentation looks to be better. I really like the new camera angles and celebrations. I think, at this point, Madden will probably never be the game that we all want it to be. I really feel, the game's full potential, will never be realized. However, I don't think this is the fault of the developers. That said , I probably will be buying Madden 15

The atmosphere is super important for me in a sports game. The little things like the seamless celebrations after 1st downs, tackles for loss, TDs etc is major for me. I know my views are against the OS norm but for me its: 1. Atmosphere/Presentation 2. Gameplay (is it fun and varied) 3. Good single player modes 4. Simulation of sport 5. Graphics A perfect example of this is NBA2K. There are plenty of things that could be fixed from a sim standpoint, but 2K does such a good job of capturing the atmosphere of the sport that those things don't really matter to me because I'm entertained overall.

This may be a 'buy' for me as well. Not so much because I'm blown away by video of fantastic gameplay (because I am not). But I am blown away by the graphics (yes, the animations still need a TON of work).

But the biggest thing is I have not purchased a football game since madden 11 (sucked), I think I am at the end of my rope and need my NFL fix. Which absolutely blows since both EA & the NFL puts us in this position that we don't have any other options but oh well...

I am just hoping that I am not tremendously disappointed, and that things like losing full control of your ballcarrier to canned animations and bs plays in the passing game don't ruin it for me. If so then EA won't be getting my money after that for a few more years, and I will keep waiting for 2K...

Running backs still don't use their hands like they should either. Where are the push offs or RB's holding on to the backs of lead blockers backs as they guide them through holes ala 2K5? This stuff is way overdue. Come on EA!

The game just lacks so many animations, not to mention real quality realistic ones. Just little things missing. Not many nuances in player movement. No attention to detail in the actions of players on the field. As long as they keep going with these short choppy animations and that twitchy base movement, the game will never look realistic in motion.

Even with that said, it still looks like the best Madden in years..........whether that is a good thing or bad thing is up to you.

It is hard to understand how Madden's textures, models and lighting have improved so much, while the player movement and player interactions continue to look so dated.

Those areas of the game should be completely separate jobs for completely different types of employees, not a situation where your manpower has to suspend work on one element to work on the other.

From an outsider's perspective, it just seems like Tiburon either aren't hiring or aren't assigning enough people to work on those parts of the game.

If that's the case, then I just need to walk away.

Close the "Madden player" chapter of my gaming life and move on. Wouldn't be the first franchise I quit on and probably won't be the last.

I refuse to reward with a buy of a game that's not progressing. A real player that progressed this slowly would get cut. Might be time for me to "cut" Madden.
