Madden NFL 15 Developer Livestream, Watch it Here

These guys really seem to be talking alot about what's ruined online and H2H play...that's exciting for me to hear...along with the pass rush, hot reads, defensive adjustments...definitely like what I'm hearing, though the offline guys are probably not going to like it as much...

Disguised D now on the stream I am watching...that should add a lot of variablility to playing D...sounds nice

"How much time you have in Madden should be how much time you have in the NFL"

"I suggest you understand the concept of a hot read"

Another big issue for me in M25 was that OP pass blocking. Could literally stand in the pocket for 10+ seconds on a regulard basis. NFL average is under 3. Now let's see if they really force people to start making pre-snap reads. Even a weak pass rush will get the the QB in under 5 seconds in most situations.

I'm loving what I've seen so far. The tools on defense is exciting.

Yo they are really going feature to feature on things they've added to stop unrealistic H2H play. I've got to say that is a pretty huge based on all the debates we've had here about who they are really catering to with Madden.

For example, putting QB contain to one button is great for me. I use to have to switch to both ends and manually hot route them to contain to stop over scrambling users and if he snapped the ball quickly I was screwed. One of the major headaches to playing online solved simply.

Every time they try to show a "great defensive improvement" the offense ends up winning the play. At least we know they aren't choreographing anything.

He's describing how they compared NFL stats to gameplay to balance it.

Soooo you're doing what many of us have been doing in the slider forum here for how many years? Wasn't so hard was it guys? Seriously.

So, every skill level has been tuned individually instead of just tuning everything on All-Pro.

My anticipation for the demo has gone up. I don't know how everything is going to eventually play out, but I like the approach they are taking so far with some of this stuff.

I don't know how this game is going to turn out, BUT, I like what I've HEARD with some of these features. I might prefer some things being another way, but at least it's in the game. For instance, I'd prefer the coverage disguises to be on the fly and not an actual play you call, but, at least show 4 cover 2 is in the game so a person can work around with stuff. Blitz bluff seems to be pretty cool.
