Madden NFL 15 Developer Livestream, Watch it Here

really love the X's and O's this year. Once this game gets animations correct I think I'll finally be able to buy an NFL videogame again.

The game looks vastly improved and I'm looking forward to playing it but plays like what happened at the 58:54 mark really irks me. Why isn't that a fumble?

Been playing Madden on PS4, the DB play is already in the game. To me, this is just building on what they started, which is good.


The Receivers need to PLAY the Ball! I agree with the fellow OS members on here explaining that the WR's are on rails and the DB's have all the reaction.


Passing hopefully is fixed when it comes to angles, Fades and basically dropping it over defenders.
If not, throwing can be frustrating.......Yeah, Yeah, Learn to read the "D"! Like I said, I've been playing PS4 version of Madden and I know how to read the D. It's no longer chucking it all over the field and the WR's win. Thumbs up!

Oh, and about the WR's batting the ball down. I really, really hope they made it where CPU controlled WRs do this, too. By the way they were explaining it, I'm guessing they didn't, but I'm gonna hold out hope that they will.

Just please let the CPU do everything that human players can do.

I know most of you guys are gameplay guys and that's cool...You all seem happy about what you've seen so I'll take your word for it about all these schemes and breakdowns etc because I "understand" football on a basic level. I know what cover 2, 3, wide 9 all that is but I couldn't even begin to explain all the technique behind it, how far the corner is suppose to be off the line etc lol ...So if you guys say what you've seen is good *thumbs up*

BUT...

My purchase will come down to CFM so overall I'm impressed with all of this (mainly because most of you are) and I can only hope this much emphasis went to CFM.

Well, this definitely changes things for me. After playing a few seasons of M25, I didn't really have high hopes for this year's game. It just seemed like Madden would always be Madden. However, today's/yesterday's stream really changed things for me. This team is getting things done and I like it. I don't expect perfection or anything near in this year, but I do like what I have seen so far.

I'll keep an eye on this game even more closely. EA and the team really has me on edge now and I am awaiting a demo to really get some hands on experience. If it is good enough, EA may have joined the list of purchases this year that includes GTA V, Project CARS, The Last of Us, and NHL 15. Not a bad list at all to join there and it excites me Madden and football video gaming is possibly returning to the level it should be at which is on par with those games I listed.

Good job Rex and crew, you really are staying true to your word and I am starting to get excited about video game football again. If I can play this, NHL, and The Show all year round, it'll be like my childhood all over again in terms of enjoyment. Who doesn't want that back?

Wow! Absolutely enjoyed this video. Appreciate the time, effort, and honesty from the team. This is what we need! I feel like, for the first time in years, I will be able to actually have fun with this game! Madden 15 will most certainly be a day 1 purchase for me.

Also, love the positive feedback coming from this thread!

That's the biggest compliment I can give them, that after watching them play M15, I actually want to play it too. I haven't been able to say that about Madden for awhile, watching people play the last few versions has made me sick to my stomach at times, lol.

Even though I'm buying to support the cause, I hope that desire to play the game extends past the first 2 weeks. Like others have said, I think however CFM turns out will have a huge impact on the longevity of the game for me because regardless how balanced the game is, I can only play so many hollow Online Ranked games.
