Love the direction this team is going, and will definitely support this vision/direction with a purchase. Cannot wait as this year is finally the return of the "Madden Holiday" where I take release day off and play Madden all day!

This is why I do not see 1 year being a fair assesment.

Consider the Sim quality their other sports titles are pushing and the fan fare those games are gaining. If Rex and Co. are given 2-3 more years to develop what FIFA and NHL have: I am not so sure the slope will rise but there will always be a peak so hopfeully they know their baseline & learn to play hard within their baseline and ballpark and not swing for the fences in a league they are not built for.

If Madden can continue in this course I can see them finally being branded w the phrase "if you love Football: this is the game for you!" - as JP might say

There are tonnes of folks who are not soccer fans but who watch the World Cup for the spectacle - Madden can create that same sensational buzz if they stay the course.

There are other games who have reached that fulfilment in their genres and I can picture Rex's crew reaching that pinnacle if they are given more time to develop that world cup product: just as the NFL Commisioner is trying to expand the NFL overseas.

It will be more telling to see how this title rates out on Metacritic and via other media outlets than via sales, in my consumer opinion.

This stream "sold me".

I saw so many things that I liked.

I think things are really heading in the right direction. The game looks fun. Thanks for the stream guys!

Twitch doesn't like to cooperate with my computer, so I'll just have to take everyone's word that this game looks much improved. The last Madden I spent significant time with was M10, and I'm hoping that this edition will get me back on board. It's rare that I see this section of the site so positive. Hopefully that's a good sign.

Does this work better?

It's the gameplay portion of the stream, which was probably a little over half of the whole thing. Starts in practice mode but has full gameplay later (up to halftime)

Much better. Thanks a lot. A lot of times when I try to watch Twitch videos on my PC it buffers like crazy for some reason.

Came here to criticize, watched the video, ended up preordering M15.


Impressive, to say the least.

I really like this Madden team! More than any other in the game's history. These guys just seem to get it.

That being said, Donny Moore is another story. We've seen it with the FBG ratings, that when entered, drastically improve the game play. Not sure why EA hasn't acknowledged this.

Arcade "esque" ratings give Arcade "esque" game play
