Madden NFL 15 Developer Livestream, Watch it Here

I'm liking what I see for the most part. I'm shuddering after seeing Peyton Manning shrug off that sack from the DT. That could most definitely happen in Real life but I'd be more worry free if that animation was strictly given to QB's more known for it. Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck, Cam....

Very impressive video. These guys are the most knowledgeable developers I've seen. Very detail-oriented, which is good.
The game looks better than it ever has. Unless there is a game-killing bug (seems doubtful at this point), I'm all in.
Haven't been this excited for Madden in years.

Something I'm very pleased with is how on top of finding and fixing glitches and exploits they seem to be. How many times have we been told how great the game would be then we get it and wonder if they played their own game? Like when he said someone found a nano blitz and they started fixing it right away. I'm sure they won't catch everything but, at least they are honest and are trying. I'm actually looking forward to playing some online ranked games for the first time in years.

Me too!

Normally I'm just an offline franchise guy, but if everything is as tuned as it seems to be I'll be playing some online quite a bit.

Used your sliders for M25 as well. Did you catch what RG said about sliders being unlocked from difficulty? Any idea what that means?

The older teams are taking a bad rap on this point...

I know from first hand experience that guys like Ian and his team were hyper-sensitive to testing for and fixing bugs and exploits - doing it in real time at past community events even (or in Ian's case online and posting options and changes to be viewed)....the problem is a dev team - even as large as Madden has - is MASSIVELY out gunned on release day for finding exploits and bugs...take 100 game testers and give them 2 weeks (80 hours x 100 testers = 80,000 hours) and compare that to release day + internet forums/chat rooms = 4,000,000 users at even 30 minutes each = 2,000,000 hours...

I appreciate the efforts we are seeing, but its just not right to say other teams did not try or care...they may not have been as good or as up front, but this team is just as out gunned in the end as any other...I expect PLENTY of glitches...I just hope that they are able to patch and or offer enough manual options to counter them as they have shown so far!

Just means when you change sliders it won't go to custom. Madden 15 will work like NCAA. If you chose All-Madden difficulty you can change sliders to what ever and it will stay all Madden. I just hope they work right.

Thanks, that's good news. Really looking forward to it.

After watching him in this video I believe Rex is the best thing to happen for us with madden.
