"Awesome gameplay" what a joke I guess you love it when yo can go 20 for 20 on pass attempts or when defensive ends can't set the edge or you can easily throw for 300 in the first half no matter what setting its on or what sliders you use madden is far from any sim football game the last good madden was back in the ps2 days have not made a good one since then. Like someone said earlier I'm not excited for it but I'm still going to buy it because it's the only football game to play. I've resorted to playing madden on PC and updating those rosters that's how bad madden has been. Let's all just pray madden 15 isn't just an updated roster from last year.

I guess not all of us are as awesome at Madden as you so we can actually enjoy it. To each his own!

The logic is clearly stated at the end of my comment: it goes a long way to sustaining immersion. In the end, you don't have to understand; it's an opinion.

It just feels like they are trying to force you to play the game the way they envision rather than letting you have your own experience with a well made product. I think I'm gonna put Madden on the same upgrade cycle as my phone...every other year. Looking forward to 16 where they may drop support for last gen and be able to totally focus on an awesome Next Gen game. I do like what I see thus far, but Ive got my sliders set on 25 to give me the same results Im seeing minus the "new" features...so I feel like I'd basically be paying for a graphical boost.

Ya I feel the same as far as them making you play the game their way! Why cant we just have a sick franchise mode with full control and full customization?? Looks like 2k might have got the hint; maybe if we are lucky Madden will follow suite? Fix the interface of the game, add back all the things they took out of the game from years ago, make it so we can do a sim style franchise like the old days plus cpu vs cpu with a nice tv broadcast style presentation and custom cams!

This years presentation looks blah to me; too much zooming in all the time
Grass looks nice (its soo pretty)
Game play will always be clunky
No Franchise Mode and CCM is missing way too much to be legit
The best thing about Madden is: that its the start of another football season!

Example: A WR is running an out route down the sidelines. The WR has the CB beat and has good separation. The SS/FS is overtop but will not have enough time to get there. In Madden, It has been impossible (for the most part) to put the ball in that window. Either the CB will miraculously catch up to the ball (the ball should be faster) or the SS/FS will get there in time. Also, you just cant throw over the shoulder and away from DBs. I hate to bring up 2K, but in that game I could put the ball wherever I wanted and away from DBs. I could even throw at a guys feet if I wanted too. All I want from Madden (as well as the other additions) is Full control over where I can put the ball.

Dude madden has that, you can place the ball where you want by using the analog stick..

Random draft classes are a nice addition, a massive upgrade over the premade draft classes. But still can't edit drafts, and that makes me sad. Haven't decided yet if I'll buy. Probably wait till the reviews come out so I can wade through the hype and see what the reality is.

Random draft classes is the biggest upgrade for me. No more questioning draft practices of others in a CFM.
