Seriously......it is IMO the best video game representation of the game on the field I have ever played. It's a strong statement, but for me it really feels great.

It's time to put that other game to rest....it's age is showing big time now when you fire this game up.

Madden 15 is not perfect by any stretch, and it still has some annoying legacy issues. The physics still have some wonky moment's, the play by play is not where it needs to be, but the camera angles, stat swipes, commerical/timeout/injury break aways, pre-game and halftime (finally) are a great start for this gen to build off of.

Gameplay wise....it's more organic than any football game before it...and that point is not close for me.

AI wise.....far better. Perfect? No? But a great foundation to build from. Think about it this way too. Last gen it took them till M25 (imo of course) to make a really deep and rich football game. I was never satisfied with any previous Madden last gen till M25....not once.

Here we are and their first real attempt (M25 was a port last year) on the PS4/One and they really made a fun, immersive and challenging game of virtual football.

The game is what you want to make it. I am not looking for flaws. I am looking to have fun and have a deep franchise. I know CFM has it's detractors...but I actually love it. Far better than franchise ever was last gen. And far better than the others games buggy as hell and cumbersome franchise mode. That never get's talked about either BTW, the AI back then was inferior, budgets, contracts...it sucked. Huge improvement now from previous gens in regards to depth.

Presentation is really getting there too.

Hey everyone has their own opinions. No one is right or wrong. But I am really really happy with this game and like I said...a good patch and this game goes to another level.

With the right patches it could be the best Madden. On field? Nah, it still hasn't touched APF. Too many poor, broken, or missing elements. I respect your opinion though. Appreciate the response.

I can respect APF being considered the best on the field. It is a very good game of football. Can't deny that.

I am some what Madden biased though...I will admit that as I have been a hardcore Madden player/fan for 26 years now. So when they get things right...I do get a little excited and have some passion about it LOL.

No problem totally respect that. The honesty about having a bias is refreshing, especially in this forum. #salute

I love how Don Muhlbach made the Lions roster as a LS but I can't play him at LS because reasons.

I love that INT attempts count as Pass Deflection. In the past only the pass deflection animations did.

APF is my all time favorite football game but I am not sure this is totally true. Last time i played it it had started to show its age. I get the sentimentality for 2k games I do, but would I rather play APF over Madden 15 at this point? For the first time the answer is no.
