Even with a mega patch, it still has some more work to do to dethrone APF. Now would I rather play Madden than APF, hell yeah! But when Madden frustrates me I can't go back to APF, I just play nothing.....

Just imagine if 2K could have kept making NFL games, where it would be today. I get pissed just thinking about how bad we've been screwed.

Why is it that we are dealing with the same crap that we've dealt with for the last 10 releases of madden? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All valid questions my friend.

I was with you up until NBA Live came up.

I don't get where this perception that the game is being poorly received, is coming from.


Honestly, I cant remember an experience where if I outcall and out execute my opponent, the right outcome occurs, the vast majority of the time. I'm shutting people out, who try to just wing it, and don't have a sensible approach to the game and clamping down on people with predictable, repeat playcalling. The CPU is a challenge, and not in a way that feels artificial and cheap, for once.


The game does need a patch to clean up some bugginess, but overall, this has been a complete treat to play.

I downloaded and played Madden 15 for a bit.

It is better than Madden 25 and is fun.

Regarding Ryan Moody, his videos are detailed and he is correct to point out some of the terrible flaws. With sliders, I assume that some of those issues can be remedied.

I did not play Madden football for seven years. After playing Madden 25 and now Madden 15 -- It is clear and obvious that the game has really improved.

Is it as good as what we SHOULD HAVE ?

No, not really too close; we deserve much better.

However, it seems that those making the game have a conscience and care about making a good game.

I feel that as long as the current Dev Team keeps making strides forward and keep progressing the game, that we should not blame them for the Years-And-Years of constant lying we received from EA Sports.

Most of the issues Moody brings up are legacy issues, the root of all evil in Madden that have been in the game for years and years, and it seems like Tiburon either can't fix them or don't want to fix them.

We will see soon enough, but you can't tell me he graphics and player detail from that trailer dont surpass Madden 15. But I should have stayed quite til we seen real gameplay.

Agree well stated.
