Madden NFL 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XB1/PS4)

[Peter_OS]

Hit a winning field goal to end the game, and no player celebrations with the kicker and his players. Come on EA you could have done better here.

Cuts right to the end of the game where players from each team meet up to shake hands and the game ends.

4th quarter ends with a tie, and there is no audio (for about 10 seconds) while a cut scene shows the players on the sideline with the coach. When the OT starts then the audio (fan and commentary) resumes.

Replays are just plain awful in the game. The camera is zoomed in, and at times it doesn't show the entire play. They need to work on this part of the game for next year.

Don't want to derail the thread, but I'll just say a basketball game is given more freedom with player detail and graphics simply because it has less to render than a football game. Comparing NBA Live to the other game in it's sport though, it isn't as good imo. Sadly, we have nothing fair to compare Madden to....

Its become freaking impossible to pass nor run in this game, with that said, I just played the most intensive online game in my madden career.

I was using the ravens and the opponent was the eagles. I had 3/10 completions for 8 yards and was losing 28-0 by the end of half time. But I was starting to figure out his offense and decided to do short passes in the second half. With a bit of luck and a lot of praying I had two interceptions and two forced fumbles which allowed me to come back and win with 29-28 with 4 seconds remaining on the clock.

What game what a game!!!!!!!

Man I have no idea what I am doing wrong...I don't mine that long bomb success is low, which is realistic..

but I dont understand why my QB isn't placing the ball ahead of the WR on fly routes. Almost all of them are bring underthrown and intercepted.

I hate that. The passing game needs work next year in all aspects.

Yeah, throwing over the top is almost impossible unless a receiver is wide open. I thought it was just me.

I had a 300+ yard passing game with Cam Newton the other night, but I don't think I had one pass over the top all game.

I just wanted to know if the same is true for next gen about the QB play

a quick observation on the qb play.

Robo QB does still exist, however the inaccurate passes that EA advertised is in the game. However its poorly implemented, here's why.

AI controlled teams QB's will complete 4/5 passes in a row, then will throw an incomplete pass. Most of the passes are thrown in a way that resembles the QB throwing the ball out of bounds. Theyll miss wide open receivers on passes that a 4th grader will complete. Its not incomplete because of pressure or a mistimed play. The pass could be short/long/medium, the receiver will be wide open and the QB will totally lost the ball to them,.

Again, IMO the animation clearly resembles the animation for throwing the ball out of bounds.

dont know if anyone else notices this, and exists in next gen

I disagree. If you get the right matchup, and right timing with the throw, over the top throws, while rare, are possible. Personally, I find if I have a matchup where my WR is faster (and maybe taller), and Defense is in press coverage on a go route, you just wait for the WR to beat him, then throw a leading lob, and it usually works. I've had multiple game with 500+ yards. (That's also because I'm definitely pass heavy, but still).
