Madden 10 VS Madden 15

[GisherJohn24]

I'm saying Madden 10 is still the best Madden ever made. I think its withstood the test of time and even with 15 out, I still say it's the best. But let's look why. The blocking and running game make it feel great and the problems i see with clipping on 15 put 10 over the top. Presentation also is probably jsut as good on 10. And in some ways better, especially because 10 has the NFL films music which really brings the NFL spirit to the game.


Graphics: Madden 15 easily. I don't think anyone can debate. Madden 15 blows 10 away


Gameplay: Defensively, I think 15 wins and is just more fun, that camera angle gives a unique fun, fresh perspective. Still got some bugs here and there, but for defense, Madden 15. The running game on both games is fun, but i still like how the blocking seems to be more polished in 10. I see less clipping in 10. The infinity engine is nice and more realistic at times, but I still think Madden 10 is a bit more polished for AI issues. If you have a broken AI, it can be make or break. It's not game breaking for 15, but some things that happen I would consider bonehead and I Didn't notice the AI problems in 10 like we have in 15. Gameplay goes to 10 for that reason. But very close.


Sound/Presentation: The commentary is probably a tad better in 15, but not much. The soundtrack Madden 10 might have been the best soundtrack they ever had, a ton of music, not to mention the amazing NFL Music from Sam Spence that you heard on the menu screens and instant replay. You can't beat that. Both had a pretty good halftime show, a bit lacking ,but at least they had one. Crowd reaction is better in 15 and they seem more intuned to what's going on in the game. Close call.


Final Call: Do reviews matter? Sometimes, sometimes not. But look it up, Madden 10 is sitll the highest rated Madden ever. Madden 10 is still my favorite Madden and it's not without reason, but it's very clsoe when I put it side to 15 which I still enjoy very much . Tackles look better in 15, graphics are better and the presentaion is slightly better. Both games have legends which is fantastic and you can create players too, fantastic. 15 does a lot of things right and sharing rosters to the world is a BIG BIG deal for me.... BUT.... continuous broken AI and clipping issues when you really dissect a play up close and the broken connected franchise (offline) for Madden 15 , I still say Madden 10 is a better game of football. Madden 15 is my #2 football game of all time. So don't think it's a slouch.


7.5 out of 10. Madden 15
8.5 out of 10 Madden 10

So your saying graphics, defense, commentary, crowd reaction, presentation, tackling, and sharing rosters are better in madden 15.

And, AI and less clipping is better in madden 10. Got it.

I would put madden 15 ahead of 10 just from your argument, but that's just me.

Glitchy plays and poor AI put 15 behind 10. I thought 10 was the most polished. If you want to go by ratings of user and critics alike, Madden 10 is still the best. Yes, I can still mention 30 things that 15 might do better, but I can say it for 10 vice versa too. Comes down to fun factor, not so much new offerings. Skills trainer, more modes, sure 15 wins. But again, Im' basing on FUN FACTOR. I played Madden 10 last night, I had more fun with it.

I like the old franchise mode from 10... i dunno, something just feels off when i play the new cfm. You could also move your team and create your own uniforms and stadium instead of being given premade ones.

Comes down to matter of taste I guess. I think being deeper with the connected franchise has some nice things, but I also just liked the basic franchise/season is Madden 10, probalby jsut as much if not more. Call me a basic guy. lol

I am going to skip over where you basically said Madden 15 was better in just about every category and jump straight to this line. What are we looking up and where is it the highest rate ever? On Metacritic it is an 85, the following Madden games were higher:

Madden 2003 - 95
Madden 2004 - 94
Madden 2002 - 94
Madden 2001 - 91
Madden 2005 - 91
Madden 06 - 88

IMO Madden 2005 was the best Madden ever, especially when it comes to franchise mode.

[GisherJohn24]

Doesn't it say on the madden 10 case "highest rated Madden ever?"
Confirmed yes it says that.

[GisherJohn24]

Maybe for the current gen since the 360 and ps2? Only thing I can think of. You can't put highest rated game if it's not true
