A quick(ish) review:

Graphics: The Good: Great field effects, with the gradual wear, grass coming up when players are running and nice looking grass itself.

The Bad: The worst graphics I have seen on PS4 so far. Some things I swear looked better on old PS2 Maddens. Compare these graphics even to PS3 NCAA and they aren't really favourable.

On - field Game play: The Good: I think the passing is pretty good, and pass blocking is reasonable on the whole. I also think the speed of the players is pretty realistic.

The Bad: Hardly any penalties with default sliders, but that can be fixed. Poor interaction between receivers and DBs as someone mentioned above.

Presentation: The Good: I really like the menus, and the layout of CFM is nice. Good stat overlays in game and on the pause menu.

The Bad: I know I mentioned the graphics already but I think they take away from the general game. You have great looking menu screens and then underwhelming on-field visuals.

Sound: The Good: They've definitely improved the commentary this year. It actually seems to relate to the action on the field and seems more NBA 2k-like. I always enjoy the NFL Films - style menu music too.

The Bad: Quiet referees when announcing penalties.

Overall I'd say that even though the game doesn't feel next-gen, it plays a good game of football.

I think for 15 we will see a massive visual improvement and a big step on the field as well.

Complete and total letdown, period.

Almost a carbon copy of 360/PS3 game, no discernible improvements anywhere of any kind.

Was very happy that I did not purchase - honestly I feel like I got taken to the wood shed by renting it, several hours and $5.95 I can never get back.

I am done with Madden - I will continue to attempt to throw out quality ideas on this site for improvements, and will undoubtedly poor over the previews and then the eventual reviews - but I am firmly locked into the "blankety blankin prove it already" camp.

I really believe that a site like this should organize some sort of "community" campaign in which we all wait no less than 2 weeks before purchasing and refrain from pre-orders all together - in other words it is time to make EA "prove it first" to get our dollars. I am not saying to not purchase it at all - but let's make EA sweat a bit. I doubt the long time community leaders here have the gusto - likely afraid EA will cut them out of community day events, early copies and what not - but I can't drop the cash up front anymore...

I suppose the next game will be make or break for a lot of people.

To tell you the truth I didn't realise this game was pretty much a port from last gen.

Having said that though it is a good edition of Madden and I'm pleased I made the purchase even after playing the first game and going "what the heck is this?"
