Call me jaded, cause I am, but other than the pass accuracy, which is much needed, I feel I've read everything on this list at least once since 2010.

Finally, my question is, if I decide to play on All-Madden will this new logic be present, and will these new animations be present, because I swear those 300 plus new catch animations they added since however many years back only trigger on Pro. It would be nice if EA could pull back the veil on some of this stuff.

Just read a write-up by goodgamebro that mentions there are many more WR animations now because of the re-work of the pass accuracy, much more WR animations are noticed.

I don't understand why EA thinks that presentation means "let's add a bunch of cameras on the field and call it a day..."

That's not presentation.

And why is there a half-time show but they don't talk or show anything about the other games happening in the NFL so we feel immersed like we do on Sundays? Why don't they talk about injuries that happened? Why don't they discuss hot/cold streaks for a player, trends, predictions, statistics?

Also no post game show discussing the key players and showing their highlights? No other games also? They said they couldn't implement it or didn't have time or something.

Not that my expectations are high anymore, but just saying.

It still does this? I remember running into this glitch in Madden '10.

	Oh another nugget for Madden 15. You can only hot route one time coming out of the huddle until you get to the line of scrimmage. #Madden15

Love this. I don't really play online anymore and I wish you were limited to one or two the entire time but I'm sure this is big for online players.

# 86 apollon42 @ 06/10/14 06:50 PM

With new d-line moves, they should make O-line moves to counter it and then we could have full 11 on 11 online football.

I know some people are pessimistic, as they have the right to be, but things like:

Quote:


	Player celebrations are fluid and doesn't look like a cut scene. Other players are around when celebrating.

Quote:


	The match up stick allows you to see fatigue, route running, speed, height, run block, pass block. #Madden15

Small things yet HUGE changes for people who tried there hardest to enjoy M25. The cutscenes were ridiculously bad last year .The fact that you can't see matchups/fatigue in any realistic way is equally ridiculous when trying to play a SIM style. And we all know how unrealistic hot routes have been, dare I say ridiculously bad?

I think it's clear that EA has fixed a lot of little things that were big issues to people who can kind of enjoy Madden's gameplay.

And I couldn't be happier that they FINALLY added real skills training that teach football concepts not just how to press a button. The difference between the FIFA drills and Madden drills was just crazy.

My greatest fear is that as soon as someone loses a tournament or a ranked match due to an incomplete pass to an otherwise wise open receiver that video of that play is gonna hit youtube and the "why is my quarterback missing the wide open guy, COME ON EA" crap starts.

I am as excited for the inaccurate passes as anybody. If QB ratings actually matter now, wow, that is a HUGE step up. Please don't cave in on this one, EA

No need to fear that, it's going to happen without a doubt. People do it with things like fumbles already.

I don't think they would change it then change it back. They know people will complain but they have to be pretty immune to people complaining by now.

Literally, the thing I'm most excited about in accordance with better coverage. So frustrating having to play on 3 for pass accuracy to get decent results and by decent results I mean either on the button passes or balls 15-20 yards too far. Can't wait to see this in action. Never will be so excited to see incomplete passes in my life lol.

Yeah man, for sure.

Honestly....I traded in M25 for PS4 pretty much deciding I was probably done. I liked it a lot at first but over time the flaws killed it for me.

I told myself to not get excited, and I am definitely not jumping on the train as fast as I usually would in years past, but so far, the stuff I have read so far is very very exciting for me. I really hope to see it in action and experience it for myself in August.

The gameplay and presentation in Madden NFL 15 looks awesome on new features. Hopefully, Infinity Engine 1 or 2 will be introduced to the mobile version including other features similar to Madden NFL 13 on XBOX 360/PS 3 or Vita version (Connected Career as a coach similar to FIFA Series on mobile or Franchise Mode). Please bring multi-season for the iOS (iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch/Android) even if resembles to the Vita game couple years ago on top of unlocking player card by reliving the moment that some players/teams were featured in Madden 25. Don't mind if upcoming rookies are auto picked during the off season by having retirements including career ending injuries, free agency (similar to Madden 12), redo depth chart, and start next season. Hopefully it will bring in higher ratings in iOS version.

Yep, same goes for penalties. Only a select few of us actually want to see them in the game. The rest will just complain and say Madden is picking winners the second they have one go against them.

Are you serious? You're going by ONE guy that played the game who probably doesn't really care about most of the things we said.

Same way I feel. These dudes will be here regardless, they'll adjust. Same reason we can't get penalties and botched plays.

Vikings Jerseys are incorrect once again. I am over this garbage series.

Just think about how ridiculous that is for a second. If you want to enable arcade football for these tourney guys, simply create different settings. How about an arcade mode that turns off penalties or REAL FOOTBALL occurrences. This type of crap actually gets me pretty heated.

Yes. It's just the constant contradictions and flip flopping of Tiburon and some of their supporters. They are clearly pimping simulation football now, so we have every right to call them out.
