Not gonna act like I'm gonna skip out on madden. It looks good and if I have fun playing it that's all that matters to me. I'm not expecting some ground breaking new game from this company.

"Bad vision, bad hole choice and a loss of yards, you can blame that loss all on the running back."
Who could forget the classic, "Last week this quarterback played terrible, and that's why his team lost" when referring to the 5TD 0int win he had last week!
And remember, "when he's covered, he's open."

This game looks last gen because it probably is and will be until the PS3 is phased out and then they'll start from scratch just like PS2 to PS3

I'm very torn. I see strides being made in the right direction once again, but I saw similar strides made in Madden 10. 10 was far from perfect but we finally started to see some progress being made and Ian was let go and a new team took over. I fear that something like that could happen again. We'll finally be somewhat close to a fully realistic depiction of football only for it to be ripped away.
Madden will be a release day purchase for me this year.

What bothers me the absolute most, is that I play FIFA 14 on the PC and it is a wonderful game.
There it is folks. 22 players, who look like they are supposed to, all moving seperately and individually. Tatoos. Great ball and collision Physics. Realistic crowd chants and reactions to the game on the field/pitch. Penalties. Emotions. Spot on comentary. Real ads for real products and companies.
Refs that get hit by the ball.
Why oh why cant this be American Footbal?

Again, this is an early build, but I'm certain they're in the "cleaning-up" stages of the game by now and this is about what we're going to get.
Pros:
*Player models - look much improved from last year (textures & size) - hopefully ALL the NFLPA will be on-board w/ the tattoos to add to the realism...I mean, why wouldn't they want their likeness in a video game...most of the guys nowadays were raised in the gaming worlds.
*Crowd Sound - the crowd seems to react louder in certain situations - hard to tell
*Camera - like the new default camera angle that brings you close to the action...it definitely helps to amplify the graphical improvements.
Cons:
Lighting - just doesn't look up to par with other sports video games (NBA 2K & MLB The Show)
Tackling - still seeing the same animations as last year (which most are good) but players just seem to "fall-like-puppets" at times.
PA Music: Is it just me or (with the exception of the techno song) is the soundtrack playing over the PA the SAME 2 songs from MLB: The Show....wow :/
I always look forward to what EA has to offer and I hope they deliver...I am one of those guys who gets "tangled" in the hype....PROBABLY because it's the only NFL game we have to chose from.

My problems with the maddens series as of late as been 1) the commentary. it got to the point where i knew what line was coming next. its boring and repetitive 2) the physics. While to try run the ball. the rb runs into his own lineman and falls like a puppet on strings. 3) the celebrations in the endzone. im a avid NFL watcher and most of these players dont do those celebrations. steven jackson doing air guitar?
Graphically the game has gotten better but thats about it.

To me it's just sad that Madden went through all the trouble to monopolize the license and all we get year in and year out is the same game. Now this new team decided to go back and research some old features from past titles to cherry pick. So in their minds most of us have forgotten these features so we won't recognize them or call them out. With that mindset they advertise all these things as NEW innovations. This is how they view the consumers? Mindless sheep? Sad, really sad. But lets go down the list of a few examples.
BACKBREAKER:
So they decided to implement BackBreaker's Defensive cam and a modified version of their lock on player feature. Interesting choice. Sadly, I think BB actually did this better and keep in mind, its older.
Madden 05:
This is more of a trendy gimmick which Madden has done in the past. In 05 the Ravens were SB champs and what was Madden's theme? DEFENSE. So of course the Seahawks are th new trend. The year when Tom Brady and the Pats broke a ton of offensive records Madden went Offense crazy. Just to give you an idea of the trends they follow.
Madden 08:
The so called new button prompt to do defensive line moves? Oh yeah, Madden had that for all positions back in 08. Now it's just modified for line play but yeah, you get the picture.
NCAA 08:
Keeping with the same year, NCAA 08 had this feature where you could jump the snap. A message would show up on the screen if you got it right saying great jump. Sound familiar? That's right boys and girls, a NEW innovative jump the snap feature for Madden 15. It never ends, but lets continue.
NCAA 14:
All 22 camera. Need I say more? Nah, you get the picture.
There are a few other things such as true step and the power circle from 2k, the vision cone which was originally designed for the qb when offense was the trend. But yeah, this is what we're getting folks. Old features packed onto the same engine with the same stiff animations and sloppy tackle physics. All this packaged under a new coat of paint which to me honestly isn't that impressive. This is 2014, how about adding some slight cloth physics to the jerseys instead of standard normal mapped wrinkles. Not impressed. just food for thought.
The definition of Innovation:
1. something new or different introduced.
2. the act of innovating; introduction of new things or methods.
Doesn't quite fit does it?

I mean watching the videos it reminds me of maddens of old with the animations but the graphics on next gen look much better then the first madden on next gen. I buy every madden been playing since I was a kid now I'm grown. The thing that bothers most is the WR/DB animation for bump and run has been the same since ps2 that's why the same plays will always work until it's fixed. The read option is still gonna impose it's will on most defenses based on the video. I'm a online guy I never was into playing the cpu if it's no competition it's not fun to me. I'm a madden fan there improving but it doesn't hold me like it use to. I'm gonna buy it because I'm addicted to sports. I give madden credit cuz they trying like 2k was great but...... They took core modes away for online and that killed it for me plus the servers.

The pre/post play cameras are nice and I like the crowd noise but that's it. When the ball is snapped it becomes a stale game of madden. The movement/animation, commentary looks the same. I don't see much difference.
That Russell Wilson roll to the right and throw across his body to the middle of the field, still being more or less on target, while the wr continues downfield and allows the db to undercut it and have it hit him square in the chest but drop it anyways is the epitome of madden.
It's a tired stale game with so many bandaids it's hard to find any fundamentally sound football.
