Their game was a typically tourney style game. Tons of hot routes and using the same plays over and over that worked. I wonder if the longer hot routing animations messed up their usual routine of making 5+ changes to every single play.

NYG scored on WR screens & QB sneaks.

I have no faith that playing "madden ball" will be stopped this year. They'll find exploits and continue to take advantage of the CPU AI.

A brand new player motion engine built from the ground up and signature running styles (at least for RB's/WR's) would do wonders if matched up with the impressive graphics for Madden 16. We can all dream right???

That fl screen in the giants redskins game looks like it's still a dominate weapon in madden 15.

Wasn't that one of the main focuses of why the engine was built??????? Why Madden hasn't started using FIFA's locomotion system by now is astonishing.

Keep preaching the truth brother! Seriously, just steal the locomotion system from Fifa ASAP and build that bad boy in for Madden 16. If nothing else was improved, that alone would completely transform the game.

If they did remove the signature throwing animations, they forgot to remove Romo's. In these videos he has the same quick release throw animation he's had since Madden NFL 10.

So based on that observation I'm going to assume that EA indeed has not removed them.

I was mostly talking about the fact that the one guy got frustrated because he couldn't have Montana's accuracy with RG3.

They need to fix that stupid QB sneak play that's been money for one yard forever now.

They need to fix short yard situations period. Like watching a short yard pile up on my tv is nothing like I see on madden. It would be so cool if it was really hard to get 1 yard in madden that would really make defense that much more fun.

Are they counting this as their first or second year with IGNITE? I thought true player motion was going produce newer QB, & running animations. That would have been the icing on the cake for '15.

Exactly. I understand the guys who want fans in the right cloths and stuff but, I'm a gameplay first guy. Maybe we shouldn't have to choose in this gen but, if I have a choice I want short yard gameplay fixed before fans cloths.

But as nice as it is having these videos, they are just snippets and I can understand the desire to show off offense more than defense.

Just wait till our community (OS) get's a hold of this puppy and set's it to slow, tweaks all the sliders and finds the sim sweet spot. I can see the potential waiting to explode from these vids.

This game will be a regal next gen version of Madden football. I love what I am seeing as a foundation for the community to work some slider magic. OS'ers unite. We have some important video game slider magic to work on this Fall. And the fact that slider values are now independent of skill level (Pro, All-Pro, All Madden) has been long over due. It will make the process far more streamlined.

Madden 15 is going to rock.

I definitely see your point about the inaccurate passes and I'm 100% on board with that! I also enjoyed seeing him miss a 50-yd FG.

If QB sneaks are that money (along with FB dives) I already have a plan to push for a rule against them in my league!

Qb sneaks always work because there is no pile ups or great one yard defense. They also have that dive over the top that would work 100 out of 100 times on the 1 yard line. So I see you banning it in your league.

That's not his sig throwing animation. All sig stances and throwing motions that were added in Madden 10 are now gone. Maybe it's a bug or a glitch, but in the footage, everything is gone and is generic now.

They may have not been removed, but they ain't in the footage, lol. Maybe it's a glitch or a bug. Stances are throwing motions are gone. It's all those generic animations they added in 13.

If I make a push it'll be on 3rd/4th down and 2 yards or less since it's pretty much automatic. I can't stand guys who take chances and then go to the money play for the easy score.

Hopefully this is something that will be addressed in the future. Also I don't know 100% if it is actually a money play yet again but it sure does appear to be that way. One QB sneak was stuffed with Eli I think.

It's funny that guy ran 3 QB sneaks in like 20 plays of offense...

It's quite possible that they are telling tall tales.. It's not like they haven't done it before. Look at the presentation of madden 25 at E3 2013 last year, and take a look at end product. They straight up lied to the consumer.

I'm sorry to sound so negative, but I only react to the patterns I've seen from this developer, and publisher. They'll either take 2 steps forward, and 1 step back. Or 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Pick your year for it. Either thier programming chops aren't up to par, or that ignite engine is a bunch of fluff, and/or doesn't apply to the madden series. If FIFA 15 is IGNITE, it looks like it's running on different code. Is it just me?

I see what you're saying with the pre-snap stance, you're right that that's not triggering.

I've played with the Cowboys almost exclusively for the past five years though. To me, when he has time in the pocket, Romo throwing still looks like Romo throwing. The drop back and in-the-pocket stance looks the same to me too.

# 260 richie777 @ 08/15/14 10:47 AM

Has anyone said anything about the Eagles huddling every single play on the Skins vid? Chip would rather die than play that slow. I guess realism doesn't really matter. Smh
