The Player Franchise with London Bridges looks like a blast. Might have to do something like that this year.

The first video I looked at was the Browns Jags vid, at the 1:01 mark Manziel is flushed out of the pocket, throws on the run and the ball sails over the head of the receiver who makes a desperate attempt to catch it but it's not even close, actually looks great, might be more common than you think.

This makes the wait even harder. Hope I can score an early copy. ..

After watching several of these video's on my tv, I'm pretty impressed. There is still plenty to work on but, they know that. This is the first truly next gen football game IMO. This is what I wish Madden 25 next gen would have been. Still need to play it myself but, I'm looking forward to it.

When they overhaul the animations, get rid of the legacy animations and add a TON more, greatly reduce repeat animations, remove the dependence on canned animations, add foot-planting, make the players move realistically with realistic momentum, add wr/db interactions, add individual animations and player tendencies, and add true gang tackling. Until these things are implemented in this game I can't give it the true next-gen title, it may seem like Im asking too much but Im only asking for things that are already in other sports games and have been for years.
With that been said, Madden 15 does look much improved.

Thanks for a recap of things that have been discused over and over. Those things fall under "There is still plenty to work on but, they know that". Just because there are plenty of things to work on doesn't mean it can't be considered next gen.

One thing I want to see...When the Giants scored the TD, I saw a teammate celebrate by running right past the RB...I understand these a real time animations but I feel they have to get some teammates in the these celebrations

Just watched a video with some of the relocation uniforms and they look just awful. I saw one uniform with the Oregon Duck wings on the shoulders which I found hilarious. They all look like college uniforms. A lot of the logos aren't that bad but the color schemes aren't that great and the uniforms are really, really bad.

Haven't watched the gameplay vids yet but I'll check them out later when I have more time.

I initially thought I wouldn't be posting anything ITT because I decided to follow the old adage of, "if you don't have anything good to say...". Until I saw this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63CQ...ure=youtu.be&a and to a lesser degree the one by Simfball. ("Lesser" because the other one didn't have any User commentary like Simf's, nothing against Simf's User commentary, I like it in his videos where he's demonstrating specific things but I find any User commentary distracting when trying to just watch game play)

Anyway, after seeing these videos being played in Zoom cam, it completely changed my impression of M15, from "still seems too much like Madden to me" to "ok, I might can jive with this from that game play perspective". That zoom game play view just seems to flow better overall with the game, providing a more immersed and challenging experience. It's possible it maybe different playing from that view versus spectating but I definitely want to give it a shot.

Hopefully I'm not the only one that gets the same impression from that game play view versus others because I'm looking for a league that will require the Zoom cam view on offense and that or the Defensive lock cam on defense. I think those User limited, more field level game play views will provide a much better experience playing the game, in spite of its' existing flaws versus the others, which seem to make it harder not to exploit the game's flaws.

If I can't find such a league or one doesn't exist, I will try to start one myself, for like minded gamers.

That does make a difference. I enjoyed that video. I think the first stream that impressed me so much used it too. I guess I know what camera I have to use now at least.

I kinda liked the uniforms ...ALOT. I don't mind the college look to them at all..but then again I prefer college uni's over the pros. It's funny you pointed out the Oregon Ducks Wings - that was my favorite.

*runs away in shame*

Game looks good but what happened to the qb stance?

I meant like the authentic qb stance of qbs under center and in the shotgun.

I feel like Madden gets a pass because its been so bad for so long that when they finally put out a decent effort people over react. Its not fair to other sports games who have put in the work, implemented the smalls things, and innovated over the years. Madden should be held to the same standards as other sports games.
Trust me, its held to that standard. This community is very hard on Madden, and rightfully so at most times. But its also ok to praise the game when its warranted.

I havent felt this good about madden vids like these in like forever, im hoping things have turned around and the shenanigans of online have been tempered. Oh and for anyone wbo has played CFM online, I hope online play now and online CFM are all on par with eachother. Online CFM felt real sluggish.

I'm so glad you're here to remind me that I'm overreacting. Even though I play most other sports games to compare Madden to. Even though I still play the PS2 gen madden games for comparison. Clearly I made a mistake to have a positive opinion of Madden. Clearly I was confused about my on opinion. I thought Madden looked next gen IMO but, clearly I was wrong. Thank you for correcting my opinion for me.

Your free to have an opinion but, I don't need you using that opinion to basically say that I'm wrong. I'm a big boy. I think I can handle it just fine with out you.

I stand by my opinion. Madden NFL 15 looks Next Gen IMO.

sit down finally and watched every video available, at least with gameplay. All I can say is WOW! This game looks simply amazing. The sound is really good and the gameplay is solid. Are there things that I wish were better? Absolutely, but this game, imo, is a solid foundation to build upon for the future.

As I expected. Madden 15 is gonna be nice! There's still work to do, as others have stated, but it's evident the team has put in work. I played Madden 25 for about a month or so, I have a feeling M15 is gonna get way more tread than that.

Loved when Bortles got hit throwing and it went up in the air and got picked off.
