Madden NFL 15: CoachGlass Coming to PS4 Alongside Xbox One

06:04 PM - August 18, 2014 by Steve_OS

It appears Xbox One users won't have CoachGlass exclusively anymore, EA Sports announced today that PlayStation 4 users will get the feature this year as well.

For those who may not be familiar with the feature, CoachGlass is a second-screen experience that is compatible with most smartphones and tablets. As EA says, "The experience is catered for the player who really wants that added layer of information about an opponent."

Here are some of the highlights, check out the video here.

Whole New Look - The goal with the new system was to feed data that enhances the Madden game experience without distracting from the on-field action. To do this, we created a system that incorporates colorized charts to make information easily digestible.
All About Tendencies-Another goal was to bring some balance to a CoachGlass System that was primarily a defensive tool in year one. We learned that most CoachGlass users already have a basic idea of football strategy, and want that next layer of information that keeps them one step ahead of their opponent.
Taking the Next Step- In the first implementation of CoachGlass, users had the ability to call plays from the device but were limited to only having defensive playcall suggestions. We�ve now evened the playing field and made offensive suggestions available as well. Another small win was including the QB in the list of offensive players currently on the field.

Be sure to let us know if you are excited about CoachGlass, and also be sure to check out the full article on EA Sports' website.

Novice player isn't going to consult their phone for tips on the next play.

Are you this novice player? Or just constructing hypotheticals to further your point?

The fact that it'll be on the PS4 is really nice. I played with it on the XB1 at times and thought it wasn't too bad..

Wait until PS5 and XBOX 720... Now you can use twich and soon youtube shared the game watch back later..

they are showing it on a mock up on Ipad, so you should be good to go.

No need for doubts, it is only announced for iOS and android devices. Vita is a solid no.

I'm pretty excited about having this feature added to the ps4!! Like others have said, it's non essential, however, a nice added touch to even the playing field.

IMO that is way to much information to have on the screen at one time along with a full playcall screen. The second device is able to display a lot more information faster.

It's much better then last year and a step in the right direction but it still fails to provide POST GAME report that you could use in conjunction with your recorded video or using the on screen after post game video replays.

First paragraph: that is football my friend. Creating tendencies to break them. Out thinking your opponent. It's always a fluid situation. You start blitzing my first down runs so i audible to PA.

second paragraph: having post game data report would be great. Until that's added you can take screen shots of your device when the game ends will that information displayed.

I couldn't find it either.

I wish the CoachGlass could be used as a draft board. That would be pretty tight.

# 40 ODogg @ 08/21/14 11:27 AM

Is this not available to download yet? I've searched on both iOS and Android to no avail..
