Switching from slow to normal has opened up the game so much, big plays, negative plays, explosive and dynamic CPU offenses, I love it
Feels like a whole new game to me. Sliders have stayed the same, a slightly modified version of charters (made CPU run block better and user run block lower) and I'm in love with the gameplay now on normal. I'm playing a game right now that is easily the best I have ever played against a CPU opponent in Madden
After this I will start an online CFM (with just me, for the stat fixes) as my companion league to my user CFM on this site

Also seems like true step was toned down and not in a good way. I can't trigger the left stick cuts like in Madden 25.

Also wish my DB's and safetys made plays on the ball like tha CPU's secondary.
Looks like I got my settings locked in, and am starting a 1 player online CFM so I can use the fixed sim stats.
Game certainly has issues, but it's the most fun I've had with Madden, possibly ever at least since Madden 05. This will certainly do for my football fix this year, unlike the last several years when I've been done with Madden after a week or so.

Nice to see they fixed the sim stat issue.
It would be cool as part of the presentation, EA does like CBS used to do, go around the league and as Brent Musberger used to say... "You are looking live.... at AT&T as the Cowboys prepare to do battle against their rival/nemesis, the Giants."

I usually play on slow too but this year I haven't touched a thing since getting the game. Normal speed 50 thresh, with 70 fatigue. 10-12 min quarters 15-17 sec runoff, on all-pro. I honestly have won some games and lost my share. And so far I have no desire to change anything because the games im getting are dynamic and all play out differently in a good way. I also have all the madden "assist" off of course to like ball hawk,heat seeker, and strafe.
I have seen one time when I was killing the cpu and went into settings in game and somehow my difficulty was changed from all-pro to rookie. I switched it back and the game instantly went back to being where I wanted it.
I haven't touched the penalty sliders either cause as we all know they aren't gonna work anyways. So I figured why bother?

I'm doing a line backer player CFM, and I'm liking it a lot. The only issue I'm having is that it seems like my CPU offense cannot hold on to the ball. I'm assuming it's made that way to give me more play time, but my time of possesions are way off. At half time on 8 minute quarters my T.O.P is almost consistently 15 mins to 5 give or take. Even when I'm causing 3 and outs my offense can only hold on to the ball for like a minute or two.

after spending 2 days with my gamefly copy, i can say i will be returning to madden 25 not because its better but after the heavy edits and time spent getting it to play how i want my football, madden 15 doesn't play better.
i have seen the complaints and read alot if notable impressions and i agree with most of them, but i dont believe a patch can fix these issues. so no need to keep playing 15.
AI QB sacks- the coverage is too damn good for the user, while the pass rush is much improved, we asked for this and we got it, cpu gets crushed.
Zone coverage- too perfect especially deep, again cpu cant find anyone open takes short passes, we asked for this and got it....
so while games vs the AI gets old fast, these improvements are wonderful online where for the first time in 10 years i played more than 5 online games, but online sports gaming isn't my thing especially since i cant find a unranked lobby.
i think some edited rosters would make this game very special, madden fans need to accept that the game needs to be re-edited to reach its full potential.

Im enjoying the game , but im starting to see some things that are a concern.
I will still continue to play the game , but hopefully the next patch will improve some areas of gameplay.

Agree about the minor issues. Hope the first patch solves several problems. Overall I'm very much a fan

Well I was playing a slider set on All Pro but the AI was still be incompetent so I bumped it to All Madden and I've had better competitive games. HOWEVER the AI still takes too many sacks on All Madden. I average like 5-7 a game for my defense...and I'm the Vikings. But the AI is greatly improved on All Madden and I can actually play All Madden. Kicking took a little bit to adjust to though.

After a few days with the game & finally getting the perfect slider set (All Madden + slow speed has the best balance) the game has a lot of potential but man is it rough around the edges. There are 3 things that are hampering my experience & if EA can patch them this game would go from good to great in my opinion.
1. PLAYER CLIPPING/MORPHING is rampant in this game! It's mostly after the play but it's such an immersion killer for me. Too many times after the play I'm seeing players walk right through players laying on the field. Limbs & body parts just fuse or ghost through each other. I think EA purposely designed the game this way due to them taking criticism after Madden 13 where players were tripping & falling all over the place. So instead of properly addressing the problem, they just let players ghost right through players which is a horrible way to go about it. I'd rather see players occasionally trip over another player instead of just morphing right through him. EA PLEASE FIX THIS!
2. PHYSICS ARE STILL TOO SLOPPY. I'm still seeing ragdoll physics especially when there's a multiple man tackle. The one on one tackling is great & I'm seeing some great individual tackle animations, but when there's an attempt for a gang/multiple hit tackle I'm seeing defenders just fall down like ragdolls. Also RB's are still running up their blockers backs without pushing off when they should (although it's a lot better than it was before with the push offs) resulting in some sloppy animations. I thought the Infinity Engine would be much more advanced by now being that this is year 3. Gotta clean this up.
3. SUCTION TACKLING IS BACK SMH. Too many times when trying to run especially between the tackles I'm getting sucked into tackles or my user controlled runner gets sucked into a canned animation. This should be a thing of the past! Madden 12 had it right when it came to eliminating this but now suction has reared its ugly head again. Get rid of suction once and for all!
EA please address these issues in a patch because these problems are overshadowing what would otherwise be an impressive effort.

Man I had to create a cheat sheet for all the new damn pre snap adjustments for defense. They moved a lot of stuff around. I am surprised they didn't talk about none of this stuff in the Prima Guide. You would have thought they would have and went in depth about it in the guide, but nope, the guide is mostly MUT stuff.
Hell I would have settled for a PDF game manual for I could just print stuff out. But EA didn't do a PDF this year.
Anyway I noticed I get more fumbles using aggressive tackle button then I do using the hit stick. And I noticed on deep passes I have more success aiming to the left or right of the WR. When I try to lead the WR up the field the DB end up swatting it or intercepting it most of the time.

I can not run the ball to save my life!!!!! Wtf. I've played about 3 franchise games and I'm averaging about 40 rushing yards. It's not like I'm a new madden player hit but every time I hit the line of scrimmage its me either getting stuck behind a lineman or a linebacker right on me.
And don't ask me about passing. My goodness I'm only playing on All Pro with standard sliders. Two games I had about 120 passing yards and one game I actually hit 300 but I had like 30 attempts.
With all this said I'm still enjoying the game tremendously I just want better stats
