Guys, I'm curious about custom soundtracks. By now, several publications have posted articles confirming that the PS4 is coming out with a major software update before Christmas which is going to include a USB Music Player. However it has also been confirmed that the audio files cannot be copied to the PS4; they must be played directly from a USB device. This will allow us to play songs in the background during gameplay, BUT will it enable true custom soundtracks in the sense that we were once used to? ie: the ability to change your home field victory song or your batters walk-up music in MLB. Im thinking these things will not be possible due to the inability to copy audio files to the PS4.
Traded it in last night, im tired of the stretch tackles from players well out of tackling range. I was in an online league and ran jnto a couple players who played shoddy and ruined my whole experience. One guy lagged my connection while I had the ball when I needed a fg to win. Another just straight up glitched making my safeties go to man coverage from cover 4 over. I checked by not touching the controller whenever he would do his fade route gimmick when he needed to score, no matter what I did I got burned with no help over the top at all everytime.
Just overall sick of the game and I'll wait a month next yr to know for sure if this next madden is worth spending money on. The evil within is leagues better.

Best Madden ever, IMO. People seem to forget that this is video game not real life.
Enjoy it.

I hate forum admins that cannot just make a simple statement when closing a thread, but instead decide to use their position to make a rambling criticism of the OP and then closed the thread - thus preventing a chance to defend or retort the unnecessary ramblings of a forum admin; who has no real power outside the minute world of the little forum they patrol.
My impressions of M15 is, the sliders have yet to be explained in any wat shape or form, thus wasting a lot of people's time who wish to have a game that represents football...Clearly, regardless of what mouth pieces like the lying Rex Dickson says, the game is still about H2H default/Tourney cheese balling...
And I was banned from the EASports forum merely for asking for a detail explanation of sliders and their effects on the game..I went in once a week or so and bumped it with the same question...NO reply....Because they have my money...
I know, "Don't by the game if you don't like it," that is the stupidest bunch of crap reply I have heard, ever. Madden is the only game...I'd steal it if I could, cause EA has been stealing from its customers for years - false advertising; which has been shown here in these very forums..

Looks like they fixed sim stats somewhat here was Tony Romo's season stats...
4,904 yds/34tds/10ints
A rookie broke the season rushing record, I forgot what it was but he broke it by 200+ yds i think and Megatron almost broke his season receiving record

This game came out two months ago and I've played it once within the last two weeks. So yeah it's the best Madden ever, but IMO being done with the game inside of two months from the release date makes it one of the worst Maddens ever. I can't think of a sports video game that I've owned in the last 8 years that I was done with within 2 months of the release.

Wasssup my glip glops...long time no see!
Madden NFL 15...still making moments happen.
System xbox one
The same problems that existed in 12 exist in this game and what that tells me is that it's the same AI under a new graphical engine.
1-Someone other than me has had to see a QB playing DE in the preseason. Not just playing DE, but completely obliterating the Offensive Tackle...this means that the game is still auto adjusting ratings on the fly which in turn means your sliders mean squat.
2-Computer dropped INT's Vs user dropped INT's...it's completely off balance. I've had games where the computer picked off every ball that wasn't completed to a wide out and have had games where my defense simply couldn't intercept one pass out of six sure picks.
3-The game is still making plays happen...for instance, I'm in shotgun-3 wide-2 RBs. I got instant pressure but called an audible for the backs to block. Upon looking at the replay, the game made my right guard slide 8 yards down field which in and of itself should have been a illegal man down field, but because the game wanted the sack, I got hit while throwing....neither back blocked a soul.
4-Audibles for the running backs to block is useless. The running backs either block no one, or slide up into the line and assist on a block letting their man come clean.
5-It still only takes an audible to make the computer look stupid especially at the goal line. Don't believe me, call any shotgun pass at the goal line and audible to and inside dive and see if you don't walk in.
6-While the presentation is vastly improve, the commentary at times is so repetitive that I've turned it completely off.
7-Players slide and there is a delay in many user actions...what the hell is that forward flip in the game for when I want to dive tackle..smh
8-The computer couldn't down a punt inside the 10 if it's binary code's existence depended on it.
I haven't posted here in ages because it's become taboo to say anything negative about this game but I just needed to get my two cents in after a few years hiatus. It's an enjoyable game, but not better than any other madden gameplay wise. Just my opinion.

I'm amazed that Madden used to spend so much time on their old game planning feature when you never need to gameplan in this game.
Defensive tackles do next to nothing against the run, never shooting gaps, never making a tackle for loss. So why worry about changing your offense when it doesn't matter if you are facing Suh or some bum? CPU QB logic is all the same. It would be nice if the good QBs like Manning got rid of the ball quick. It would be nice if the cpu QB made an effort to get the ball to Calvin Johnson more and force us to change the way we cover people. It would be nice if the scat backs showed more moves and were used differently than a power back. Where is the motion and up tempo offense from Philly when I play against them? Is it that hard to make great QBs play great and bad QBs play bad?
The game needs more personality and I'd love to see the great players stand out more, forcing you to think about them when playing and changing what you do. Other than playing against an elite CB I never change the way I play against any cpu team offline.

Well, Suh isn't known as a stout run defender, but honestly Ive never seen this be a problem this year..and Im scratching my head as to why people seem to think that it is. Granted I play mostly head to head online and in leagues. Is it playing out that much drastically different vs the CPU?

I don't even need a good RB. Ben Tate was 2nd in the NFL in rushing for me on my first year with the Browns. If the sliders worked better maybe I could fix it but like I said - All Madden and 0 user run blocking and you can run up the A gap with good success against anyone. It's been like that for 3 years now so people must love picking up automatic third and shorts in Madden. It's definitely not sim imo.
It annoys me when I watch a game like Dallas-WAS and see Melton shoot a gap and make a play in the backfield. You don't see it a lot but you do see it. Suh does get penetration in the backfield. It's non-existent in Madden. I challenge the entire Madden community to get me a video of a cpu DT in Madden shooting a gap and making a tackle for loss. I'd love to see it.

What was the verdict on the tuner that came out awhile back? Did it improve anything? I've been playing without it but may download it.

Bottom line for me and we are in November now is:
Despite some warts and we all know what they are (sacks, stability bug for offline 32 team franchise, profile corruption bug, and lack of flags as always) this is hands down the very best version of Madden I have ever played. The AI was vastly improved (not yet where it can be and I expect it to only get better) OL/DL mini game is amazing, the defensive cam (and change cam on the fly feature) has been brilliant and has made playing defensive amazing this year. I play exclusively from the defensive cam and it makes the game feel alive for me on defense. It also adds a great layer of challenge if you truly play no switch on defense.
I can't stop playing my online solo CFM and will be playing the game till next years release at a minimum. It is getting regular play from me along with NBA 2K15 and The Show 14.
Great great year for next gen sports games IMO. Loving it.

Qb are to alike. Sometimes the backup Qb even outplays the starting Qb. I can't tell the difference between elite and ordinary Qb's.
Progression in cfm is overpowered, it is too easy to progress abillities to 90+
The injury system needs an overhaul, we need to see banged up players on the ol line. Look at the nfl, succes starts and ends with the lines ol and dl. Injuries play a very important part here, nagging injuries that limit players abillity to play is a must.
And last But not least: lets get those WR in the game, just fight for one ball please
