Is the lack of big hits in this game because of the NFL rules?

No, I just think they are trying to tone down the arcade blitz style hits it had. I would rather have no big hits than power slams and shoulder blocks all the time.

I've seen tons of big hits in 15... so far had a play where the cmp rb tried to do the hurdle moved he got lite up by my lb mingo and ball flew out and I've seen big hits on the qbs as we'll as wr's and te's.

I have zero issues with the tackles/hits. I've seen a variety of realistic tackling animations. Best it's been in a long time, IMO

How long does it take to load? It says please wait forever!

This game plays great. Enjoy playing defense finally. The hits, well there are some weak ones but then there are also so decleaters. Hey really stepped it up and hope they continue on this path they are heading.

Played a good game Jets (me) 26 vs Dolphins (CPU) 17...Geno was Geno... Got hurt and Vick came in and it felt that he had more control of the offense. I'm loving this game. The only thing I would need is a good set of sliders... Rushing is very tough and that needs to be adjusted. Played on All Pro, 10 min, Speed slow and 0 threshold.

Good to see they finally added Wembley Stadium as a selectable stadium in Play Now.

I got it on PS4, I think it's excellent, the defense is maybe too good though.

I've only played 2 games but I think I'm in love. Sure there still some quirky animations and whatnot but this game is finally fun again. Only little buggy thing I saw was I was in offense with the packers and after a play the camera showed the coach and Aaron Rodgers was on the sideline behind the coach lol

Other then that I have seen some great things and am finally having fun against the cpu

Defense is great, music is really good. I stayed up until 3 last night just playing the skills trainer. I applaud the madden team for the work they have done with the skills trainer. It actually made me a better madden player. I knew the football strategy stuff but the tackling and controlling linebackers, as well as user catching tutorials made me way better. This game so far is really good from a gameplay standpoint.

Pathetic. I took a year off Madden so this is my first time on NG. Must say, I'm not impressed in the least. Plays like a herky-jerky PS3 title. It's NOTHING like the huge leap the FIFA or NBA 2K series took when moving to NG.

More than 25 years later and still no punt or FG blocks. In two full games and a portion of another, I have yet to see a single penalty of any sort called.

I do like the community play calling feature, but other than that I feel like I'm playing a high-res version of Madden 2000.

Who hurt you? 2k14 was an epic fail of a game with some nice graphics and FIFA looked no different then a ps3 version

This game is gorgeous on the X1. Wow!

Give me good sidelines, visually next year and I'll be damn.
 
# 156 DGuinta1 @ 08/26/14 09:01 PM
Sure is pretty. Xbox1, I am in awe

I've only played the opening mini-game and some of the skills trainers, but I'm really blown away so far.

Random impressions:

It's hard to overstate how beautiful this game looks on the PS4. Player models and uniforms are incredible.

Players seem to have way more weight and physics-based momentum this year.

The pocket resembles that other unmentionable title far more than any Madden game I know.

Passing really seems much closer to a timing-based model this year.

The skills trainer is FUN!!!

The concepts tutorials are REAL FOOTBALL!!!

I can't wait to get through all the tutorials and into some games . . .

ive only played 5 games in ultimate as of now.

gameplay feels a lot better

still too many ints

don't know its my samsung bravia but the graphics arent as good as i thought

sammy watkins might be the greatest madden player in history

gotta get used to the whole camera adjusting thing

that new kick meter thing is cool one you know how to use it

I noticed in the ratings:

Pass block strength, pass block footwork, run block strength, run block footwork were removed.

Consistency and confidence were also removed in the player traits.

The graphics at first just kind of looked pretty good to me.

The more I have played, especially at different times of day, they have started to shine.

I wouldn't call the graphics amazing, but they look very good. Borderline great
