Madden NFL 15 is now available in stores. Be sure to read our review if you haven't gotten the game. If you have, leave your own impressions of your first play sessions in the comments below!
WTF is up with this glitch where the WR runs pass the CB but get's sucked backwards then starts running again. I keep seeing it in my games. I kept throwing INTs because of it too
I'm seeing a lot of player clipping/body morphing post play. I'm seeing players ghosting right through players after the play. The physics are improved but still a little sloppy. Hopefully this gets cleaned up because it kind of takes away from an otherwise big improvement gameplay wise.
madden has taken a great step towards becoming a sim game.
just a few questions for the community, does it piss anyone else off that the opponent can see your previous play. this is particularly frustrating for me me because i don't use a lot of lays on defense compared to offense where i only try to use a play once a game
I think the tackling is better this year. I see some big hits but not like years past where every hit was a wwe tackle. I think the reason most aren't seeing any big hits is because you're using the conservative tackle A button when it shows up on the screen. Once in awhile I hit X and the players try to lay the big hit. Some with success and some whiffs.
just played another game this time on 12 minute quarters 0 acc clock
it was Vikings(cpu) vs browns(me)
neither team could do much it was 7-6 after the first I missed the xtra point... then in sec both teams traded fg's back and forth was 13-12 at half.
we got ball in second half we score a td in 3rd go up 20-13 we went for 2... second half was a bad for the Viking they lost AP to a broken jaw... then few plays later cassel went down grabbing his back... so enter bridgewater... he lasted until the mid of 4th quarter and he went out injuried so ponder had to come in and finish the game.
the 4th quarter we took over with all injuries the Vikings just couldn't get a passing or running game going they got a fg but we scored 24 in 4th to win 44-16.
Manziel threw the ball 47 times... completed 28 threw 3 td's 2 ints... but also had 7 rushes for 60 yards 1 td. the play that broke game wide open was a nice roll out pa pass that manziel found Gordon behind the Vikings defenders that he took to house.
so far I like how this game plays it seems like every game has been nail biters I can't see how ppl are saying this game is junk its an amazing game.

The last paragraph hits it on the head for me. All of my games have been hard fought close games. I won one game by 3 scores but I broke away late. Every other game I feel like I gave to play perfect or hold on to get the win.
It could be me still getting used to it. I'm guessing in a few weeks I'll have to adjust sliders to make it more challenging. But for now I actually feel good starting my CFM 3-0. I'm already thinking how will I beat the broncos if I've barely beat the dolphins, vikings and raiders.
Pass block strength, pass block footwork, run block strength, run block footwork were removed.
Consistency and confidence were also removed in the player traits.
we'll EA said the footwork etc were useless and never worked that's why they got removed far as other 2 they put those in the players ratings at the bottom.
After reading impressions all day, I decided to bite the bullet and trade in NBA 2K14 and Watch Dogs to get Madden 15. I won't miss NBA 2K14 too much since NBA 2K15 is right around the corner, and I still have the PS3 and PC versions. I'll probably regret trading in Watch Dogs down the road unless GTA 5 gets released this fall. Fortunately, however, I only had to pay $2 out of pocket for Madden 15, which was essentially just me paying the sales tax.
I did a few drills before I grew tired of that and wanted to dive into the meat and potatoes of the game. After putting the game speed on Very Slow, setting the Speed Threshold to 0, setting the quarter length to 10 mins, and dropping the QB accuracy sliders to 25, I was on my way to my first matchup featuring the Redskins (CPU) against my beloved Cowboys (ME) on the All-Pro difficulty.
My initial thoughts are that I won't regret this purchase in the longterm. This game is shaping up to be a great improvement over Madden 25. I agree with everyone else regarding the CPU QB play. While RGIII only had a conservative 154 yards passing against me with 2 TDs, he completed 90.4 percent of his passes; Tony Romo, on the other hand, completed 72.7 percent of his passes with 247 yards and 2 INTs. Unfortunately, I did not get any passing touchdowns during the game.
I love the fact that the CPU running game is lethal without being overwhelming or unstoppable. Without Sean Lee and a rash of other players, my Cowboys just didn't have the personnel to stop Alfred Morris. I ended losing the game 16-10 in overtime. I had a chance to win the game with a field goal with the final two seconds ticking down, but the field goal fell short by a yard or two. The Redskins won the coin toss in overtime and ending up scoring a touchdown after I forced them to a 3rd down on a valiant goal line stance (up to that point).
All in all, I enjoyed the game despite the loss. Here are the final stats from my first game:
10 Mins Quarters, All-Pro Difficulty, Very Slow Game Speed, Speed Threshold at 0
Redskins (CPU) stats will appear first.
Final Score - 16 - 10

No 4th Down or 2 PT Conversions
Red Zone % - 3/3 - 1/2
Red Zone TD - 2 - 1
Red Zone FG 1 - 1
Penalties - 1/2 - 1/5
Possession Time - 23:28 - 21:11

Alfred Morris - 20/91, 0 TDs
Demarco Murray - 18/69, 1 TD
Robert Griffin - 6/41
Dez Bryant - 11/99
Desean Jackson - 4/36 (1 Fumble)
Andre Roberts and Darrell Young each had a TD reception for the Redskins
Henry Melton - 2 Sacks
I hope to see CPU QB play get addressed in a patch. It wasn't so much the accuracy that was bothering me; it was the fact that the CPU QB didn't have to go through a progression. Like in previous versions, the CPU's success in the passing game was due to Robo QB and consistently dumping the ball underneath instead of looking for receivers down field.
The choppiness that I experienced earlier must've been a glitch in the matrix because things are very smooth now. This is the game that I was expecting to get last year. I'm very impressed right now.
Last time I played madden a few years ago, in my player mode, the sim feature was broken. If you are an offensive player, you are essentially on the field the whole game, time of possession is massively lopsided, CPU drives would only take a few seconds off the clock.
I just played a my player game and it appears as though this is still the case. Anyone else see this. I am shocked years later this is still like this. Ridiculous
Can someone please tell me if Madden 15 PS4 has offline franchise mode. If it does, does it have Cpu vs Cpu.
Franchise haven't had that since Madden 12
I like building a team through free agency and trades but I prefer to watch my team not play.
If someone could let me know ASAP, it's the difference between me buying the new game or updated rosters on Madden 12.
Thanks

Yes there is an offline franchise. But no, you can not play cpu vs cpu. It is honestly heartbreaking. I miss that feature so much. You can now select owner in the career too which I thought clearly had to mean you can watch the games, but you still can not.

Yes you can. There's a workaround ..2 controllers needed. Thread dedicated to it.
My first post on Operation Sports in forever is about a game series that I had given up on oh so many moons ago.I'm enjoying it so far,even enjoyed losing tonight online.It's my first football experience on line since 2k5 and I have a lot to learn,I guess it helped that I played someone with some football sense.
I would like to get in a league,but I only average 1-2 games a week,but would love to play and lose to some of you guys.gamertag-mrupnya oh,ps4
Play call screen: it's awful, plain awful. I don't see a redeeming quality about it. Please give option for old system or at least start you off in formation list each play.
CPU QBs taking sacks. It's pretty bad. Part of the reason CPU QB percentages are so high is they never throw the ball away
Penalties: I bumped up the penalty sliders and other than a couple facemask I got nothing else called
