Madden NFL 15 Review (360/PS3)

10:54 AM - September 2, 2014 by RaychelSnr

A popular internet axiom states that “what has been seen cannot be unseen.” And so it is with Madden. If you’ve been following the media for Madden 15, you may have set some pretty high expectations. If you’ve played Madden 15 on either the PS4 or Xbox One, you may find that many of those expectations are (finally) met this year, as you can read in our official review.

So to step back and objectively look at Madden 15 on “last-gen” consoles can be tough. For whatever reasons, this version of the game lacks many of the new, innovative and fun additions touted all summer. Things that I consider literally game-changing -- like the ability to switch between cameras on the fly -- are nowhere to be found on older consoles.

If you only own a 360 or PS3, this may come as a disappointment. However, instead of bemoaning these features’ absences, let's look at what the game actually does on its own. Then you can decide if it warrants a purchase, or if you are safe simply upgrading Madden 25’s roster.

Good review and write-up.

There are some similarities to the NG systems, but some stuff left out too. The Robo CPU and lack of penalties are in NG as well.

Spot on review, I have it on the 360, and honestly, the cone does give it a better feel on defense. The running game IMO has improved, Madden 25 seemed like every RB was due to hit the 2000 yd mark in a season. Now you have to have a little patience running the ball. I like the overall movement of the players in 15. Commentary has always stunk with Madden, but All in all this is the best Madden on the "Last Gen" Consoles.

I got both (ps3 & 4) and I got to say, last gen works for me. I took the week off last week, and because my time was limited (not to mention the ps4 glithing) I played on the ps3 more. My record (4 combined profiles) is 11-4 on the 3, 3-2 on the ps4 using 1 profile.

Insane QB% percentages are a big issue in the NG version as well. Although one of the features they touted was realistic qb accuracy

That's not the only thing that is similar, lack of penalties, high # of sacks from CPU. For people who have this game, all they need to do is peak over on the other side. lol

Still, a good game with a good set of sliders.

So you're really saying that you prefer the PS3 version over the PS4 version, eh? Wow, to each his own. Ironically I almost the PS3 version from Redbox to see the differences between that one and the PS4 version then thought NAH. Lol.
