The PS4 version? One of the best sports games I've ever played. I'm really excited for the FIFA franchise when it comes to next-gen. The physics engine is already unreal. I have some minor complaints about the ridiculous rubber-band AI, and the passing is still shockingly erratic, but overall it keeps me hooked.
Madden, as EE mentioned, is a complete disgrace. I'm disgusted with myself for purchasing the PS3 version and then getting the PS4 version for Christmas. There are some interesting new animations, but the players look like they were imported from early 00s Madden. They honestly look better on the PS3. I'm probably going to try and trade or sell Madden and just hold out until some more titles start hitting the shelves.
This may also be the last Madden I buy for a few years. It's nice they put owner mode back in, so that'll keep me busy but the gameplay just isn't making any major improvements and you can tell EA just doesn't give a crap because they know they have license and idiots will just keep giving them money. At least FIFA has to look over it's shoulder at PES (barely).

Well the game doesn't look great, if you are into realism, the next gen madden is significantly better.
O-line and D-line interaction is so much better than prior versions, and it is the first time in years I don't feel like throwing the controller due to cheap sacks, or absolutely terrible blocking.
Operation sports puts it better than I can:

For the first time in the Madden series, users can actually see a true pocket forming for their quarterback, and feel realistic pressure being applied from the edges. The battle down the line truly benefits from the extra calculations’ that the new systems provide, and it’s impressive to see stronger defensive linemen being double teamed, and quicker defensive ends beating the tackle around the edge. Each individual lineman, both offensive and defensive, now have their own individual thought process and act accordingly depending on the situation. We did notice some oddities during our time with Madden25 in regards to this facet of the game, but overall were very pleased with this first year effort.
If you played Madden 25 on the 360 or PS3, than you have a full understanding of the tragedy that was the secondary play. Often times corners or safeties would simply run away from the play, or not even recognize that it was even happening. While we are not ready to anoint Madden 25 on the PS4 as the king of secondary play, we are ready to admit that there have been some good improvements in this area. man coverage has been tightened up and zone coverage is better. This area still needs some improvement, but it does play better than the past gen version, and that is without any slider manipulation at all. One area that is worth pointing out is the deep ball, and the fun we had watching the defender and the wide receiver battle for ball. It’s nice to see the defender put a hand in during the reception and try and knock the ball away from the receiver.
