Madden 15 thread

[White Out 403]

It's Madden season in just 3 days. Lots of improvements made and reviews seem quite positive, especially when playing defense.

So who's getting it and what system? Cp connected leagues for each system?

Not a big madden fan but I downloaded the trial (EA Access). Its a huge improvement over 25 graphically. More next gen this time around it seems.

I didn't play Madden 25 as much as I thought I would so I am not going to pick this up initially, but I plan on getting it once I've played FIFA for a few months

Game is awesome, after playing about 5 games.

Lots of enhancements on d, but it is the subtle changes on offence that make this amazing.

[White Out 403]

I take it your playing on xbox one?

[bubbsy]

Yup

I got it Friday for PS4. Big time improvement from last year! I think I have already played it more than I did Madden 25. The tag line that defense is fun again is even kinda true. Playing D-line is fun, kinda gimmicky, but fun. The qb's are a little less accurate but still not enough, IMO. For passing your timing has to be spot on or it's pick city. You really have to know the routes your receivers are running.

Having a lot of fun thus far.

anywhere doing a midnight release?

[bubbsy]

first time i have ever played online vs in madden tonight. unreal experience, wow.

Madden ps4 is just leaps and bounds ahead of last year. A true next generation experience far

I'm thinking about buying it, but can anyone comment on how it is on the 360 or PS3? Same old, same old?

looks like the online stats are fixed, offline cfm is still being addressed. for those who werent following along on ea forums... basically the stats were way off for simmed games so qb's werent getting enough yards and tds, resulting in prominent starters becoming bums in year 2 and 3.

im going to hold off on making an online league for CP until the 1st patch is dropped... i dont see a point in rushing to get a league going only to restart.

haven't played madden in a while but i'm having some issues breaking tackles. i use marshawn lynch alot so i'm expecting to be able to break at least a tackle or two a game, but it's not really happening. i'm not getting stuffed, but i hit what appears to be a hole and then all of a sudden i get swallowed up by a LB who flies in from nowhere. should i be using the truck stick more? L2+truck stick? not sure what 'm doing wrong

[spennywalks]

only use speed burst once you've hit the hole that should help a bit

Downloaded the 6 hour trial of this on XB1 using EA Access and played right up until it wouldn't let me any more.

I have to say, I've bought Madden some years and ultimately been a little disappointed, but it feels really good this year (and looks even better). I'm very tempted to pull the trigger.

[bubbsy]

yup i was pretty close to doing a tipsy purchase late last night, but didn't.

i barely have enough time to play one game in a year, so waiting to see how NHL is before buying madden.

is that for real?? that's absolutely hilarious.

is it a bug where players are rendering out small or is that a special FUT card or something??

Curious how player progression is based in the recent Madden games including this one. I think the last one I played was Madden13 and that was strictly on improving 3 times over the season and every week of the playoffs depending on their stats.

[secol]

apparently he's actually playing on the Browns too so they messed that up as well....

with regards to progression you can choose when to progress players via XP. the big XP gains happen after milestones/goals are reached. not sure if they progress by themselves season to season though
