EA SPORTS has put out a new blog on Madden NFL 15 discussing 'Player Sense 2.0' (http://www.easports.com/madden-nfl/news-updates-gameplay/article/new-feature-player-sense):

Player Sense unlocked the human element in Madden NFL 25 with more than 50x the contextual calculations of its predecessors.

In Madden NFL 15, Player Sense 2.0 creates the smartest playing Madden ever by improving player emotion, contextual awareness, head tracking, reach tackles and more.

ZONE/MAN COVERAGE IMPROVEMENTS
Zone Coverage ratings now have a bigger impact on how quickly defenders break on throws. Defenders with higher ratings in Zone Coverage will react much quicker to throws.

Defenses are now smarter when it comes to going for a swat vs. an interception or a tackle. This improved logic will be broken down by player traits.

Improvements have also been made to zone defenders responsible for the flats. Some things to look out for include smarter principles (no more out route abuse!), improved head tracking on all players, increases in press and chuck interactions between DBs and wide receivers, as well as better pursuit and tackling ability.

Man Coverage ratings have also been tweaked to impact how much separation receivers are able to get on cuts in their routes, resulting in improved behavior of the defender.

New to Madden NFL 15 is the addition of disguised defenses, where opposing secondaries will show you one coverage but give another.

REAL AI 2.0
The Madden development team continues to improve the decision-making of computer-controlled players. Thanks to Real AI 2.0, computer quarterbacks understand different passing concepts, and will read defenders before making correct throws. They'll also audible and call hot routes based on Real AI, and also have improved logic for handling pressure in the pocket.

The computer now makes the same types of decisions that a skilled user would make. One improvement is CPU Fake Snap, which attempts to draw players offside more than in previous versions of Madden NFL.

When Madden NFL 15 launches in late August across PlayStation and Xbox platforms (as well as PC), you'll find a ton of new defensive controls and options, according to a presentation given at EA's annual E3 press conference. (http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06/09/e3-2014-madden-nfl-15s-all-new-defense)

PC? I do not know if that was a typo but if true I know a lot of people that will be happy. Not to mention the possibility of making NCAA tweaks from a PC game.


Edit: Steve at OS say nope.

Madden NFL 15 is coming to Xbox One, PS4, 360 and PS3 on August 26th. NO PC VERSION (For those that thought otherwise)

I still find naming everything a bit annoying (real AI 2.0) but I won't believe this is significantly better until I see it. AI has been a consistent weakness in Madden.

I find it annoying too. However, it makes it easier to talk about, especially in print. If various facets of the game weren't named, it would take an extra paragraph of explaining what they were every time we posted to complain about them. :)

Very true.

It still won't be where we want it. That pic looks like PS3 graphics BTW.
