Madden NFL 15 First Info, Release Date, Trailer, Cover Vote & More

When I see Frank Gore spin it just reminds me that the animations need to be more rating driven. Why is it that EA has 2 spin animations and they kick in at thresholds? They seem to let 90+ ratings do some things, lump 70-89 guys all in the same boat and low guys don't get anything. I'd like to see the speed of the animation directly tied to their rating. At 100 spin it's as fast as possible. At 80 it should be at 80% speed and a lineman at 50 should have the animation take twice as long to execute. We would see the differences better and it would be more ratings driven. Same for the juke.

I believe so. They also released things later.

They haven't talked about franchise yet. I'm under the impression it's because there aren't a lot of changes but that is coming still.

Probably nothing else to be reported other than maybe one or two more places to relocate...

-Coin toss in overtime.
-Online communities most likely not in game
-Creating/Editing Draft Classes is "highly, highly unlikely"

Pretty much status quo from last year. If they didn't add major things to cfm, what exactly did they do outside of the new playcalling system?

No coin toss in ot wtf.? who gets the ball then?

Draft class thing not a big deal since no ncaa game.

Y all are too picky.

The draft class is huge. Especially since there is no NCAA game guys want to add in the top prospects. Also the Madden draft classes can be cheated. It's the coin toss that is meaningless. You still pick, you just don't see the cut scene.

[GatorfanStovy]

Oh ok about the coin toss. I think most people down the road are gonna skip pass all the presentation stuff any how.

But with all this lawsuits for NCAA I don't think you will see any kind of add in for draft classes any time soon so just let that one go.

I can guarantee you there will be no edit draft class B/c a class action against EA for Madden would be coming their way again (hell it might even be required in the settlement agreement).

I suspect you are right about that. It's too bad though because some of the names are absurd. It would be nice though if we could at least edit non-name features.

I thought this was an interesting video clip.

[jaymo76]

This is a great comparison video of Madden 25 and All-Pro 2k8 with regards to dynamic sidelines. 2k really deserves a lot of credit. I think I read somewhere that the Madden sidelines have not been touched for Madden 15.

[Rudy]

The comparison video of Madden 09 or 13 until now was interesting. Madden does need to have better sidelines but that's a very small feature IMO. I really don't care much at all. I have no problem with the decision to spend the time and effort and system power on the player models.

I will say I bought APF for my PS3 and it was one of the ugliest sports games I've ever seen. The framerate was terrible, player models weak - it was barely better than my PS2. At the end of the day it fixed some things but it felt like a PS2 version of 2K5 without real teams or players or franchise mode or full edits. I was very disappointed.

Based on this article I suspect that a new aspect of CFM will be... wait for it... NEW SB presentation...

Leverone: Do you have a favorite part of the new game?

Murray: I can't tell you what my favorite part is because you haven't seen it and we haven't announced it yet. But my second favorite has to be the cameras. It's me knowing where we were and where we went in nine months. The best compliment I got was, I'm talking to people in other video games and I give them the whole list of everything that we did and then they're playing the game and they go 'well you must've had an advanced team on this. There's no way you did this in one cycle.' A typical cycle for us is nine months, we had about seven.

I really hope the Wrs and RBs aren't brain dead on passes near the sidelines. Sideline awareness was awful last year.

Yup, this problem continues to plague the series.
