    The feature set remains fundamentally unchanged, but each of the core modes have increased in breadth and decreased in clutter, making it easy to dig into features that might have seemed too dense from a distance. Madden 15 looks sharper than ever, but its biggest achievement is its dedication to improving core systems that have held the series back in the past.

    I still want nothing to do with microtransaction-laden Ultimate Team. Connected Careers is still dull in Owner Mode (halfhearted management sim) and filled with unnecessary gimmicks in the rest (don't worry about Confidence, just dump XP direct into player stats and win games).

    Madden NFL 15 is an enjoyable football game on the surface, but its dragged down by a thousand little issues, including a poor interface, odd glitches, the inability to skip certain cutscenes, and more. As nice as it is to see it take a step forward in terms of accessibility, it still has a ways to go before catching up with the likes of FIFA and NBA 2K.

    Same game. Players still move like they are on skates. Defensive players react 10x faster than offensive players. The deep ball has beenSame game. Players still move like they are on skates. Defensive players react 10x faster than offensive players. The deep ball has been removed completely from the game. DE's play like corners. Animations are still somewhat canned. I get the focus on defense, but its just too much. Also 10 games in and not a single pass interference or defensive holding? (Not that I love penalties, but that is part of the game now.) It just seems like the same crap over and over. Disappointed. Full Review »

It is identical to madden 25. The only reason i bought it is because i play online ONLY, but for others who plays franchise mode must be more disappointed than me. Crazy, but $60 for a new cd and cover. Full Review »

    Same Choppy game every year. Feels like you're just playing Madden 09 with better graphics and updated rosters. I don't need to see playersSame Choppy game every year. Feels like you're just playing Madden 09 with better graphics and updated rosters. I don't need to see players on the ground after the tackle sit to wait for their teammates to pick them up, and I certainly don't need to see a next gen game where people are still walking through each others bodies like it's nothing. I don't like the new features; no matter what they do they won't get rid of the stiffness the game suffers from when you play. Full Review »
