    CPU QBs are absolutely god like. Nothing can stop them, even on pro. Rush Pressure, don't care. Every man covered, NOPE the WR will catch anything.

    CPU QB rushing is god like to, the defense will not react at all until it's way too late.

    Probably the WORST commentating I have heard in a sports game since the PS1/N64 era... just awful, might as well mute it.

    Refs look like N64 Refs

    It's really sad that 2K will get no rights to the NFL because I know for a fact they would destroy Madden.

    So glad i rented this one

    I'm a football fan and an energetic gamer, I've played Madden NFL since my beloved 2004- Ray Lewis cover, since that awesome title I've been trying to feel the same hype when it comes to a NFL simulator, but all I have found is a long-lasting disappointment. I ended up buying my second NFL title with a new hardware, and it was Madden NFL 07 the one that wasn't that good even though the huge leap in graphics! Still having hopes I tried Madden NFL 10 which didn't liked it either as much as the previous once, that turned me down for at least 5 years, when Madden NFL 15 came out and it's actually the one I'm talking about.

    Madden NFL 15 is a really bad game. When it comes to gameplay, it feels far from realistic. And moreover when you compare it with the actual game and the way it's actually played it's far from realistic. Beginning with the movements and taunts from the players, previous Madden titles where justified to have few dynamic movements coming from the players, but we are facing a technological revolution at the time in which gaming has come to a almost realistic featured games, and such is the case that you can see it even in other EA titles such as Battlefield, FIFA and even Dragon Age. Then what's the matter that Madden doesn't even have cheerleaders? Is it so difficult to add a ton of movements and different taunts, instead of a cyclical of a few poor ones?
    Secondly, controls. The controls at least for the PS4 are ridiculous, for instance the right stick for tackling isn't even helping that much as previous titles, furthermore the evasive buttons do not work either, but that doesn't even matter most as in any Madd titles before they have been helpful. Moreover and the most painful one is the touchpad, by just slipping your finger upwards through the touchpad accidentally it automatically calls a challenge play! That is ridiculous! I've lost a ton of timeouts thanks to that stupid command!
    Another thing that is far from making a difference in Madd titles is the voice presenters. This unrealistic commentators are simply annoying! They just repeat the same things all over again I would just prefer to play on mute mode. And I know I can complain about that because FIFA presenters aren't bad, actually make the gameplay even more realistic, why then Madd titles have such a bad commentator acting?
    Ultimate team is another example of how bad does EA wants Madden to be like FIFA, but also how bad the try. MUT is a pay to win simulator where if you don't invest hours, and I mean literally hundred of them you won't make the top rewards. The worst part is that as a new Madden title will overshadow the previous one in just a year, there is no actual sense of progression and even an intensive to care.
    Finally and I think is the most intriguing thing is the lack of realistic features that make Madden NFL 15 the worst Madd title I have played ever. For instance the worst of all is the fact that when gaining yards after a run or complete pass but thrown back by a tackle your actually start the next down in the longest yardage previously completed, in spanish called "Máximo avance". In the game when being tackled right at the line of conversion and thrown back by the defender you do not make the first down! That is ridiculous!
    Another ridiculous situation is when the opponent team (and the AI actually makes this all the time) punts the football away out of the sideline and for no reason you end up starting back the 20 from your side of the field, this stupid call is far from reality because of the impression of any mean to actually look at the right spot where the ball went out of bounds, in the f* air! OMG you guys at EA actually know the ground rules of football?
    Other example of the lack of realistic situations according to the rules is the constant plays where the referee does not call a pass interference, or even a clear personal foul! All these may be seen as bugs, but after months of release I just realised is that devs don't give a damn on the resemblance with reality.

    I'm seriously disappointed with this title after being a Madd fan for more than 10 years. I just wish developers actually made a good call and start from scratch a new simulator that we NFL dabblers deserve.

    Madden 15 is what Madden 25 should have been. This game is nothing special, it uses noticeable aspects from the previous game. The only really new things that are noticeable are:
    > More training options within connected carriers.

    Another failed attempt this year. To start, the menus are slow and laggy. Push a button and it will respond a few seconds later. Hard to believe this is next gen. Play is once again unrealistic in so many ways. Computer goes 90% passing, while I suffer over 15 drop balls in a game. Players stumble and fall in awkward positions often leading to tackles that make little sense.

    What's that about not being able to look at your Defensive plays while the other person is picking his offensive play? STUPID!!!

    Just not much here to deem a purchase. Very slow load times as well.

    Great graphics. I feel they overpowered the defense and changed the CPU QB. Before the QB would throw the ball in a hurry or out of bounds but now i get more sacks and the QB keeps the high percentage. Its still fun to play but I think they should balance the players out more. Also the deep ball only works for the CPU.

    I will preface this review to say I am 32 and have owned every madden from 93 on except madden 25.This review is mainly about online play as who cant beat the cpu on all pro with little difficulty by now?

    Well another year and another Madden. This year like most years has me starting off liking the game a lot but the more games I play the more fault I find with it. I bought this game at the end of october and it was the sole reason I purchased a ps4 so I basically dropped down 900.00 to play this years madden.

    The Graphics look pretty good next gen I found I was impressed at first but realized I didnt care much about the game looking sharp as I do about it playing sharp. After 500 online ranked matches and being within the top 3.5% on the leaderboard I feel I can accurately depict my feelings for this game in one word;FRUSTRATING. I am frustrated because many of the same bugs that were in the game ranging all the way back from madden 93 are still here. Magnetic tackling is still a problem. Come on EA you cant be bothered to fix a problem that existed way back in the super nintendo days.

    Money plays Still are very much still in the game. No matter how great I am on Defense it doesnt matter when it comes to play action corner routes or a deep bomb. Opponents will constantly spam the same route over and over for over half of their plays. They know you will block most of them but they know no matter how good you play you wont block all of them the game doesnt let you. For instance for years now I find that sometimes when I am pursuing a scrambling qb out of the pocket my defender cant go past a certain point and it just allows the qb right on by for the first or most often times more. Even in a qb contain it doesnt do what you ask it to. After 25 years of Madden there just isnt any excuse EA can give for this disgraceful treatment of its fans. EA needs to bring back fair play. No more stopping opponents on 3 downs only to have them go for it on 4th and 17 or 4th and 13 and make it almost everytime because of the aforementioned money plays. If a football team wouldnt go for it in real life in the given situation then players shouldnt even be allowed because you know they are gonna abuse it. Another issue is punting and kickoffs. A new thing people do is do such a intentionally short punt that the ai doesnt have time to get to field the ball and you dont have time to call fair catch and so the ai lets the ball bounce adding another 35 or 45 yards to the punt. On kickoffs the opponent playing mindgames with the onside or squib picking one of those 2 options and seeing how you are lined up and if it is in the correct formation they will call a timeout and keep everything the same but hope you change formation so they can get the ball back very easily. A lot of times opponents will hold down a key so that in kickoff you cant switch it to onside once you see they went onside.

    Defense. What can I say here EA hasnt got rid of the superlinebacker who is somehow able to bat a pass down that is intended to be to a receiver deep down field. That ball trajectory should be to high for anyone to bat it or intercept it from the linebacker spot. Linebackers shouldnt be able to stop a deep thrown ball in their base area of coverage. Corners controlled by the cpu almost always is somehow able to make a break on the ball even if they arent even aware that the ball is in the air and coming to their receiver they still magically get into position.

    The Screen pass is to much of a money play to the point where almost everyone uses and abuses it. I play fair and dont really use it because of course I could cheat like others but no im not going to I shouldnt have to and EA shouldnt allow this to happen by eliminating the money plays altogether. No matter how much attention I pay to obvious formation lineups and despite knowing what the play is likely to be and almost always ends up being and despite calling it out loud to anyone sitting near me to witness the bs some plays just cant be stopped constantly.

    Anyways, I have used almost all of the characters up I felt I had to write this review even though pretty much everyone who would buy madden has don so due to such a short lifespan for sports titles. If you play honest and want a real challenge friend me on the ps4 and we can play madden. username: smokerjoesteelers and to all of the cheaters who make the game even less fun then it is get a life you are all grown men who have to cheat in a videogame to even be able to compete. It is pathetic that you would pay money to play a game to ruin other peoples play. Until most of these issues are fixed if you have friends who play the best way is in person.

    p.s where the heck is the pass interference penalties? People are bashing receivers and illegal pick glitching interceptions. Until these issues are fixed Madden is done for me. I bought a new system hoping this would make it different and it didnt

It does have its shortcomings, but it does shine.

    The game has a nice new coat of paint, and it looks absolutely stunning. Every blade of grass, sweat dripping from players, among other things. The controls are the same, but decently responsive. Connected Franchise is the same as last year, nothing new. Madden Ultimate Team has been fairly upgraded from last year. Last year, I didn't enjoy MUT. However, I have found myself playing it more than any other game mode. It's actually quite enjoyable. #TeamNoMoneySpent. I like the fact that they implemented new ideas to the skills trainer, and frankly, it's the best skills trainer I have ever seen in any football title. The new skills trainer explains nearly every aspect of football, and I have found myself educated on different playstyles.

    Though, I find this year's installment enoyable, I do have my rants. Why does it have the same commentary as the past 3 years? Why? Same tackle animations, but it does have a few new ones. I find the presentation gawdy. It needs to be watered down. I hate that it takes FOREVER to skip through some of the cutscenes. At the Madden title screen, it takes a good amount of time to load the damn game. ****ing annoying. My biggest complaint with this year is defense. Defense just feels like you cant stop the other team. Coverages by the defense are downright atrocious! It is challenging trying to stop the offense on a drive.

    All in all, I think this years Madden is a buy. Will it give you a whole new experience? No. But, does it have new elements? Yes. If you're a football fan, I recommend the game. It will give you hours of enjoyable gameplay. For those skeptical on the nice $60 pricetag, maybe wait a few months until you can find a cheaper used copy.

    If you have played Madden the last couple of years, you're not missing out on much. The game play is mostly the same with some both improvements and disappointments. One thing that personally annoys me is the soundtrack Madden has put in the last few years, but lets talk about the important things. I've only played this for PS4.

    PROS:
    Some new and improved concepts in Madden 15 are the defensive controls. New animations on the defensive line make it fun running threw the o-line and getting to the QB. There's also a new method for conservative and aggressive tackling. It's a feature I don't use much, but seems to be a plus for the new addition. They have kept and improved the skill drill games and those are always fun to do. They also put some new animations in for tackling and catches which is always welcomed.

    CONS:
    I feel like the cons out weigh the pros in this year's Madden though. One thing they have taken out is the coin toss. The flipping coin toss! Instead, they now have you choose what you would like to do if the coin toss is in your favor and decides it before the game starts. I personally HATE this. That's just one fundamental feature Madden should have. Another one is something Madden has never improved on and that is the feature of challenging plays. Refs will make the wrong call, but the challenge will never reverse the play like it would have in real life. The only way successful challenges are called is automatic and usually only for fumbles. Sometimes it feels as if you cannot direct a user player in certain directions. There has been many times we're on defensive I try to turn up field yet my player will go in another direction. I'm not sure of the cause of this but it is extremely annoying.

    Madden 15 is overall a fun game and fantasy drafts always make for an interesting season in franchise mode. I'm a big fan of the franchise and will probably end up getting next year's no matter what. EA Sports just needs to throw in some basic football fundamentals and Madden would be absolutely awesome. Hopefully they'll do it soon but I'd would recommend everyone to at least try it out.

    Poor animations, terrible blocking A.I., a lack of player authenticity (wrong body types, wrong and/or missing equipment, wrong jersey types), a real-time physics engine that can best be described as "over-sensitive" and "broken", a focus on MUT, and a complacent, apathetic development team that scoffs at every user wishlist request as being "too minor for us to care about" (here's lookingPoor animations, terrible blocking A.I., a lack of player authenticity (wrong body types, wrong and/or missing equipment, wrong jersey types), a real-time physics engine that can best be described as "over-sensitive" and "broken", a focus on MUT, and a complacent, apathetic development team that scoffs at every user wishlist request as being "too minor for us to care about" (here's looking at you Clint Oldenburg), all works to continue to hold Madden back from the greatness other sports games achieved two generations ago.

    Despite all of those issues, Madden 15 manages to be a fun game, albeit one that consistently shows flashes of unfulfilled potential and sloppy production values that have carried over since the development of Madden 06 and have never been conquered. A development team with real passion could run it in for a winning touchdown. Sadly, EA Tiburon is not that team; EA Tiburon is a team that chooses to pass middle-field from the 1-yard line and get intercepted each and every season.

    I had the ps3 version and the ps4 version and for some reason the ps3 version is better. Obviously the graphics on the ps4 is better, however the mechanics and fluidity of movement is way better on the ps3. I dont know how many times i caught the ball and got tackled short or ran out of bounds because the guy doesnt turn up field after catching it.

    pretty good gameplay. ultimate team was really good this year but with franchise mode was improved upon. everything else is good. l like the new gauntlet gamemode because it reminds me of the mini camp from the old games with and exciting new twist.

    You can’t find a better American football game. Not because there is not another game, but mainly because this one is pretty damn good. It looks great, sounds great, and plays great.

    Madden NFL 15 does justice to one of the most well-known sports both in the USA and all over the world. A huge simulator full of options and playable modes that will take you straight to the Super Bowl in the University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale (Arizona).

    For those who are not familiar with football, it won't be easy to learn the basics, but there's a ton of fun to be had for everyone else.
