Presentation — NFL game day is brought to life through improved likenesses to players and coaches, new gameplay camera angles and post player interactions that show the emotion of football.
Coaches have been revamped from head to toe to match their real life counterparts. The new All-22 gameplay camera gives you a birds-eye view of the action as you survey the entire field at once.
Post play, players comes to life through touchdown celebrations, sacks, tackles, and other events right in real time.
Risk vs. Reward — Defenders can now make aggressive or conservative tackles in the open field, with proximity cones showing the effective range of each.
Aggressive tackles can lead to big plays and fumbles, but conservative tackles are more likely to bring the ball-carrier down without giving up extra yards. The choice is yours, but so are the consequences.
Redesigned Coverage Logic — Have a bigger impact in the secondary with redesigned AI, providing more intelligence to how players react to the ball carrier. Defenses are now smarter when going for a swat vs. an interception or a tackle.
Man coverage has also been improved to impact how much separation receivers are able to get on cuts in their routes, resulting in improved behavior of the defender.
Run The Gauntlet — Skills Trainer has been expanded to teach not only gameplay skills, but strategy and football concepts as well. Learn how to read zone defenses, when to hot route a receiver and more with nearly 50 new tutorials and drills.
Once you've mastered the basics, enter The Gauntlet where your skills will be put to the ultimate test through intense challenges.

Love this Game!
I am a Madden "Lifer" who's been playing this series since I was 12 years old on super Nintendo (I am now 32). In addition to the roster updates which are standard with each new release, I like the attention that is paid to the defensive side of the game which narrows the advantage that the offense normally has. The skills trainer is handy for new gamers, which helps if you are new to Madden; or if you haven't played in a few years. The only downside is that now I wish I had the PlayStation 4 to experience the next generation graphics. If you love NFL football...this game is a must have!

Pretty good up to this point
I've honestly only dabbled with this game a bit since opening it yesterday (Christmas), especially since I got 2 other games and also tried those out. That said, it's a fun game to play with relatively updated rosters. I'm not such a stickler on rosters that I have to download them through Sony every time a team makes a transaction, but I do like it to be realistic enough where superstars are on the right teams. Mid-season trades can throw that off a bit, so I'll make allowances for that. I haven't played any Madden in a while, so I'm relearning the game and the controls. Definitely will be playing this a ton over the winter and spring as I long for the 2015 season to start.

same game with a few tweaks
I have been buy the Madden games whenever a new one is issued and I find that each game in recent years hasn't changed much. There are always a few tweaks to the gameplay, but no major changes. I do find that this edition seems to have amped up the run defense. It used to be easy to run against the defense and pile up the yards. But not anymore. It is definitely harder to get major yards with any running play. This edition seems to favor the players who like to use the passing game. Anyone who has played recent editions of Madden will find this edition to be basically the same as the others.
This my first Madden game...usually play NCAA but with no new game coming out I thought I would try Madden 15. The game seems pretty good, graphics are not as good as I thought they would be, some of the motions of players seems weird to me. The audible plays part is a little too much for me, I prefer the simpler mode of just having a select few for offense and defense instead of having them for all formations. Also there is no auto save for offline season play...all in all it is an enjoyable game and hopefully I will learn to master it more.

It's "Madden!" Need I say more
EA Sports is always looking for ways to make the game as close to the real deal as possible. Each year they make another stride in that direction with game play, control and the visual experience. Its still hard to tear myself away once I get going. I just wish there was a fix for the console's loading time. I wont be upgrading to the PS4 so I've accepted it as something I have to live with. "Madden Rules!"

Great game
Definitely a great game. I haven't played online yet and usually just do seasons. It's a little confusing to start a season in the game but I guess that's because you can only do it in Franchise mode. There's a lot to do in this game so it might get a little complicated but if you're just looking to do the basics, you should be fine. I don't have time to do all of the training or developing players and coaches throughout the season.

as expected, and more
after buying several versions of Madden, you come to expect a certain level of game ... this game meets all that and more... I thought I was going to play, but spent an hour doing drills ... and still have a lot of drills to do ... drills help those of us who have a life and can't spend all day playing games ... get it & enjoy it. cool stuff. great graphics & great game play.

Madden returns to glory.
Once a fan of the 16 bit era games, I feel the franchise lost its way after back room deals locked up an exclusive deal between the NFL and EA to produce NFL Football video games. The yearly iterations felt stale and sometimes took steps backwards rather than innovate. This year, the franchise returns to glory and runs smoothly on "last generation hardware" like the PS3.
