So I caved and got Madden 15

[KillerKat]

I decided its been a while since I played a football game. Probably about 7-8 years. There's no other games I'm playing atm, so I decided to give Madden a try again and bought it for about 35 bucks on Ebay.

Right now I'm still getting used to the controls. Which btw, it's freaking ridiculous how many combinations of buttons you have to remember if you want to be great at this game. Most of any other game I've played.

The graphics are very generic. It looks like the graphics from when the PS3 first came out (that's what I have btw). Almost NFL2k5-ish. There is a lot they could've done here, but didn't. Even though I think GTA5 was overrated, even that game has better graphics than Madden.

I don't understand taking away season mode. Now you are forced to play as a player, coach, or owner. You can't just simply go into a season with your team and not worry about other crap.

The gaming AI and player movement looked a little improved. Still, they could've done better.

I do like playing as owner though, making the roster the way I want it.

Overall, Madden still doesn't care about it's users and still is putting out sub-par football games when they could've done much better. I play it still though because I bought it almost half priced and I do miss playing football games. Glad I never spent 60 bucks on this.

It sucks balls. I haven't touched it in a couple months.

I still have mine for sale for $40 shipping included. Madden is like dressage. It started out with good intentions but has been so perverted by people that it takes so much work and studying to figure things out.

It really looks like they threw poo together and called it Madden 15. The layout is really weird. You can see jagged edges on the players and coaches. It is a very unpolished game.

And it lags like hell too

Last-gen (PS3/XBOX 360) Madden was pretty much a throw away game from EA.  The real Madden is on the PS4/XB1 unfortunately.

But for me it should look really good compared to what I played since it's been so long. It looks like a game that was made in 2005.

I still believe it looks light years better than both Madden and 2K that was released in 04/05.

After playing a few games, I see it's impossible to lead a guy when throwing the football. If you want to lead the receiver, the throw just goes straight to them. wtf?

You just suck azz..sell it and close this biatch thread.

I did find the defense way better than last year's.

Oh man I just realized a big reason why I quit madden in the first place. Sliders. Especially Auto-Sub sliders. I never understood why EA couldn't fix substitutions according to what team's actually do during games. I can never get these things right. My starters would be substituted after a few plays and only come back in for a couple. I couldn't get the right balance. Samething with gameday sliders. In the end, it annoyed me too much and I was fed up with Madden's bs that I decided to quit.

I wonder if NFL players scream at the game because of impossible physics the same way I scream at FPS
