as a guy who up until about 2 weeks ago when I grabbed a PS4, ran with a PS3 since they came out, and pretty much boycotted damn near all Madden's since around '08, I will say this game is tits.
granted, I haven't played Madden in so long, and even when I did, I usually played a 2-3 year old version. Alot of it is probably still being in love with the PS4 too. But man......this thing is awesome. and I've only spent about 3 hours playing it, so I haven't gotten in depth at all. Just a few 'play now' games to get the feel. The skills trainer is awesome, but for tonight, I wanted to move on to a game. I'll get into the trainer probably this weekend.
controls are a bit funky for me, but that's largely because I haven't played it in so long. So, I had the occasional bonehead play because I wasn't all that familiar. blocked one kick already, but it was a 55 yarder at the end of a half.
It's hard to explain - it just seems very fluid, and reactions of bodies flying around, running and turning awkwardly and falling down etc make for a realistic game. haven't quite gotten used to the whole idea of passing a ball then going for a receiving option when catching of either RAC, agreessive, or possession type catch. But I like that idea. so far, at least the computer anyway, it seems you're able to impact a catch on defense a LOT more by getting into the receiver, and disrupting/making contact.
I can tell I'm going to spend a shit load of time on this game. I can't believe I'm saying that about Madden. lol. I'm sure once the newness of the game wears off and I experience.....Madden-type shit in a game, I'll have a laundry list of frustrations. But for now, it's very slick.
