It was good and the graphics were awesome the only sad part is that it freezes a lot and when someone does get to play the game decides the outcome of the coin toss.

Madden with bugs

Never seen so many bugs in a Madden iteration but it's still the best looking version, coupled with a great training mode because of the integrated Xs and Os.
Gameplay is fun when you make the right read as a quarterback. Don't and it's an interception half the time.
As for the bugs, I've seen a fumble called but neither team goes for it, couldn't hike the ball and had to call a timeout, the announcers describe the play erroneously.

Typical Madden game

This Madden plays like every other if you want or you can take advantage of some advanced controls that can overwhelm if you're not ready for them. It looks great from a visual standpoint. However, the commentary is bad. Phil Simms and Jim Nantz can get tiresome, there are some mistakes like saying there is a punt return for a TD when there hasn't been. It can be a little off when commentary says that was a six yard gain and the ticker comes up showing a six yard gain, you've actually gained six yards, yet it's 2nd and 5. This happens often and for small details it adds up and can be annoying. As far as difficulty, you can be winning by two scores when all of a sudden you fumble, TD, throw a pick six, and it's a whole new game. The computer defense just takes over and dominates you to even the game out. It can visually look like defenders will zip across the screen to complete these plays or to defend a pass.

THE BEST MADDEN EVER MADE.

This is the best football title I've played to date, and that includes 2K5 and APF2K8. It is not a perfect game, but the improvements far out weigh any of the the issues that exist within the game. In the 26 year history of the Madden series, the game has never taken this big of a leap forward, not within one cycle.
At long last, there is route recognition by zone defenders in a football video game. One defense that has always been problematic for game developers and programmers to get right, the Tampa 2, finally plays as it should. The Tampa 2 cb's will no longer jump flat routes, just to give up an easy 15 yard completion. They actually get enough depth after the jam and reroute on #1, to obstruct fades and corner routes. The T2 safeties get to the top of the numbers without any adjustments, and they are no longer glued there, either. The middle run through, although not perfect, the middle linebacker will get enough depth to obstruct deep throws down the middle of the field.
One of the biggest problems I have had with Madden, the horrific play of curl/flat zones, has finally been fixed. No longer will you see to different variations of the same zone, purple and light blue, because the c/f defender will take away the the deeper route, then rally to any throw made to the flat. One of the best additions to zone coverage, in my opinion, is the ability to choose how receivers are leveraged, and the depth they are carried. This is also very easy to do, as it is under the global coverage assignments.
As for the other side of the ball, the ability to run between the tackles is overdue, and a welcomed addition. A word of warning, if you were one of the individuals that relied on the overpowered outside runs in Madden 25, your one trick pony offense will no longer work! Yes, you can still have an outside running game, but you better learn to read your blocks and cut the ball back inside.
Passing the ball is harder than it's ever been, and that is due to the improvements in coverage, as well as a much improved pass rush. You will now be forced to read the defense, have your progressions down, and be willing to take the underneath completions. However, you can still have a vertical passing game, but you must not be too late, nor too early, when when making those throws.
Even if you are a long time Madden gamer, you will want to use the new skills trainer. There are a number of new mechanisms, and to get acclimated with these, you will need the skills trainer.
There are many aspects of the game I didn't address, but I believe I covered the ones that will be most important to anyone still unsure about purchasing the game. Although, the game is not a complete replication of football, it has taken a giant step towards becoming an authentic representation of football.

I want to start off saying, I was a huge NCAA fan but since they stop making that game, I went back to Madden. This is my first Madden game since probably 2005. It is definitely fun but commentators could be better. Same stuff over and over. But that is my only complaint, graphics are good and game play is fun.

I haven't purchased a new Madden game since the disappointing Madden 13. I skipped Madden 25 because it was the first go on brand new systems and I felt they left out some important features.
Well, this game is fantastic! The graphics are smooth and beautiful, I like the music, the game play is rock solid but most of all the options are plentiful and fun! I love playing the Team Owner mode and guiding long suffering franchises to success. (Jags, Browns, Titans, etc) It's really cool having the ability to change every little thing such as parking, ticket prices, chase free agents, etc.
Overall the changes made to the game are wonderful and for the better. I'd rate it an excellent 9/10!

Even if it was 2015, picked this up for $19.99. I tend not to buy sports games anymore, as they don't really hold up value for very long, but at $20 it was fine and especially for Madden on PS4. What else can be said about a Madden game year after year, that hasn't already been said or mentioned. If you're looking for specific gameplay reviews, it's not likely you're reading through these reviews, but overall I have yet to purchase a Madden game where I've been disappointed as compared to past seasons. EA has continually tried finding a way to improve on each year's iteration.

Overall, this game is much better than last year's effort. The graphics are clearly improved, and I really like the gameplay (despite the occasional wonky AI play-calls). Online performance can be improved, but hopefully future updates will improve that feature. Overall, a great game and lots of fun for the football gamer.
