The model looks like his lizard-man replica.

I buy Madden games every 3-5 years. I'll probably get this one. This one should be the first one built with the new consoles in mind. Hopefully it's at least pretty. They can't change sports games that much year to year, because the rules don't change.

That's pretty much my take on it too. I've got a couple of them, but I usually only buy them about every 3 years and I get enough of a change to warrant the purchase.

Oddly enough, one of my favourite football games is still Backbreaker. I was kinda hoping there'd be a sequel.

oh, and yeah here's your obligatory: #fuckthesaints

Not that this will ever happen but a new feature that adds realism to the game would be a police blotter. Aside from injury reports and team transactions. We get to know which players won't be available while the legal process takes place. For example: Player X has been arrested for a DUI on Wednesday, will available for Sundays game. Player Y will not be available. Awaiting trial for bringing loaded gun into strip club. Disciplinary action from league pending. Player Z has been released from team. On trial with connection to a murder. No comment from team officials or league office at this time.

If you pre-order now. You will get the limited edition Madden 15 with pink box art and bonus pink wrist band. 1% of the money will go towards the NFL breast cancer research awareness fund.

What about a random chance of the match being suspended due to rivaling fans stabbing each other in the stands, running naked onto the field and throwing fireworks?

The length of this trailer is equal to the amount of interest I'd say most of us have in this game.

@turboman: Well, I'll be damned. The trailer predicted the future. Also, I'm European, so the only exposure to American football for me is when Giant Bomb does a Madden quick look and when I watch the super bowl.

@benderunit22: He's defensive player of the year Luke Kuechly. He won it in his second year at Carolina Panthers.

For some reason (both streaming and progressive views) this video played the audio but was showing a black screen for me. I was disappointed that the download showed there was visual content rather than EA taking the piss (with a funny, dumb, audio-only reveal video), it was EA taking the piss (with a dull, generic, single-model only reveal video).

I really hope this game is good because I want to play a football game but want to wait for the good year of Madden (which seems to be about every 2-3 years).

Not expecting anything ground-breaking, but it should be fine if they don't do anything to break it. I look forward to the awkward E3 press conference where they bring some NFL players on stage to talk.

Unitl 2K can get the licensing and make a better football game, I will pass on Madden. EA and the NFL are being sneaky about the licensing stuff as well.

Did I miss the disclaimer that the game will look five-times worse than that model shown?

I'm sad that I don't want to play Madden games any more, I used to be excited for them, not in years.
