    I've never had the issue before, but searching on the Madden forum on Operation Sports shows that a number of people have had the same problem.

    As Pudsy says, clearing the cache on your hard drive should sort it and that seems to be a solution suggested quite a bit on said forum with a lot of success. If you're on the Xbox 360, you could also try installing the game to your hard drive.

    Also, if you're on the Xbox 360 get signed up to our league :D

    E3 tonight lads. I think the EA stuff kicks off around 8pm our time. EA are miles behind in terms of their usual promotion strategy of the game, so I'm hopeful we'll get to see a decent bit on Madden 15.

    Cue a 20 second trailer like the one already released. :pac:

    No difference at all mate. We all were rookies at one stage. The best way to improve is by playing in the league as we play proper NFL style, e.g. punting on 4th downs which doesn't happen online against random players.

    Yeah im hopeful of something good to be honest.
    This version has really drained me so i really want to be wowed, my worry is the 360 gets the ****ty version of the game while the XBO gets all the fancy stuff.

    its likely what will happen generally they gear the second game on the next gen towards next gen consoles so the 360 version unfortunately will likely only be thrown together

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Madden 15 features this gimmicky tackle cone. That was a three or four year run with no ridiculous gimmicks so it had to come to an end eventually I guess. I'm already praying that it can be turned off as it makes the game look far too arcade-like with it on:

    Bptkh4BCYAITKQi.jpg:large

    Here's some of the presentation, it's only a couple of minutes long. The "perfect" sign flashing up when shedding a block, ugh. Again something I hope can be turned off due to its arcade-ness. The camera being behind you on defense will be interesting, I can imagine that will take some getting used to.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdS6Zm_1COM


    I liked this tweet:
    Shace Holdu @ShaceHoldu
    Madden 50 will have a loading screen that says "Madden NFL 15 featured the controversial 'tackle cone' which was removed the following yr."

    :pac::pac:

    There should be some gameplay videos up over the next day or two anyway as the guy giving the presentation said he invites people at E3 to come play it.

    The arcade style you speak of with the perfect and button hints, its the training segment. Like we had in madden 25 for showing us the new moves for running backs.

    I for one cant stand people who just blast the hit stick every time they get there chance. its far to easy to use. Im just hoping for a more AI orientated pass coverage.

    Every year they talk about using the best camera angles and directors for the presentation. You'd think one of them would get it right eventually. Everybody just skips it after the first few times of watching anyway, I'm not sure why they always point presentation out as a feature.

    I really hope they make it so that when the CPU wins the coin toss they don't choose to receive every single time, it's been annoying me for years!

    Looks like it's something that will be improved on at least. The disguised defenses are a nice touch, presuming there'll be no easy way to find out what they're in.
    ZONE/MAN COVERAGE IMPROVEMENTS

    Zone Coverage ratings now have a bigger impact on how quickly defenders break on throws. Defenders with higher ratings in Zone Coverage will react much quicker to throws.

    Defenses are now smarter when it comes to going for a swat vs. an interception or a tackle. This improved logic will be broken down by player traits.

    Improvements have also been made to zone defenders responsible for the flats. Some things to look out for include smarter principles (no more out route abuse!), improved head tracking on all players, increases in press and chuck interactions between DBs and wide receivers, as well as better pursuit and tackling ability.

    Man Coverage ratings have also been tweaked to impact how much separation receivers are able to get on cuts in their routes, resulting in improved behavior of the defender.

    New to Madden NFL 15 is the addition of disguised defenses, where opposing secondaries will show you one coverage but give another.

    Good piece here.

    http://www.operationsports.com/features/1877/madden-nfl-15-in-depth-gameplay-interview-with-rex-dickson/

    to be honest the wind direction will be a good indicator if they are arsed about making a decent game or not. If they don't bother to fix it is a very bad sign.

    Also for an "off topic" thread, we sure do spend a lot of time talking about madden in here,

    This is good review.. Texans are going to be beastly!

    Looks like pass D is going to be improved, i like the "cover the 1st down marker option"

    I can see the Seahawks with their secondary going very high in the draft.

    Also for CPU games, it seems if you keep doing the same "money" play you'll get found out which is good news

    The tackling cone looks like it will be off as we play @ All Pro level too, but assume you can switch it on if you want

    QB accuracy looks to be fixed, if you play with Geno Smith you'll throw it all over the field!

    more penalties being called such as – blocking downfield, late hits out of bounds and roughing the passer were all penalties I saw numerous times that I saw none of last year This will be interesting, given that you see a lot of tackles on the sideline

    Typical texans will be class the year after I have them! I'm really looking forward to getting a new team, and since well be more or less split down the middle for consoles, either side can get a good enough team! Only problem is deciding the order of picks!

    Based on results for the 360 anyway, XBO can fcuk right off!

    EA have been restricting gameplay videos at E3, but a few have surfaced:

    I just know that I'm going to be so, so tempted to buy an Xbox One for this. Graphically, it looks stunning on next-gen. Will I be able to resist?
