The Arrival of Madden 15.

We have seen Kevin Hart and a Franco brother endorse it. We have even seen Damian Lillard in the new commercial. Well , the time has come...MADDEN 15 IS IN STORES TODAY. Football fans all over the nation can now enjoy the new Madden. Now that it's out, let's talk about some of the new features on the game that seperates it from Madden 14.

NEW FEATURES:

-Pass rush mechanics
A new feature called "jump snap" allows for gamers to have a jump start towards the quarterback if timed correctly. If not, people will get the 5 yard penalty.

-Tackling
There are 4 different types of tackling that have been implemented into the game. Pressing A+X makes for a conservative tackle, pressing LT + A/X performs a conservative 'breakdown' tackle (sure tackle) , X is a diving tackle, and using the right stick is the big hit. Just like there was a passing cone for quarterbacks in Madden 06, there is a tackling cone for defensive players. Let's see if this feature will truly make defense more fun.

-Game Prep and Confidence
In this year's Madden game, look out for "confidence" ratings to affect players. Players will have a confidence rating between 1-99. In Madden, a player's confidence can be affected by a number of different factors: whether a player is a starter or backup, margin of victory/loss, and their performance in a big game. If a player's confidence drops below 30, you will see a change in his ratings. If his confidence rating reaches a 75 or higher, his overall rating will increase.
