Please tell me I wasn’t the only one who instantly said “WHAT!?” when I saw the headline. Yes I know I should have realized but after Madden 25 I assumed this years outing would be Madden 26, so needless to say I felt unbelievably stupid when I realized my mistake. Obviously the 25 was to celebrate 25 Madden games, 15 is to signify that it is the 2015 outing of Madden.
Madden 15 will be available from August 29th (in the UK) on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
To coincide with the announcement EA released a teaser video that shows very little and offered up a single paragraph of marketing spiel that also tells us very little. You can see both below.
“Madden NFL 15 delivers everything fans need to own their rivals on both sides of the field, including the most immersive defensive gameplay control in franchise history. Like the Super Bowl XLVIII champion Seattle Seahawks, you can win championships and bask in the glory of success by building a great defense fit to challenge the best offenses in the game. Fans will also experience an entirely new broadcast presentation that delivers Madden NFL game day like never before with dramatic all-new camera angles, as well as dynamic pre-game and halftime features. It’s not just football, it’s Madden Season.”
As with previous years EA is teaming with ESPN to run a public vote to decide which NFL athlete will grace the cover of Madden 15. No other info about the vote has been given but we have been encouraged to tune into the NFL Draft on May 8th to see an announcement regarding the vote.
