It’s that time of the year where this editor starts panicking over who’s going to review the latest American Football game. While our UK-based office is brimming with footy fanatics, the majority of this team has a fondness for the wrong kind of beautiful game, and that’s likely to cause problems when Madden NFL 15 touches down.
Still, maybe our disinterest in egg-shaped balls may prove positive after all, as EA Sports’ latest non-soccer sim looks practically terrifying in this brand new trailer. The footage is designed to demonstrate the quality of its next-gen player models, but Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly looks anything but impressive in this clip.
The game’s due out on both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 on 26th August, meaning that we’ve got several months to solve our reviewer dilemma. Moreover, it will give the publisher time to pick a cover star, with the firm planning some form of ESPN poll over the coming weeks. Our vote goes to that one guy with a helmet...

I've owned Every Madden since 2000 so I could review it if you NEED someone to do it. But in all seriousness, I'm expecting a big leap from last year's game. I got it for PS3 and PS4 and to be honest there wasn't much of a difference except that the menus ran smoother
That character model looks terrible and creepy.
I do understand how the character model could go into the uncanny valley for some but it's not creepy at all to me.
Just putting it out there- as an American and good patriot, I love me some good ol' football. The last couple of Maddens have been lacking in some really important modes so I hope they rectify the issues.
I loved the Madden games right up through 2005. Starting with 06 it seems the series has been on a steady decline. As a huge NFL fan, here's hoping the new gen brings a return to form for Madden. If not, I hope something happens so 2K can make a comeback.
Looks like the terminator
@Edwin_Garcia Point taken.
See, this is REAL football you non American heathens!
@turtlelink MURICA!
@Gamer83 couldn't agree more. I have been playing Madden since the Genesis days, and the last great Madden game was '05. I would even make an argument for '04 since the addition of the "hit stick" isn't that big of a deal to me.
