Madden NFL 15 is the first Madden title for next-generation consoles with a full year of development behind it, and if this screen shot is any indication, there is a significant leap in terms of graphical fidelity.
When you study the picture of Colin Kaepernick, you can see that the pads and jersey fit more realistically than they did in the previous Madden title. The lighting is also much better, with shadowing on each fold of the jersey. It’s also very easy to recognize the 49er quarterback’s face. The tattoos, while common in games like NBA 2K, are brand new to Madden. However, Kaepernick is the only player in the new Madden who will feature tattoos. The added ink certainly looks detailed, and will help to distinguish him even further from his video game counterparts.
It’s difficult to say whether this level of detail will be noticeable when playing since the camera is generally pulled out further so that it’s easier to see the entire play unfolding. However, up close, this Madden is looking really nice so far.

Was definitely considering the Madden 25 just because i felt obligated to buy since i was playing Madden since the beginning but not sure if I should get Madden 15 instead…Would love some feedback on this…
For my money, it all comes down to how much you want to pay.
Madden 15 will be new, have the latest rosters, and all of the newest features. The graphics also look at lot better (at least for the PS4 and Xbox One versions).
However, if you don’t care about every new feature (and, quite honestly, if you’re not a Madden die hard, you may not even know what new features are in Madden 15), and you want the game for much cheaper, Madden 25 wasn’t a bad game.
