Madden doesn't change much year over year, but from the moment I started up Madden NFL 15, things seemed to be different. It’s as if Madden, a franchise that’s taken itself so seriously in the past, has loosened up a bit. It features a defensive player –Super Bowl Champion Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks—on the cover for the first time since Troy Polamalu in Madden 10 and, the start screen is filled with his teammates in various states of flexing, bringing a lighthearted attitude along with them. It might seem like a small thing, but it sets a new tone, one that’s drastically different than any other Madden game of the past.
