I played both, and I swear I can not tell the difference. They are identical in every way.

Was always my understanding that you are supposed to get both. I'm picking my Ultimate Edition up from Best Buy this afternoon on my way home from work and will let you know if I get the preorder bonus as well.
Over at Operation Sports there is a 17 page thread on this. Outside of the usual fanboys saying their versoin is better here is the general consensus I have picked up:
1. Both versions are very close overall.
2. Xbox One's colors "pop" slightly more.
3. PS4 has a more stable framerate.
Based on this I am going PS4. One cool feature I will miss though from playing the trial on Xbox One is that when a QB tries to draw you offsides (this actually happens a lot this year!) the rumble triggers on the Xbox One vibrate which won't be in the PS4 version.

Jesus Gaf you are amazing! I'll get on training, I won't get any time in today alone, but I'll get some in tomorrow while she's at work!
Seahawks D is unreal. Playing on PS4.
Played my first match last night on All-pro and allowed a total of 41 yards in the entire game with 2 int's and 7 sacks. Won 14-0 vs the Panthers.
Training mini games are actually pretty fun to, really enjoyed playing the gauntlet for a bit last night.
Nice visual upgrade but the physics are pretty wonky still. I think this is a pretty good game, looking forward to spending a bit more time with it in the coming days. (it may get shelved for a few days with the NHL 15 demo and Metro Redux releasing today)

What's with the graphics in this game? This isn't the the best looking sports game I've seen on next gen. Still reminds me of PS2 graphics in HD.

Something must be wrong with your settings or eyes. This looks slightly worse then nba 2k and mlb the show. Best looking madden we've had for sure.
I don't even know how to respond to this...

There are a few madden sites that offer really good leagues. I myself wanted to set one up on here as well but am not sure if I would get a big enough turnout to get it going. I'm doing one with one of the other Madden sites as we speak though.
There's a small chance I might run a secondary fantasy drafted one. But I typically wait until a few weeks into the regular one to see if I'm getting my fix enough.

I really want to get this, but every black friday, the game basically goes on sale for $25.
Do I really want to wait it out, or pay the $60 now.

If I pick up a Maddenstation 4 in the near future, I'd be interested in joining one. I did enjoy my time when I was playing in a league on Madden 08 for PC recently. My issue is that I don't really want to bother with the "league" stuff, I just like playing the scheduled games!

And why would I want them?
Damn I suck at this game but fuck is it pretty lol! I need to stop trying to go deep all the fuckin time. Really loving this though.
Yeah, I'm not great at Madden but running the ball and short, quick passes are the key to madden.
When all else fails, audible quick slants is good for 8-12 yards almost every time!

Would anyone be interesting in joining a casual sim league if I set one up. I'd make the advances twice a week. Nothing serious just a stress free league for people to play casually.

I thought briefly about starting a 'B' league to the current PS4 league, maybe even running simultaneously and seeing if they would do a champ vs champ final. There's probably enough people for a decent league if the people who are on the other leagues waiting list are interested. I didn't pursue it though as I don't really have any experience with running a league...
Make it happen and I'm in. If you're interested in help let me know...also I'm assuming this is PS4?

Try the Gauntlet out and the skills trainer as well. It'll teach you a lot of football concepts and how to make reads as well as how to play certain scenarios. It's a HUGE help.
Picked mine up from Gamestop and noticed no pre order code on my receipt, apparently if u get the ultimate edition u do not get the pre order bonus packs which is complete crap. He called another store for me and got a code, he said he hoped it was for the Xbox One and to let me know if it didnt work, I wont know until I get home tonight from work.

Right on dudes thanks for the tips! I went straight into connected franchise and didn't do any tutorials or anything so I'm winging it based on my past madden experiences and the shit is tough lol!

Yes it would be PS4 and sure if you wanna help that'll be great. I have no probs setting one up but I would most likely get it up after the first roster update which should be by the weekend.
I am a yearly Madden player and the only thing I kind of love/hate is the player ratings REALLY matter this year. In previous years I would use my Raiders and yeah you could tell they weren't rated high but if you were good enough at the game you could over come this. I would routinely be able to hang with and regularly beat very good sim players that used the top teams in the game.
This year not so much. It can be quite frustrating to make the perfect read on defense, have your QB not being pressured, throw it to an open guy, and your QB (SHAUB...sigh) throw it short, or worse yet overshow the receiver by 10 yards and right into the saftey's hands. I played a regular season game during the trial against Houston in Oakland and I lost 7-3 and their only score was a pick 6, one of 4 int's I threw to open guys.
I will say though I am loving Oakland's D this year and in Madden.
Also if we have a GAF league I would be interested if I could have the Raiders.

Nice, if you have time to do the training do the Training Camp -> Concepts. It's one of the best training sessions that Madden has ever put together. It assumes that you have an adequate knowledge of how to play the game and basically teaches you what to look for when you're on offense against the most common, standard defenses, and how to find holes in them.

trust me once you get a feel for the game through the Skills Trainer you'll be moving the ball well and playing to a style of your liking. It doesn't help though that this years Madden actually puts a heavy focus on Defense so it's going to be a little bit harder for people to rack up arcade style numbers.

I'm kind of interested in getting into MUT... it's something that I've never really played. What do you usually do, build a team and play competitively online against other players or do the single player challenges? Do you try to build up the "binders" or "collections" or just focus on making your starting line up the best?
Also, can you build a powerful team without spending money... Or is it basically, if you spend $20 on MUT then you're going to be a powerhouse, versus spending 1,000 hours and only being average?

That skills trainer is the best thing to happen to Madden in a long time.
I have been playing Madden for years and never bothered to learn to look for certain defensive sets, etc.
I only wish it would go one step further and let you play an entire game with a virtual coach stopping the action and showing you what is going on, etc.
Picked up the Xbox One version.
EA Access is really paying off. It was so nice to be able to play the full game early.

I went back to gamestop today and they told me the ultimate edition packs were part of the bonus. I asked what about the stadium and the lady says "um what stadium lol?". I was nice and told her not to worry about it since I was really only wanting the packs. She went ahead and printed a code out for me. Hope best buy gives it to you otherwise the ultimate edition is a fleece.

I really did like how it started right after I out the disc in. Was worried I may have to do another install.

No joke. I can now read what's Cover 1, what's Cover 2, etc. I know this will also make me a much better fan. I wish I would have been able to do this 10 years ago before I had seasons tickets for a few years lol.

I think it looks way better than The Show and probably 95% as good as 2K.

I just picked mine up and I got a preorder code printed on the receipt as well as emailed to me for $15 worth of packs. I also have a separate code in the box for the ultimate edition stuff. This was from Best Buy.

See my post above. I got my preorder packs and Ultimate Edition content form Best Buy in the from of 2 different codes.

I accidentally stumbled on it while looking to see if there were any new demos under the 'This Week' category
