Madden NFL 15 dev team trolls incoming rookie class

Read our full Madden NFL 15 review.

Freshly drafted NFL rookies must feel like they’re on top of the world. Living the dream! Going to Disneyland! After years of training, hard work, and toughing it out in the brutal college football arena, then biting fingernails down to nubs as pro teams make their selections during the draft, being one of the handful picked must be pretty darn special.

That’s why EA Tiburon is here to remind them all that the tremendous achievement of landing on an NFL team really just turns them into smaller fish in a bigger pond.

This newly released Madden NFL 15 video features no gameplay. It’s a series of talking head clips with some of the 2014 season’s marquee rookies. Watch as they predict what their virtual player stats will be in the upcoming game, then see those hopes dashed as they learn the reality of how they’ve been rated by EA Tiburon’s so-called “ratings czar,” Donny Moore.

It’s funny stuff, and a good way for football fans to pass the time as the countdown to Madden NFL 15‘s August 26 release — not to mention the start of the 2014 NFL season — continues.

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6.

As per EA, the game focuses on full NFL seasons, franchise management, and 11-on-11 matches. Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match.

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

GameNative is making it much easier for Android players to commit one of PC gaming’s oldest crimes against storage space. Its v1.1.1 pre-release adds Nexus Mods integration, cutting out much of the file shuffling usually required to get PC game mods running on a phone.

According to GameNative’s official release notes, users can sign in to a Nexus account and download mods through the app. Downloads can be paused and resumed too, so losing your connection shouldn’t force you back to the beginning.
