Madden Fut 15 Coins is another entry in what’s become one of the world’s most popular sport’s games. Second perhaps only to FIFA, this franchise has a strong, established fanbase and commands spectacular brand recognition. It’s a winning formula for EA Sports, and it’s a series that I’ve been a part of more often than not.

When a new Madden comes out, I wind up playing it. If I’m not reviewing the game, the itch comes on about halfway through the football season, and I head out to pick it up. Now, in my mind, there are different types ofMadden players. There are those who dabble into each mode lightly while focusing on bringing one franchise to one Super Bowl before moving on, and then there are those who hit the nitty gritty of team management exceptionally hard.

I’m a mix of both. While you won’t find me aiming for year 10 of my franchise, you will see me in between games focusing on development and team strength. In this year’s entry, all of that stuff feels a little more compact and fluid. In Connected Careers (yes, that’s back), depending on if you play your franchise as a coach, player or owner, you’ll be able to dictate whether your players earn experience or confidence before games.

Selecting one or the other eats into the amount of prep time you have for each game. Confidence rewards you in the short term, getting a slightly more dynamic effort from players on the field for that next week. Experience, though, leads towards longer term rewards that those folks aiming for 10 years of franchise mode should desire. This mechanic presents a bit of risk to working with players. If you’re up against the best team in the league as one of the worst, do you waste your time on confidence or ante up the experience.

That level of depth applies to each of the game’s modes, a bag that looks incredibly similar if not identical to FIFA 15 PS4 Coins . Madden Ultimate Team returns, of course, and Connected Careers brings each element online if you choose. For your information, I wasn’t able to get online for a full league during the review period, no one has the game.
