EA has outed the familiar release date of August 29 for Madden NFL 15. The US gets it a few days earlier on August 26.

Madden NFL 15 will release this year for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.

With this years game EA Sports are promising to up the defensive side of things, claiming Madden 15 will offer “the most immersive defensive gameplay control in franchise history.

“Like the Super Bowl XLVIII champion Seattle Seahawks, you can win championships and bask in the glory of success by building a great defense fit to challenge the best offenses in the game,” says EA.

The game will also feature an entirely new broadcast presentation, with all-new camera angles as well as dynamic pre-game and halftime features.

EA is once again collaborating with ESPN to give fans the opportunity to select which player will grace the cover of Madden NFL 15.
