Madden NFL 25 Next Gen Video - IGNITE Technology & Next-Gen Visuals (QJB)

[tfer717]

There's no point anymore. The game is a joke and will remain a joke. No offense to anyone who can enjoy the game.. But it is made for people with simple minds. It's a child's game. After watching that video, there is no way EA is serious about creating a sim game. Do they not see how other sports games market their products?

Look on facebook.. look at the comments for their game
"oh man da people saying madden is garbage prolly jus suck at madden. 2k always sucked..." yada yada. they have their market to sell to. The NFL doesn't care what market buys it. Just that SOMEONE buys it. Lets all appreciate that the nba and mlb have realistic representations of their own sports and move on. This will never change. It feels like 2006 all over again except this time there are more game modes for the gameplay to look terrible in.

Rex is a former college defensive lineman, Cam Weber was a QB and Clint Oldenburg is a former NFL offensive lineman. I think these guys know what football is about. They're trying to make a game based off of real football. What they're doing or trying to do has never been done before to the level they're wanting. We've never had former football guys be the leadership team for a football video game like this. These guys know football they don't have to know about Superstar or my player, they know the X's and O's of the game of football.

LOL, we have had 9 years of misery with this game, we are far from spoiled. Spoiled would be trashing NBA 2K or an MLB The Show game for one of the flaws in the game. Big difference.

I'm largely happy with those games, so I don't complain about them because it's obvious those devs are trying AND are talented and show pride in the product. This situation is totally different, totally, entirely, different.

The best you can muster is it doesn't look that bad??

We're spoiled brats complaining about the quality of a game that by your own admission "doesn't look that bad"? Not much of a defense. I guess after 9 years on a desert island Rosie O'Donnell wouldn't look that bad either.

Nothing personal friend, if you like the game good for you. The game gets more grief here because it's more of a hardcore sim crowd. Most Madden videos on YouTube have a very high thumbs up ratio, it's popular with a certain crowd. Just not as popular here.

Comments like this are beyond me. You have no idea where this game is headed and to a degree neither do I, but you can't sit here and say its a joke and always will be. The negativity of the Madden threads lately is sickening.

I swear EA are the masters of the bait and switch. Where are those animations from the E3 trailer?

Maddens problem with game play is that it just isn't organic at all. The whole allure of football and sports in general is that any moment can be a wow moment. In madden you know what animations will play out and what the out come of the play will be soon after the ball is snapped. Everything about madden madden from the marketing down to the gameplay is to scripted.

And what did I say when Clint Oldenburg was hired? It doesn't matter unless he is CODING THE GAME.

You know who has been working on the game for a long time? A guy called JOHN MADDEN!! Guy knows his football too. Forgot more about X's and O's than we will ever know. You're trying way, way, way, way, way, too hard.
