EA Sports has posted the release schedule for the Madden NFL 25 feature playbooks.

SportsNation will reveal the Madden NFL 25 cover athlete, as well as an exclusive video of the Run Free feature Wednesday, April 24th at 8:00 PM EST, on ESPN2.

Run Free - April 24
Infinity Engine 2 - April 24
Connected Franchise Part 1 - May 6
Connected Franchise Part 2 - May 20
Madden Share - June 24
Madden Ultimate Team - July 1
All-Madden Team - July 8

It's nice to see how blogs dedicated to Connected Franchise, which we are assuming is the sequel to Connected Careers last season. The first two blogs seem like NCAA might have already covered them somewhat, and Madden share is a big mystery.

What intrigues you the most about the list?

Seems like some runners are even more hunched over than before. SMH.

RG3 running the read-option, looked.....gimmicky? I saw a step back type cut, otherwise saw zero difference from 13. Next-gen better not have a single line of code from this gen, soooooo tired of EA and this B.S. Yeah I know it's early and we haven't seen gameplay, but really, does anybody expect this game to magically jump in one year into the realm of NBA2k and The Show after almost a decade of mediocrity? By the way, this show on ESPN about the cover athlete is laughably bad, Barry Sanders has waaay too much class to be degrading himself on this steaming pile of television dung.

Kind of noticed that too. If they managed to make the running animations even WORSE, I am done.

How can one tell if game play has changed in 30 second trailer?

Funny thing is, Madden isnt even good if you look at it as an arcade game. Arcade games are usually fun, Madden is dull and boring.

Because your above question has been asked every season for the last 8 years, and the answer has been the same every single time.

Well, we're only a few days away from Connected Franchise Part 1 being released. With the first two installments behind us, albeit very limited in actual video/trailer, and what was released arguably raising some concerns, is anyone looking forward to the next installment?With part 1 being about "new and improved", what type of changes do you expect to see? Has the first two installments changed your expectations?

With Run Free and Infinity Engine being less than I had expected, I'm downgrading my expectations for CF part 1. I hope to see a better menu system, hopefully less "clunkiness"/lag time moving around the "home" screen", more information readily available w/o backing in and out of screens, and possibly player position editing (please!).

Plus their were some of the same old jukes from Madden 13 also. From this you can project that legacy issues/bugs will still be in the game because it all starts with the game-play engine, in which they are still using.

I like how you put this. I liken this generation scene to a vehicular homicide that EA could not reverse out of so instead they try to cover up the scene with blankets and body bags and of course, yellow tape.

The damage is done; the engine is still dead: "proceed with caution."
