Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

So its seems that the overtime rules are not working during Play Now games.

I just had the CPU kick a field goal on the first possession of overtime and the game ended right there with the CPU winning.

I should have had a chance to match their FG or win with a touchdown. But I never got a possession like I should have.

Another missing rule I noticed is that you don't get the opportunity for a free kick after making a fair catch on a kick return during the final play of the half. I fair caught a ball around the 50 yard line hoping to take a free kick after time expired, but the game just went straight to the half time cinematic.

Also:

Did the "missing sliders" from M25 return or are they still M.I.A?

Continued thanks...

What are those? I can look if you want, but not totally sure what you're talking about.

I could be wrong but I think he is asking about the sliders they took like block shedding for run defense, and I could still be wrong but I am almost positive the sliders available are the same as on CG M25...

Someone correct me though if I don't have it right

For M25 (current gen) they took "run defense" and "run reaction" out and now only have "tackling" for run defense and they used to be a third running slider to go along with the current "fumbles" and "run blocking" on offense...

THANKS!

Also:

Are Auto Subs working and are Formation Subs for O / D / ST back?

Yeah,for sliders it is the same on NG as it is on CG. I am having a little trouble getting the CPU to stop the run just like I did on CG....still trying though....

Same sliders. Haven't really played with Auto Subs, but I will this afternoon. Formation subs appear to be same as CG, where you have to do them within the formation in the playcalling screen.

UGH, but THANKS for the confirmation...

Reducing Holding (strength / duration of blocks) MAY help...

I'm using 40 (current gen) and that's about as high as that can go...

There's currently 3 sliders for passing and pass defense, but in the run game it's 2 (O sliders) to 1 (D sliders)...

Which makes ZERO sense...

I will say this, I find the interior run game to be far more balanced in the NG version than CG in the games I have played. I think the ability to hold blocks on the edge is a little overdone so it's a little to easy to bounce outside a little too often than it should be.

Bear in mind, I've played a total of like 4 games.

Each team seems to represent their real life play style.

Just wondering if the score ticker for other games is missing or is it supposed to be there and it's a known bug?

I don't think that was implemented. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure CG didn't have this feature as well.

Lets hope for the next NG version(M15) they will revamp the presentation and include this as well as highlights of other games in you're CCM franchise.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

I would love to see some impressions from people that have played a lot of games online. How does the game play when playing people ?

Can people roll out and sit for more than 6 seconds waiting for the coverage to break down and no linemen being able to break free to chase down the QB ?

Are people able to rocket catch/run your defender away from the WR then swerve back to catch the ball ?

Basicly is all the non-sense from CG been addressed of delt with in some way ?

I've played around 15 games online. I usually rush at least 4 every down. It's dependent on your Dline, but I've only seen about 4 plays where a Qb sat in the pocket or scrambled and had 6 seconds comfortably to throw the ball. Usually if the Qb leaves the pocket he's running for his life.

I haven't seen anyone run my DBs away from the ball. As far as rocket catching I did play against the Bears and Marshall and Jeffries(CPU) were out jumping my CBss.

Putting safeties over the top solved that problem.
