Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

I bought my ps4 today. Picked up nba 2k14 and bf4 almost passed on madden after reading some reviews on here. I will tell you what

I'm glad I did not pass on it. Game is very crisp play actions looks amazing. The fields alot of the texture is nice. I will say this is prob the first madden I have been happy with since 2004/2005 and that is saying something.

I started a quick game with the browns vs the broncos I chose the browns. I litterattly had to punt my first four times due to no pocket and just the broncos d line bullying my o line. It just felt like a new crisper game.

I'm so glad I deciided to ignore some post on here and try it for myself

I'm having problems with the CPU dropping the ball on all-pro with their slider at 60. Any fix for this? Stafford was like 5-30 100yds 15 drops.

P.S using my sliders from old gen that worked great

What is the CPU accuracy?

On the PS3 version, I noticed that sometimes the player skill sliders would automatically and randomly reset to 75 across the board, regardless of what I had the difficulty set at. Now it's doing the same thing on the PS4 version. How do I get the sliders to stick?

I'm guessing this for play now? If so this what you have to do, I got this from Charter04's slider thread:

What u do is load my sliders, than change your game setting to all madden. This will reset the sliders to all madden. Then load my player and CPU sliders again. When you go back to settings it will still say all madden but my sliders stay with my adjusted settings.
-If you don't do this you will be using custom and it will actually be All-Pro. You can tell by the kicking meter. The really fast one is the one for All-Madden

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

I hope I can ask this as I don't have the game, but how are simulated CC stats compared to played games? Are tackles and assisted tackles recorded? Pancake blocks? Broken tackles?

What about the IR...does it free up a roster spot?

How is the off-season in general?

I'm hearing it's a much better game, but I'm a franchise mode guy looking for a good sim that holds up.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

This may have been mentioned, but how is the "robo QB" in this version? It seemed to still be prevalent in CG. This is one of my biggest issues and would keep me from picking up the NG version.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

Momentum is frustrating but I think realistic compared to old gen. I can catch and turn up field with EASE on 360 but catching a ball and trying to cut right away is impossible on PS4. Probably a good thing. Pass coverage is improved imo and getting actual cover sacks. Usually QB's can be robo cop in the pocket for 10min and never get sacked on old gen.

Madden 25 on PS4 plays a great game of football. I love the game. It looks better than ever and have no complaints because the game does what it is supposed to do. It is lots of fun. Yes I could pick on things like I wish it had madden IQ which I loved but I tell people to get this game.

This may be more of a PS4 comment then Madden, but I can't believe I am playing NG Madden on my PS Vita while getting my car serviced 45 miles from my house. Remote play is really amazing. No stuttering or lag either.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

Thoughts after 1st game-

You can definitely feel a difference when running the ball which is nice, my only gripe is that it seems like the weight/momentum may have been over done for the smaller more agile RB's like Sproles.

Calling blitzes against the computer actually seem to be effective and actually result in sacks/pressure.

Graphically the game looks better with the "zoom" gameplay camera.

The faster receivers do seem to get better separation on the deep ball.

On all Madden I was able to force Turnovers by using the hitstick.

Pocket forms and the battles between the line's look pretty good. The linemen appear to try and double team players.

Con's:

I am not seeing the graphical detail of the players when zoomed in- in comparison to what was shown in the EA videos.

Players seem to change skin color randomly. Julio Jones was a straight up white guy on a couple plays.

This may have to do with the weight/momentum they have implemented, when I've thrown the deep ball and the WR has the CB beat outright over the top, the WR seems t unable to maintain that momentum after the catch and it results in a CB catching up to him and making a tackle.

CCM is untouched.

The crowd and sidelines are improved but not nearly enough to even get mentioned.

There was a cut scene where Brees and Graham walked off the field towards the crowd after a play for some unknown reason?

From the user side there is still not WR/CB interaction on 50/50 balls where bigger guys like Jimmy Graham would simply out leap the defender.

My god...you just convinced me to buy a PS Vita. For some reason i only thought that feature worked if you were in your home.

Nope, apparently it works wherever you have a good wi-fi connection! The controls are mapped a little differently for the vita, but once you get used to it, it works great. Also, if you lose your connection, the game just pauses like the controller was disconnected and then you log back in and can start from where you were. Main reason why I chose PS4 over XBONE and so far so good!

It will work from any wi-fi network, but Sony will not guarantee a good experience from any other network but the same one that the PS4 is on. In other words, your mileage may vary.

I don't think the game is with $60 bucks but definitely worth the $10 upgrade.
