Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

Is this game worth getting?

I got frustrated with the PS3 version because I hate the fact that it needs all this fine tuning with the sliders.
Is the running game still over powered?

I'd just love it if it was more like NBA2K, ready out of the box.

Thanks for any advice

If you didn't have ps3 and you had to have a football game, I'd say yes. But... No.

JP is right, all of your impressions help us gather the feedback to deliver the game that you want and deserve.

I just wanted to say Thanks for Madden 25 Next-Gen and I hope and pray that we who Love and Respect Real Football will get a Real Simulation Football game.


We trust you and believe that the Years of Emptiness have Finally come to an End.

I did not waste One Penny on Madden for 7 years--Until November 15th, 2013.


I firmly believe Millions want a Real NFL gameplay experience.


Game is decent and it would be awesome if Madden 2015 would be Outstanding.


Thanks.

Please speak for yourself, man. I don't trust them at all, frankly. That trust was killed over the last 9 years. It's going to take more than one good effort to get that back. Make a great game. Not a good game. A GREAT game, first. I'm not from Missouri, but you're going to have to show me first before I trust them.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

Well after a full month of playing Madden on PS4 for many hours over the past month. This is the first time where i am still playing the game just as much as i normally do the first week i buy madden. I am truly having a fun time playing this game. Oh and running the ball is soooo much better now with true step. I had to give it some time to get down the "new" learning curve with running the ball but MAN once i got it down...it is a BLAST to run the ball. After tweaking the sound sliders..i have on-field SFX turned up and the rest of the sound sliders turned down...man that made things feel even better as little as that seems.

I am having a lot of fun exciting games..especially after tweaking the sliders a bit for my own personal preference. I never go by other peoples sliders because that kind of thing is more suited as personal preference but other all the game is SOLID this year on next gen, to my surprise.

All these next gen games that came out on the launch of these new systems are HONESTLY "CROSS-GEN" games...what we have here is not even near what the PS4 and X1 can do...so this is a good thing imho. There is much MUCH more work needed though..and now there is no more excuses about hardware limitations. I hope Tiburon really has not shown what it can do visually with Madden. I HOPE we see some major improvements with the graphics come August 2014. And of course AI Logic/gameplay/animations,presentations,etc

A some core things to immediately come to mind that need major work still..

1. Player models need a total revamp. These are clearly last gen player models being reused and only enhanced. Tiburon..you guys need to make a change with player models..just get something new that feels fresh..do NOT do this to us. Player models just seem so last gen because THEY ARE! This is 2013

2. Animations need a lot of work...during gameplay, after the whistle,etc when a play is over they need to work on these robotic swivel animations after a play is over. They need to work on the animations when a player crosses the goal line and goes into its TD celebration..there is a slight 2 second pause after the player crosses the goal line then pauses *player stands still* then goes into his TD celebration..this is such a small thing that sticks out sooooo ugly!

3. A pre-game, half time, post game, mid week show would be HUGE if done right.

4. Many more inbetween,pre/after play cut-scenes. I like the cutscenes in madden right now but each year these must be renewed and added with many more until there is so many that it never gets old. Tiburon is headed in the right direction but much more is needed.

5. Commentary needs a lot more dialog added..not bad right now but more work is needed.

6. Last but not least...AI Logic - Obviously there is much more work needed but with these new powerful consoles..i am expecting a new level of AI Logic to be implemented.. Tiburon you guys GOT a good thing going finally ..do NOT blow it.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

i could say a lot of good things about this game as well as bad.
the running game and game play in general is the best they have done yet.

graphically madden 2012 is better than next gen the problem with this game
that i have seen and trust me i have tinkered with color on all 3 of my tvs
i have a samsung 8000 series and samsung 7000 series and samsung 6000 series
i have played it on all three televisions and found the best thing you can do is turn down your backlight and contrast once you do then you will see more of the shaders they are trying to use in this game.

Image quality is still a little blurry no mater what, because the drawing distance they use is a little off or out of focus
example you will notice it on players faces on sideline when there tape they are wearing on face disappears and re appears as the camera pans in and out. also the color white that is rendered in the game is so bright, no matter what i did i could not make the white color on uniforms softer to ease the eye strain it causes hard to read players names on the back cause the color white in the game is so off or too vibrant.

a lot of the new cyber scans of players look funny or nothing like the real player. the cut scenes they use or system to show players on sidelines needs to be changed i seen one of calvin johnson looking shorter than his coach. they do not represent true players heights. i guess the most important thing to ea when doing these is for you to see the players faces rather than how they would look in real life next to each other.

the sounds on field and stadium are amazing one of the best parts of the game and the anouncers are the best yet of any madden game.

this version does not show exterior views of the stadiums i was really sad to see they omitted this instead you get to see interior pans of cameras in the stadium most times the camera angle they use do not work to bring anything to the table. a waiste of time if you ask me.

the replays or cut scenes of big plays is slightly higher angle than madden 25 xbox 360 you can not see there faces as well as you can in madden 25 old gen i guess they did not want you to see the crappy faces they made for next gen.
you do not have to have a gold account to get roster updates or user made files i found this to be an amazing thing to do but it will change next year once more people have bought the system.

CPU A.I is amazing and you will have many challenges you will not win every game and the cpu can run the ball. i did not see the chain gang so i am assuming it is not there. the game also has some zoom ins of coaches after big plays. that had josh looman written all over it nice touch.
field degradation is ok but not what i would expect from next gen.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

Got lucky and found a ps4 on the way home in a little small town walmart today and decided to pick up madden with it. I had madden 25 for 360 and traded it for nba 2k14 when that game came out and just wanted to give it a try on the next gen.

I gotta say after one game I'm really impressed. As I've seen with many posts visually it's not much. The graphics leave a ton to be desired, BUT gameplay wise!

I played the Colts (me) vs. Buffalo. They ran effectively and Manuel got hot after getting picked early. During the game I noticed so many differences. You actually need to run in control on D and O to make plays. Sprint is no longer all you need it felt like. Seeing little things like chip blocks and double team blocking makes it feel like a new game. Because of the graphics I won't say bravo EA, but they made a football game that gameplay people will be very happy about.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

Well after a month of online playing I am sick and tired of it already, its nothing but a cheat fest now. From shake glitching, to one defense rules them all and shuts down all offensive plays no matter the personnel.

I really cant wait for my online leagues to start, it was quit fun while it lasted but something changed over the last week and running the ball is the easiest thing to do from offtackle now. I know im not the only one seeing this but man what a shame it was. Its very irritating to see people go thru such measures to win and then boast amd brag about it as if they are freaking good.

I played a guy who used cam newton and nust dropped back 20yds and or ran to the sidelines and threw cros his shoulders to wide open players. This was not the case the first few weeks and now all of a sudden its back to ps360 levels of gameplay.

Unfortunately off-tackle running is just as easy in online CFM. Not sure what happened here but the off-tackle running is getting ridiculous. Anybody can spam it

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

Decent game, I'm kind of regretting the purchase. The graphics really are underwhelming....

Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

I must still suck then,because I still can't run the ball with any kind of effectiveness.

I do believe you guys,it's just for some reason it's taking me awhile to adjust to the game.

I do enjoy the game,much more than current gen Madden though.I've just about got my sliders set,and then it's off to start a franchise.
