Just played another game Seahawks(Me) vs Packers, All-Pro default sliders won the game 15-12 on a 13 yard TD catch by Marshawn Lynch who exploded between two defenders at the two and into the endzone. Just a great football play, made me smile LOL.

just watched the "features" video on the madden 25 demo and man they BUTCHERED the jags new helmets. I took a picture of what I could and its not very good but all you have to do is watch for yourself. they made the jags helmets bright yellow and in no way does it resemble the gold color they actually are. get ready for jags fan, few as they may be, to have a baby. lol so bad

Lol..... Just kept the ball for the entire first half dunking and dunking.

Played with sliders the next game and won 6-3.... Sliders might just work...UF they don't ship broken that is.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360, PS3)

another impression from me is choosing Danielle Bellini may be the most curious decision made in a long time. I don't know who she is but I would imagine she came cheaper than say a Michelle Tafoya or Suzy Kolber or Andrea Kramer or Alex Flanagan. so if that's the case have her record a huge library of things to say. her lines are as generic as generic can get. Does she have any affiliation with the NFL what so ever besides NOW being the sideline reporter for madden 25. I would have rather seen some relevant issue fixed or added instead of a bogus sideline reporter that has NEVER done a sideline interview in her career. I may be wrong that she hasn't but it definitely wasn't on any sideline of a game I watched and ive watched my fair share of NCAA and NFL football.


come on NOVEMBER ..just exited the demo, cant take that camera for one more play

This article says she recorded more than 100 hours of lines. That's even 20 more hours than Nantz and Simms last year. Anyway, that seems far fetched, but here is a bio about her. She's a up and coming reporter I guess.

well jp maybe in the retail copy her lines have some substance but from what ive heard so far in the demo and online in videos theres not much there. not a huge deal to me just kind of puzzling. IMO either do it right and get an actual sideline guy/girl or just leave it alone and put forth some money and time elsewhere.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360, PS3)

does everyone think there should be different camera angles, ability to go wide, zoom or what have you in the final game? I have an 83 inch TV, so my complaint isn't valid. I'm fine with the view actually. I could see it a problem on a smaller TV Though.

Invisible players

I passed on Madden 13. I have pre-ordered this so that I could get the NFL Ticket Package from Amazon. If not for the deal I probably would have skipped this game all together. Played on All-Pro. Plays arcadish to me. When I drop back with any QB they move way too fast. No D Rush in the 4-3 without slider help. Rodgers sat in the pocket for about 8 secs before he threw it under no pressure. I have no time to set my D after the play is picked. Graphics look nice. HATE THE CAMERA ANGLE. I would say this game is worth $30 or maybe $40 at most.

Liking this demo and I have traded in Madden the last 3 years. Sliders make Madden more fun than NCAA because finding the sweet spot on things is easier. Full control of teams and running QB's playing like that have me pumped. Playing against 49ers really makes you spy the QB or else.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360, PS3)

Re: Madden NFL 25 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360, PS3)

Just played the SEA at Cheeseheads matchup, w/ me being SEA, and won 16-7. Game was actually really enjoyable, though before I get into an impression, I want to list slight slider changes I made:

QBA at 15, Pass reaction time and coverage to 55, and user RBLK to 35. I also had the speed threshold at 40, and played on All-Pro.

Generally, I think it played like a cleaned up version of NCAA 14. Wasn't too overpowering in the trenches, and while pass coverage needs work, it seems like sliders are stronger than in NCAA - I think the reaction time slider will be key. My biggest issues are with the D Line. To me they simply do not penetrate consistently or get enough push at the point of attack, an I think that generally makes the run game more successful, though it seems worse in NCAA.

A. Rogers: 19-30, 223 yds, TD, 3 INTs
Wilson: 9-13, 51 yds, INT

Rogers did what many would expect overall, especially given Seattle's talented secondary. Two of his INTs should not have been thrown by a QB of his caliber, but I'm thinking it comes w/ AP difficulty. Jordy Nelson and James Jones both had 5 rec, with Jones scoring. I basically turned Russ into a game manager lol.

Lynch: 19 car, 102 yds; Turbin: 3 car, 24 yds, TD
Lacy: 8 car, 36 yds.

About what I expected, though running for me wasn't TOO difficult. The long haired dude did blow up a read option single-handedly though.

Defense: GB - 2 sacks, INT; SEA - 3 sacks, 2 INTs.

GBs O- Line is suspect, so it was nice to see both Avril (sack) and RE Bennett (2 sacks) get pressure as I didn't blitz much, if at all. (A good test would be to sub out Bulaga for Bahktiari since he's out for the year.) The long haired one wrecked havoc in the backfield, getting 3 TFL (also injured Lynch late on a big hit - abdominal strain lol). GB isn't physical at all so I expected run game success, but Tramon Williams made a Nice Int in the end zone.

OVERALL, so far I'd give this an 8. The commentary really is holding the game back, and coupled with smaller issues, keeps it from taking the next step. Commentary is not nearly as bad as the NCAA (feels like you're in a lecture hall listening to Kirks lines) but there still dead spots in between and during plays, and somewhat of a blandness to it. The replays are MUCH improved, almost to a broadcast feel. All that being said, it's disappointing this effort comes this late in the current-gen, but its a good solid game (and I'd definitely trade-in NCAA for it).
