Re: Madden NFL 25 Video - MNF Simulation: Colts vs. Chargers (Xbox One)

Its a shame that the litle things like some of the examples you stated become so big becuase we are not seeing it in Madden at all. Theres a smoothness to the all pro game that Madden hasnt even come close to. I just wonder is it a matter of not knowing how to do what 2k did years ago or just being to stuburn to follow the competions blueprint.

it really is a shame. Like look at the tight end in that clip cut across the middle. There isn't one animation in any madden game that comes close to looking that real. Also from the broadcast angle the field/sidelines and players just look right. The ratios and proportions seem right. When I look at madden they just look like giant pillsbury dough boys running on neon yellow grass.

LOL, I'm thinking a bit more extreme. I'm thinking I paid for money to go to the Jay Z concert but Jay Z never shows up and Little Wayne is the headline WTF??? Let me check my ticket again.

Forget lil Wayne...Its more like they switched in WAYNE BRADY

To make things even more confusing watch EA release a video in the next few days on their "True Step technology"...and that stuff will look different than all the other stuff they have shown...I think people just want to know the truth. All these videos next gen, current gen...EA has to have the worst marketing personnel who have not one clue what it takes to get a positive buzz going on about their game.

All I can do is laugh at this point. I don't even think the $10 upgrade is worth it at this point.

I echo the dominant sentiment. I could live with a minor superficial upgrade in visual quality if the game animated and played much better. The leap I wanted to see in under the hood tech for Madden this gen just isn't apparent to me in what I've seen so far. I can't conclude anything, but I have no interest in the game appearing in these MNF clips.

It's even worse for me because I'm going to go from a 360 a PS4, so no upgrade deal for me.

Considering the fact I only play sports games, football and basketball, I must admit I'm a little disgusted by what I'm seeing. Although I enjoy Madden 25, I was expecting more. I'm sure the devs work hard at what they do, but with this being a new generation it would be nice to get a different football experience. I'll still buy it and enjoy it, I hope, but I'm expecting more, a lot more.

Let's just be honest gentlemen, they can't do it. If they could they would. There ideal of improvements are yearly graphical improvements. That's all they can do. ( LOOK AT THE GRASS). Truth be known, the E3 videos are probably where they want to have us 5 years down the road. They hire former athletes to say their gonna help with the development and we continue to get handed the same junk over and over and over. You guys know more about this than me but I don't think 2K had to hire former athletes to help them make a good game or to try to promote sales. They just loved the sport and wanted it to be "Football".

Maybe EA should spend more time trying to hire the 2K developers.

The worst?

Their marketing is fantastic. Look at their product placement. The name is everywhere.

Radio shows, TV shows, live football games....Everyone talks about the game.

No, their marketing plan has been the most successful thing about the game.



People who actually know football see past the marketing scheme but the "Madden fans" (the vast majority of their fanbase) don't care about how football plays out.

Look at the sales of this game, if it weren't for marketing, this game would have died out years ago.

Re: NEW Xbox One Gameplay Video (ESPN)

Also the same animations are in the game

LOL

Re: NEW Xbox One Gameplay Video (ESPN)

It's a real shame that we are comparing next-gen Madden with a six year old game, but they were doing things that Madden still can't...

After seeing the last couple of videos from EA, I don't expect next-gen Madden sidelines to look nearly as good at this.

Hey is that sideline stuff new technology for the Next Gen consoles?? That has to be cuz its never been seen in Madden before?? Oh wait sorry that stuff was done years ago by another company with old gen consoles! smdh...

You know what can anyone tell me who the developers where for 2K sports?? I gotta know, those dudes must have been geniuses! How did they do that kind of stuff so long ago???

agreed. If they worried more about the game than about madden launch parties.. or madden pro/am celebrity bowls... or commercials with actors being paid to say they love the game...etc. The game would be much better. And even then who knows. 2k5 had some clever marketing, but it didn't affect the product. and it was STILL $20. I just don't understand. It just comes down to lack of talent. Tiburon just doesn't have it.

I don't even think THEY have any idea. I have never seen a game company one month before launch release marketing item after marketing item only to yank it back, delete it or pull it completely. They have now pulled two gameplay videos and countless screenshots off their website. How much confidence do you really have in a company that releases something thinking it honestly looks good and they are proud of it only to have immediate public reaction be so bad they feel the need to delete the material entirely?

I agree. None of this makes sense.

Maybe EA should spend more time trying to hire the 2K developers.

Even if they hired everyone of those guys the game would stay the same. I'm gonna repeat this again. Madden Football is the McDonalds of videogames...They are reliable, people love the fries, they sell over 2 billion every year (exaggeration) and they put very little resources into the product. Madden is EA's cash cow...The McDonalds marketing strategy is working like a charm because while its not the best burger and fry combo it is the most well known and its reliable. From a marketing standpoint they have to be saying...Why would we change?...Particularly when we are the only game in town?...I think its a long term death sentence but as long as they retain NFL rights to the game their strategy is bullet proof.

The Madden name alone sells...meanwhile they are allowing EA Canada to do all the real innovation in Hockey and Soccer which are games that they are really trying to corner the market in. meanwhile madden still rakes in the cash. At the very least I'd like to see them get rid of Tiburon and give the game to EA Canada.

Those VC 2K guys wouldn't last one year on the game because EA would not spend the resources or give them the time to make a product that is different from standard Madden. They would quit...Why do you think we see so much turnover in producers of Madden?...being handcuffed into making a sub par game is not something those guys sign on for...after a year or two they realize there is no chance their ideas will be implemented so they bounce.
