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

Re: NEW Xbox One Gameplay Video (ESPN)

The best part of the vid was the end where Andrew Luck and the O linemen congratulated eachother. That looked fluid and good. Players move good in cutscenes but during actual gameplay its terrible. The more i see of this game the more disgusted I get. Im so close to cancelling my Amazon pre order but I still have this false since of hope waiting on actual gameplay from the perspective of someone with a controller.

Re: NEW Xbox One Gameplay Video (ESPN)

Never post, but always am reading people's responses. I am so disappointed if this turns out to be what the game looks like. From the E3 gameplay, to this? It looks exactly the same minus a few small details as to the game I bought for my Xbox 360. So confused/disappointed....

Re: NEW Xbox One Gameplay Video (ESPN)

Same horrid/robotic animations....Welp, I guess that's that.

I really don't understand. Why are the QB drop backs generic? They're dropping back as if they're electric football figurines. Don't get me started on the tackling.

I don't see myself purchasing another Madden title until either...

1. The whole team is scrapped and rebuilt with different developers and programmers
2. They re-build the engine and somehow make the game we all want.

I really miss playing an NFL football but I WILL NOT buy this product only because it's the only game out. I am not naive at all.

Re: NEW Xbox One Gameplay Video (ESPN)

I guess it's one of those games you just have to play to get it......

I really don't get it Tiburon. The game looks awful for next gen imo. Where are these uncompressed more fluid animations? Because I don't see them. Lol. Not one throw was even in Rivers sig throwing motion. Not to mention Luck doesn't even have a sig style in the game yet. Then you got Hilton spinning off one defender then back spinning off another, lmao. It's not the fact that it happened I'm questioning. It's how it looked when it happened. Just awful.

Re: NEW Xbox One Gameplay Video (ESPN)

Detail is sharper -grass stains and all- but who cares? Other than that, it's the same old game play and crippled animations we have had to stomach for years.

Throw in the certainty of a myriad of ever present game breaking glitches that will be embedded with the new offering, and what's left?

Enough with the eye candy and useless new gimmicks (coach glass) EA...it is well past time to get down to the real nitty gritty if you want to keep selling football games.

Re: NEW Xbox One Gameplay Video (ESPN)

Everyone complained back in 06 when they gave us a new game with bare bone features, now everyone complains when they give us a full featured game, albeit a port, with minimal upgrades graphically.

What do you guys want them to do???

I think people had WAY too high expectations for next gen Madden and may not understand that the devs don't know the capabilities of these systems yet. First party next gen games are going to be much better graphically at first, they ALWAYS are. After a year or two the games will start to be pushed graphically and we will see much better LOOKING games. In the meantime, focus on the GAMEPLAY, the GAMEPLAY is what matters. To me, the gameplay looks pretty good, not great, but a definite improvement in terms of fluidity in movement and o/d line interactions look much improved. You can't turn a game that people are calling "trash" into "treasure" in one cycle guys. Continued improvement in gameplay and areas that matter is what we are wanting, let's hope it continues and at a faster rate, but at the same time, don't expect so much on the first iteration of a game on a new console.

Can anyone name ONE non first party title on 360 that blew you away graphically when Xbox 360 launched?

Everyone's talking about FIFA, but FIFA was a GREAT game on current gen, Madden wasn't. You have to keep these things in mind guys, it's going to take some time to get Madden on that level that we all want it to. Like I've said I don't expect it to take 5+ years to get there, I expect Madden 15 to be basically what we've been wanting, but how people could expect a port of Madden to compare to a port of FIFA is beyond my comprehension.

I cannot believe you still defend this game to death no matter what. What happens next year when nothing changes? What will you say then?

Here you are back again to defend this crap. Its old and tired. You were the one telling us how awesome next gen Madden was gonna be just a few months ago. The gameplay looks good and fluid ? Just be honest with us, you wanna either A. become part of the game changers program so your sucking up to them OR B. wanna get in at EA.

Re: NEW Xbox One Gameplay Video (ESPN)

Am I the only one who thinks the player models look like those in NFL Fever many moons ago?

Wow! just wow! If you're going to allow gameplay footage to be shown, then why not show it from the perspective the gamers will actually be playing from? I don't get it? This video does nothing but turn me off to the idea of next gen Madden.

Re: NEW Xbox One Gameplay Video (ESPN)

I really hate these zoomed in highlight vids, I need to see how the whole play is developing.

JP i love your passion and optimism. And I actually agree with what your saying. I am one of the few ppl who is looking forward to this game. But stop trying to convince other posters that they will like Madden or to give Madden more time. It doesn't work. Everyone has their opinion/feelings about the game. You can (and have) make the same strong valid points but ppl just aren't feeling it. And that is their opinion, as you have yours. This thread is about the MNF Next gen video that was posted. Not about back in 06 or other first party games etc.

Agreed.

And to be fair to Madden/EA, its hard to form an opinion on gameplay when all we are seeing are basically zoomed in replays of what happened. If you're going to show gameplay then show gameplay, otherwise its nothing more, imo, then a trailer.

Re: NEW Xbox One Gameplay Video (ESPN)

What DO WE WANT THEM TO DO??? WHAT DO WE WANT THEM TO DO JP!!!???

1. Realistic running animations
2. Authentic QB Drop backs
3. True Physics which surpasses Backbreakers (Inferior hardware)
4. Deep penalty system that works
5. Realistic crowd reactions
6. Real time cut scenes
7. Ability to choose d-line coverage
8. Custom camera angle for users to play around with
9. Realistic sidelines that react to on the field action

That's just off the top of my head. How can you continue to dime EA Tiburon out every gameplay video they release? We shouldn't even be comparing previous games on inferior hardware to Madden Next Gen. You say "The gameplay looks good, not great". IT SHOULD LOOK GREAT SINCE THEY'VE BEEN USING THE SAME ENGINE FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS NOW!!!!

JP..Do you remember Madden 2001 on Playstation 2? That was the 1st football game released when the Playstation 2 launched and it was GREAT compared to the PSX counterpart!

I'm tired of the excuses man....How much will it take for you to give up and realize the team that is currently making the game isn't good enough? How long will you give them? Madden 2050?

EA fooled us into believing the E3 video was legit by releasing the slomo video of RG3,Marshawn Lynch, and Patrick Willis video. Now it's all starting to make sense now that we're seeing videos in real time.

It's only a matter of time before the average Joe catches on to what EA Tiburon is doing. Same fate that NBA Live had will catch on to Madden. I guarantee it!

COME ONNNN!!!!
