In your honest opinion, did EA really spend 2 years developing Next Gen?

To me about 3 months development time would be about right based on this final product. What I was told was even something similar, that they weren't really working on Madden 25 next gen until they finished Madden 25 current gen. I don't agree with that at all and they should have been more honest and upfront with their fanbase if they were just going to do a high res port. They should have shown us what they did and then said, this is what we are wanting Madden next gen to look like next year, now this year, we are just porting the game over so we can deliver a true next gen experience in Madden 15, but that is not what they did and I understand why people are upset. I was upset myself when I found out this was basically going to be a high res port back in September, and that Madden 15 was going to be what we were all waiting on. If we go back to MLB the Show 07 and compare it with 08, we will see that 07 was basically a PS2 port for PS3 and then 08 was a much closer version to what we all know and love today. MLB 07 MLB 08 I'm expecting similar results with Madden 15. Remember that Kolbe of MLB the Show is in charge of Presentation for next gen Madden and if you guys think that this is his idea of presentation for a next gen console after seeing what he was able to do with MLB the Show, then I think you're only kidding yourselves. I think we have yet to see what a next gen Madden is going to look like, based on not seeing what Kolbe has in mind for it alone.

No, JP, respectfully, you don't understand why people are upset. The hype and marketing around NG started with the release of M13, and continued through e3. This game is not what they said at e3.

People are upset because the game is very poorly executed for anyone who wants it to resemble football and because EA has been lying and because they are sick of an annually weak game.

Your post does not speak to these issues.

I'm going to say they spent 2 years working on the E3 trailer because whatever that was was the bomb. What I'm seeing in the live streams doesn't even play like what was shown in the 07 trailer with McNabb. That gameplay, those animations do not represent what you see on Sundays.

I got my PS4 and Madden 25 a day early. I've only played one game but in my opinion, the only difference I see is that the jaggies are gone. It looks like what current gen Madden would look on PC with anti-aliasing. I'm pretty bummed because I was expecting much better player animations. On the plus side, it isn't a barebones Madden like Madden 06 was.

Can you post a screenshot of RG3 zoomed in up close so we can compare it to the E3 trailer RG3?

This year they decide on a straight port because people that are not die hard sim gamers that purchase madden annually every year, are most likely the same people that will not pick up a new console until the first or second price drop. EA saved resources while still putting out a next gen launch title, and we will see the benefits of that next year.

this would be ok but that's not what we were told. I was looking forward to NG and wasn't expecting a completely new game. just madden 25 CG with the improvements advertised. as I said in the other thread im withholding final judgment until I play for myself but I see none of the improvements touted.
