Madden Next Gen Today at 5:00 PM EST 2 PM PST

Running animations and overall locomotion looks light years better. OL/DL interactions looked much better as well, offense looked a little overpowered but probably at low difficulty setting.

Still saw a little bit of odd "physics" moments. I really wish they would have had the crowd and sidelines in.

Cam said this is a full functional Madden with no loss in depth.

This looks like something we can definitely work with, and a great foundation moving forward. I'm sold

hard to say its still early......its ok

I want to see some more passing. Hopefully throwing on the run looks more organic. I also hope they have fixed the ball physics where it looks all funky when it is thrown and caught.

Can't wait to tear it up with Luck and the Colts.

I like Cam, like hearing him talk, liked everything he said. With that said besides no hunch back running, that looked like Madden 25 current gen footage. Same short choppy animations, horrible endzone dives, no variety in animations, just really a buzz kill. Based on that I would NOT buy any Madden this year at full price. It's still early though, maybe the complete package can convince me. If that's the base though, no thank you.

Cam Weber said Madden 25 next gen will be fully featured, nothing will be left out of it because they already laid the ground work for it with Madden 13. Cam said next gen system has 10 times more memory and 8 times more speed so therefore it allows them to have individual players to make 50 times more calculations on the fly. Then talked about combo moves you can do in Madden 25 and basically how each player in next gen Madden is fully aware of his surroundings and the entire field. Video wise, nothing much to look at, since it was nothing but running plays. Seen some sweet looking foot planting when they were stopping and changing directions. Seen AP get flipped over when he tried to hurdle a tackler.

To the bold, I can't be the only one that noticed AP pointing out to defenders how to block, which looked good but on the other hand, the way AP wasn't "contextually aware" of the endzone camera and was still trying to run out the back of the endzone, lol.

Hopefully they fix that because it's one of my major peeves that players don't have contextual awareness in the endzone.

Wow. I thought you would like that footage. I guess we all see different things.

But of course you are entitled to your opinion.

It just didn't look any different to me besides the actual running animation looking better. Again it's very early so I'm open, but that didn't inspire me at all. Loved Cam though. He makes it sound like it's going to be great.
