Madden NFL 25 - Looking at Five Major Areas in the Running Game (MyMaddenPad)

[Steve_OS]

MyMaddenPad has posted five major areas in the running game that were addressed in Madden NFL 25.

Today EA SPORTS revealed the new “Run Free” mechanic in Madden NFL 25 that will have you juking, hurdling, stiff arming and spin moving down the field as the run game finally gets a much needed upgrade and attention. Now I’m a running type player by nature so I was still able to run but last year was a lot frustrating because of the new Infinity Engine that had Adrian Peterson falling down just from running into the back of his lineman. Now with the new Infinity Engine 2.0 you won’t have that problem, but what’s even more impressive to me is the “Precision Modifier” that will have even the most pass happy player wanting to run just a tad bit more.

The “Precision Modifier” allows you to pull off 30 new moves for the ball carriers (including QB out of the pocket and defenders with the ball) and string together combos that could leave defenders grabbing air.

There are five major areas of focus that EA SPORTS paid close attention to when it came to the run game.

That sounds great actually.

Re: Run Free with Madden NFL 25 All New Precision Modifier

Well it sounds good in writing. Unfortunately Madden isn't played in writing. The trailer didn't look good to me. I will need to see it more in motion before I can truly judge, but my expectations are not very high.

Acceleration Burst

Auto sprint is now out.* No longer is there an auto sprint, which I never liked and neither did the gameplay team when they talked about revamping the running game.* I’ve always felt like having auto sprint on took away another weapon that I could use to be extra shifty or to get to that gear that you didn’t see coming and letting the CPU decide.* Just never worked for me and this new “Acceleration Burst” is exactly what I was looking for in more ways than one.* The right trigger is the “Acceleration Burst” and what is great is it is tied with a new stamina system that they’ve put into Madden NFL 25; which we’ll get to later.* The “Acceleration Burst” now allows me to set up my blockers or to stutter and then accelerate around a corner on toss plays.* It really felt good to gain a burst like you see in the NFL and it really adds another dimension to running game. It’s not over powered and sometimes you don’t realize it it’s there until you use it, but when you do you can feel your guy accelerate through the whole.

Is this turkey not just describing the turbo/sprint button AKA how it had always freakin been until a couple years ago?

Sounds better than the developer blog, but I have trouble trusting the game changers after they didn't mention any of the bugs in CCM last year.

The player model of Peyton Manning in that screenshot just looks goofy.

Exactly. Sell an old feature as "new"......like clock work.

I just thought the exact same thing as I finished reading the article. It SOUNDS great but we will have to see how the execution turns out.

Madden NFL 25 now has authentic hard cuts at 45, 90, 135, and 180 degree angles to eliminate the swerve, the zig zag, and the unrealistic running.

2 articles now that have said that Zigzag running is no more.

Sounds a lot like what fifa tries to do with their dribbling mechanic.

Re: Run Free with Madden NFL 25 All New Precision Modifier

these may turn out to be solid improvements, but EA just kills themselves with their marketing campaign to the casual fans. They aren't the ones reading your blogs EA. I don't want to hear about crazy combo moves and heat seeker tackling wtf.

Well, at least it's sounds good, compared the EA blogs and trailer, which sounded and LOOKED so, very, very, bad.

Re: Run Free with Madden NFL 25 All New Precision Modifier

it does sound good, though the burst feature is what I thought auto sprint was for/ created to do. but if auto-sprint is gone and the right trigger is for the burst...whats the normal sprint button?

Remember, two of the three articles played a pre-alpha build.

The GCers can't control what the final product is vs when they played a pre-alpha build in February.

Same was said a few years ago when OS folks went down for CD. What they saw in April wasn't part of the final product in August.

The old "speed burst" and the "accelerator button" are actually different.

If you didn't press "speed burst" you would only run about 90% of your top speed. When you did press it you would run 100%.

The way I believe the new "accelerator button" works is if you never press the button will eventually get to 100% of your top speed. When you press the button you will get to 100% of your top speed faster.
