I'm saying that running back will never be able to break away from that animation, it will always result in a tackle, is that not true?

Did I see some engaged player mobility? At 1:12, Rams #79 against 49ers defender. It's not lateral but that's the farthest I've seen engaged players travel. Encouraging. Hopefully that can happen laterally (contain & maintaining outside leverage) and the other way up the field (pass rushing / pocket formation).

The angles & speed make it hard to analyze, but overall, I like the vid.

That would be awesome - you are talking a "cleanup hit" yes?

I will have to see it to believe it is actually in the game, because this will be the third time now that someone got me excited about this possibility...

Wasn't clean up hits in past Maddens too? You tell me they took that out too!

True "cleanup" hits have never been in Madden - I am talking ball carrier is held up in "struggle" animation and the user can come "hit stick" him, both him and my own defender, the whole pile. There have been occasional "consecutive" hits, but never "initiated" by the user...

Cleanup hits would be a dream come true to me.

Anyway, I liked what I saw for the most part.

I wasn't expecting any wholesale changes so if the aforementioned improvements pan out then I think it will be a good game.

Lets be honest with ourselves, Madden this gen will NEVER be what we all want it to be. There is no reason to keep getting mad about it.

I honestly couldn't be more even keeled for Madden 25 current-gen.

Now, Next-gen. That I'm excited about.

Real talk - I have no clue what was "new" in that trailer besides that leg drag and that (or something similar) is already in the game.

I watched the video again, at 1:06 there is a "cleanup hit" it is quick, but it is there - now the only thing is that we are watching a trailer - meaning we have no idea if the hit was administered by the CPU or a user, or for that matter if these trailers are even made from actual gameplay to start with...
