I've talked to some very reliable people who have had hands on time with M25 and based on what they said, I expect the community to be happy/surprised. The hunch back running is the biggest issue that I don't expect to be corrected completely based on what I've heard. Aside from that I think people will like what they see.

Regarding M25...

Everything sounds good but at the same time, its nothing we havent heard, seen or played before. I dont care about next gen systems and as of right now, M25 appears to be exclusive for Xbox One which I have no interest in whatsoever.

I do think that M25 will be better than M13 even though thats not saying much but it'll be next year's Madden that will be the best on the current gen systems as it will be the third game in their three year cycle and probably the last Madden for current gen systems.

I'm pumped about some stuff but at the same time, disappointed about other stuff. I'm still trying to figure out why the Pro Bowl cant be played. My main concerns that im still waiting to read about is if the overall ratings for players match the in-game overall ratings. The schemes completely screwed up the CPU rosters/depth charts/etc. in connected careers. The only positive this year is if its the same, controlling all 32 teams should get around this problem. Also, im hoping the depth chart has been changed even though I doubt it as it has been the same for the last ten years or so. I hate that there's a set amount of slots for every position when the slots should automatically match the amount of players at each position. In other words, if you have two QB's, there should be two slots, not three. And seeing players listed below from other positions drives me nuts too. Those two things need to be eliminated and player position requirements. There's no such thing period. If a team wanted to have 53 QB's on their roster, guess what, they can. Not that any team would actually do that but the point is that they could if they wanted to.

Bottom line...I'll be buying M25 for Xbox 360 and hope that its worth the purchase. If not, I'll just sell it on ebay or trade it in to best buy or Gamestop. The truly sad part is that it could go either way.

Hoping we get some more answers this afternoon, did anyone else have anything they wanted him to ask Mike about?

Madden 25 is for both next gen consoles. Only the xbox one will recieve madden ultimate team exclusive content.

As a Bears fan, I can`t buy the game with the Bears wearing orange pants. My God...how hard could it be to just simply go in and change the color???

Mike Young addressed this in the podcast last Friday. They were given a style guide by Nike during the development of Madden 13 and some changes to uniforms were made by Nike by the time the game was released. It's not like the devs said oh the Bears would look cool with orange pants, not the case, Nike gave them the style guide directly. This shouldn't be a issue for Madden 25.

Yes you guys can be skeptical but the idea that they are making minimal improvements to M25 current gen because they are focusing on next gen is at best laughable. 7 more days till you guys see for yourselves.

According to GameFaqs, its only listed for 360, PS3 and Xbox One. There's no PS4 listing plus Madden was only at Microsoft's reveal, EA wasnt even at PS4's reveal from what I read. Rumors that I have read is that Madden could be a next gen exclusive for Microsoft. While thats not confirmed, E3 should clear it up. If Madden isnt announced/displayed for PS4, then im going to assume that the exclusive aspect is true.
