Madden NFL 25 Video - MNF Simulation: Colts vs. Chargers (Xbox One)

[Dal4life]

I just wonder if ESPN is using the final build or a prototype of M25 because the MNF videos do not look like the trailer videos at all. There are obviously two different games being shown. Perhaps the E3 videos were from a PC build and later the XOne hardware turned out less powerful than they expected and M25 had to be detuned from the earlier build. OR EA pulled another switcharoo and baited everyone with CGI videos only to reveal the real M25 which is a port of current gen. It is odd that they have pulled the videos,, it does not look good. I would rather they pull M25 all together like they did NBALive than to have a next gen wreck that is a waste of money, even if it is only a 10$ upgrade. Just yank M25 next gen and start over until it merits the next gen badge!

Opps, sorry for posting twice twice, it's been going by so fast with all these comments, but, if this is what happened, they need to get there snuff up to snuff.

Thank you, this is what I've been saying. EA is not willing to risk the company over Madden. As a result EA may not want to make a deal with the NFL for too much money, and most likely the NFL wants more money then ever before from EA for exclusive rights.

It is definitely next gen. The helmets, the crowd, and the field. You can tell it's what Madden calls next gen. They are trying to save face. Last time they blamed ESPN for bad encoding, now they are saying they marked the footage wrong. Either ESPN is really stupid or EA is now realising how crappy they did on next gen. I'm thinking this is on EA, not ESPN.

It was probably pulled for that reason

Of course it's next gen footage cause the head coaches are wearing head sets.

Even though I don't buy that, the 360 does run that poorly with the wrong sliders.

It is what is....that is next gen no matter what lie they try to say you can see little things like hair and parts of the crowd and the ****ing grass they keep talking about is slightly better than current gen but its the only football game coming to next gen so I guess we're stuck with it. I thought the worst thing could be a port over with better graphics...but leave it to ea to **** that up and give us a port over with the same graphics SMH O YEA WITH COACH GLASS ON XBOX1 WTF!
