Player models are terrible and a joke. All the running backs have their body sliders set to max so they all are built like Derrick Henry. They got incredibly lazy with Last-Gen.

This isn't my impression, but it's one I saw/heard on youtube from a guy who has the trial. He said defense is better than last year, and that the gameplay is more tight and smooth. Says it doesn't feel too different, but is improved, especially the defense. He liked the new body types as well. He also said you have to be more deliberate with your passing, knowing when to throw a bullet vs lob, as apparently the throw type is more important than it was last year. I've decided I'm going to get it, considering I don't know when or if I'll get a PS5, so I might as well have one last Madden to enjoy.

Yeah I'm assuming that's a bug as body types will change mid play.

Playing on PC and I'm not impressed.

Only thing I've enjoyed for the "price" is the new player tags/motivations, contracts pre-built terms, free agency evaluations and the face of the franchise (early on game play at least).

Not getting any gameplay improvements, such as replays, player movements, momentum, etc for a 3rd year in a row is ridiculous. And the fact that they are charging the "standard" last Gen price of $59.99 USD is blatant disrespect.

Just charge $30 and let modders get the PC version were it needs to be.

I truly feel bad for the last Gen console players that can't financially afford or find a console!

Played only a game and a half on PC (Via trial). Defense appears improved out of the box imo. Better camera transition from big plays to celebrations. Runs smoother than 22 on my PC. Not overly impressed thus far though I'm early in. Can't say it's worth $60 right now if you have 22' as it seems like very little was done to improve it at first glance...I will certainly use up my 10 hours before making a final decision..

This isn't about next gen dude, this is an impressions thread for last gen, believe it or not there are still a lot of us on last gen.

It's simply never going to happen. Baseline game pricing is not going to trend downwards.

Regarding impressions, I'm having just an OK time. There might be some gameplay adjustments, but nothing substantial I've seen. Going through franchise is becoming kind of a chore, and I had hoped the menus would be snappier one of these years. I realize a lot of the franchise improvements were requested by people for years -- but I personally don't think it adds that much and is more fluff than anything.

At some point I suppose the series isn't for me anymore because I don't find playing through the menus in franchise to be particularly enjoyable, and I personally don't think the gameplay is anything outstanding -- it's simply decent -- nothing more or less, so me just playing quick match games against the AI (like I do with the NBA 2K series because I enjoy the gameplay a lot there) doesn't seem likely long term.

Probably will just run through the trial and not touch it again.

As a PC player which has next, next gen hardware. This game is the typical/standard Madden everyone is used to.

I haven't played this game since they had the option to change the game speed. And it's still the same game.

Neither of these posts are at all relevant and all you're doing is trolling.

First - if you don't have an impression for last-gen, leave the thread.

Second - Consider this a warning, next time will be a ban.

Last - Don't ever assume someone can or can't afford something. It's not fair and is incredibly insulting. You have absolutely no idea about anyone else's financial situation except your own. Priorites can vary drastically.

I'll put myself out there as an example. I can easily afford one but we have a kid on the way. I could buy a next gen system but in all reality, don't play much as is and won't be playing much at all for a few years and we have many much more important expenses on the way.
