Madden 25 worth the switch from NCAA?

[Instant C1a55ic]

Well, i skipped last years Madden because of the problems with duplicate numbers and coaching scheme changes not sticking after being changed. Is it worth it this year? Any major issues with CCM that would render it useless? Im a big franchise guy and am just looking for a seamless CCM with no game breaking or eye sore issues. Im currently enjoying NCAA 14 and curious if its switching back over. Any input would be appreciated!

You can do offline fantasy draft which is a major plus. I don't have the full game yet, but in the demo the gameplay feels better. I'm getting it mainly for the in-depth franchise mode. Stadium expansion, rebuilding, relocating. Not to mention the financial aspect, too.

I sold my NCAA copy already and am making the switch. The expanded franchise depth is what helped sell me even if a lot of the new features aren't really all that new. 32 team control is also very important.

Was never able to get competitive games in NCAA w/ any slider set even when my team was significantly worse than my opponents. Have had a great time w/ the demo and even the games i lose feel natural and not cheezy.

I traded my NCAA into Best Buy (42.00) and just need to decide if I can wait until PS4 Madden or not. I LOVE NFL and the wait might kill me...we'll see.

Isn't there a deal where if you buy Madden for this gen in you only pay like 10 bucks for it on next gen when you trade it in?

Yes but only announced for the XBOX versions so far. However rumor has it Sony versions will be doing the same.
Doesn't help me though as I would be getting the XBOX version now but the next Gen PS4 version

Id say go ahead and make the switch...the game is solid and the small gameplay problems can be fixed by sliders
Im really liking the game !

For me it is worth the switch. But I personally enjoy playing with NFL teams more than NCAA teams. I only play NCAA to get me going until Madden comes out and to be honest the last few years I have hardly played that much NCAA.

There have been some reported crazy CPU decisions regarding their rosters in years 2 and on, but I havent gotten that far yet.

Well, here comes "unpopular opinion man," but, I don't think I would pirck M25 over NCAA14 based on the Season Ticket release.

I plan on buying M25 for offline chise, but, I have a very hard time seeing any defense as far as user games this year. Even with difficulty sliders against CPU I have to use house rules. This isn't the case for me in NCAA, especially since patch 2 seemed to make coverage a little tighter.

M25 can be a fun game, depending on what you are looking for in an NFL game. Again, don't get me wrong, I am still buying it, but NCAA, FOR ME, in MY PERSONAL OPINION (please don't flame me, I know the Madden board gets a little crazy) NCAA won this year. IMO just a better game of football.

Again, this is based on what I have played in Season Ticket release, the retail version might be better, and there might be a day one patch waiting for us too.

Played the retail version at my Game Stop. The retail game without the patch is much better than the pre-release. So much better, I decided to renew my pre-order.

I dont play defense, well because i am HORRIBLE at it. I sim the defense and play only offense, so I hope your not referring to the CPU defense.

Im still up in the air. I can trade in NCAA 14 and MLB The Show 13 to get Madden for 9.99. Still dont know what I am going to do...HELP!
