QJB is back with a new video, this one looking at the new line play within Madden NFL 25 on next-gen consoles. If you can't see the video above, check it out on YouTube.

aside from the d-line/o-line this is pretty much looking like a straight up port.

Ewww I have been a supporter and will still get it cause its only $10 but disappointed by that video.

I throwing motion was u-g-l-y!

Ball looked to be a few inches behind amendola I think it was and all of a sudden suctions right into his hands, looked ugly at about the :32 second mark.

I am going to assume it was an earlier build lots of clipping and just an overall lack of polish and realistic movement. Brade looked like a turtle at one point with his head inside his shoulder pads.

Does QJB work for EA or does is he someway contractually obligated to be so pro EA?

I wonder how much the tackle patty caking the DE to the ground after they reach the edge of the pocket animation is going to play. Can the DE set up an outside move and come inside? Will the CPU ends ever even attempt to come to the inside of the tackle? We are not going to get real gameplay until after release, count on it.

It looks like that club/rip animations where the DE falls to the ground is just a canned animation, and if that's the case that's disappointing. If you watch the one EA released with Anthony Spencer on the Cowboys, it the same exact result just different players. So are these 300 new pass rush animations gonna have an effect on the game or are they just for show?

I like some of the content but these videos may as well have been made by the EA marketing team. They've already given us blogs and hype trailers for their back-of-the-box features. Move on, please.

The line stuff looks great. The QB animations look so bad I'm not sure I'd be able to look past it.

We saw all this in the video by EA. What a waste of time to re-show it.. ugh.

So... Is this Giant blob with the tiny head supposed to be Tom Brady?

Re: Madden 25 Next Gen PS4 Gameplay War In the Trenches

Line play looks improved.. but im still seeing suctioning into blocks. Apart from that... looks like CG.

I also just hate how the game looks. All the players look like cartoon characters.

Re: Madden 25 Next Gen PS4 Gameplay War In the Trenches

Everything looks good...But I do agree that they could clean up the QB throwing motions...in this day and age it really should be the standard to have player specific signature QB animations and throwing motions.

Also instead of shjowing me Tom Brady having a day and a half in the pocket...let me see a DE or DT blow him up one time or come off the edge and make a play.

I cant get past how bad the throwing animation looks to even notice anything else in this video.

Re: Madden 25 Next Gen PS4 Gameplay War In the Trenches

The running animations need to be cleaned up. They look a little stiff. Also, anyone else notice the lineman animation @1:20? Will every lineman be capable to do this? It just seems repetitive.

Re: Madden 25 Next Gen PS4 Gameplay War In the Trenches

Awww man this is just depressing... How come they show the same "pass rushing" animation all 3 times (1 on the videos by Clint and 2 now by QJB) if they have 300?!?!?

The only thing that makes me think the pass rush can be even a bit effective in NG is for cpu pass rushing, since the QB is user controlled, the user might be less prone to step up in the pocket when appropriate thus allowing DE's to get to them.

On the other side, I hope to gawd awareness plays a role on cpu qb's stepping up :/
