LoL okey. Now only holding gets called. So nothing would really change. Only that we have a few more penalty sliders that wont work.
But you never know ofcourse. Gonne have to see when 25 drops if ea made some improvements i. The penalty department

Re: Madden NFL 25 Developers Are Working On Implementing New NFL Rules

I guess I am in the minority because I can imagine a realistic risk/reward benefit for the new offensive spearing rule in Madden. Like Spliff mentioned, it could be a risk/reward type of thing added for ill advised truck sticking and hopefully on the flip side, for hit sticking too. I forget what year, maybe M12 but they added the thing where if the User attempted a hit stick tackle too early they would whiff and stumble. So I can imagine this penalty acting as a similar deterrent to abusing the hit stick and truck stick in the open field.

There would likely be a slider for it anyway so those who love WWE/NFL Blitz style collisions can still have them but I for one like the idea of encouraging more diverse and fundamentally sound User control strategy through the penalty system. I have been saying for years there should be far more holding penalties for Users ad libbing in the backfield on applicable plays. In the real NFL, if a blocker is expecting the ball carrier or QB to do something within the play design but they instead do something completely outside of that, it can easily result in what would have been a good block, being a hold. This needs to be used to encourage play design discipline when applicable so Users aren't turning every run play into an outside sweep or pass into a QB bootleg.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Developers Are Working On Implementing New NFL Rules

So lets add new rules while the existing ones aren't there or are, but broken?

Why does Madden always add layers to the house without stabilizing it's foundation? How many times have they said that to us, "we need to rip out the old broken code and do it again...blah blah"

What's going to trigger this, truck sticking? Ugh.

Lmao 100% agree

[tbook24]

so that means no tuck rule which have really seen in the game. but that will take the truck stick away pretty much since you cant lower the head in the open field. look for more injuries for running backs or more stepping out of bounds to avoid contact

Excuse me, but they don't even have all of the current rules/penalties implemented...

Re: Madden NFL 25 Developers Are Working On Implementing New NFL Rules

My overall view of these rules is that it want matter. Unless EA balance on the rules and make them work properly in Madden25 for once in their life. These new rules want make much of a difference at this point. I mean it will be interesting to see if the old rules get fixed in madden this year. It would be a big plus for Madden moving forward. But if it is the same old crap. Then it want matter much. Let's see if EA will make some changes for the common good for Madden this year and moving forward in the next Gen Consoles. I hope it works out will.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Developers Are Working On Implementing New NFL Rules

Good thing we don't have a truck stick, or else the running back rule would probably get over-called.

...Don't we have a trucking move?

I mean, when I push up the R-stick, my halfback lowers himself and tries to power forward.

I think it's a legitimate concern you bring up.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Developers Are Working On Implementing New NFL Rules

In Madden 13 runners automatically lower their head, maybe this year they can make it a penalty if you hold the right stick and run directly into someone. Who knows how they will make it work with these devs.

I am very curious on how they will suture and band aid this in the game.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Developers Are Working On Implementing New NFL Rules

Did EA really say that? Just more proof we need a true NFL simulation not some arcade bs.

Ian Cummings used to say that, along with "Madden players don't want to play full games, or have "mistakes" (like dropped snaps, this was being discussed here with Ian shortly after the Romo XP drop in the playoffs).

This is why I was thrilled to see that whole group of developers leave, they didn't want the Madden I want.

- TE's and HB's Can Now Wear No's 40-49 - I can honestly say that this is really the only new rule that I am confident that EA can get into the game right lol. Basically because it requires very little new programming lol.

Via player edit you can assign any number to any player as it is right now in M13. So you could already do this, however you can also assign illegal numbers too and it doesn't matter. lol

Yeah, in my last CCM game, the CPU had a #00 on defense and I was like WTF, it was just their DT.

Also seen guys on the CPU teams with 00 as well, usually linebackers but this time it was a DT.

Edit: I notice LBs seems to have the most numbering issues - I guess since there are usually quite a few and the DL usually gets 90's along with LBs, so the numbers are used up fast.

Lol, well hell, I don't see anything new that EA can add from these new rules lol. I guess the marketing worked tho. It's April and we're here talking about Madden and NFL rules.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Developers Are Working On Implementing New NFL Rules

Like others, I just wish they got the other penalties to work first. I wouldn't care if the number of penalties that were going to happen were a random predetermined number. While the game is loading I wouldn't care if the game decided I would get 8 penalties during the game as long as they were randomized and looked legit while playing. Something is better than nothing.
