First Madden NFL 25 Screenshot, First Details on Run Free Ball Carrier Feature

It says "ball carrier" not running back. Big difference. Still, you gotta show me in action before I can judge it.

Until I hear news about defensive line play, zone and man coverage and reads, I am not impressed....More advances to offense? And yet nothing about offensive line play....So just focus on the offensive skill positions and screw the real players in football?

Von Miller does not get run over lol

The only thing i can say without seeing it in action is good job EA and Tiburon more offense improvement while defense still goes untouched.

I hate to be negative from one screen shot and it's not because of it being one of my teams guys but the same legacy issue of 220 pound backs pushing over linebackers 30 pounds heavier yet getting solo tackled by 180 pound corners would be apparent here.Now we need the screen shot of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie solo tackling Foster.

I just hope some how all this makes it way to OL/DL line interaction and with WR/DB interaction. Where a physical DB can really jam up and knock off stride a weaker WR. Same thing with lineman. Where a speed DE can throw a slower less athletic OT off balance and they once and for all kill the patty cake animation.

And more importantly, I hope the CPU controlled players make use of these new abilities as well. Too often over the past few years, new features would be added but the CPU controlled players wouldn't use them at all.

i agree 100%. That is really what kills gameplay as well if the AI played to its skillset the game wouldnt need difficulty levels

Bc weight and momentum do not matter. I.E is supposed to be physics yet it doesn't take into account two of the most important variables. Mass and momentum.

Yeah,this should be an important thing when implementing something resembling a physics engine and was advertised as such last year but I highly doubt we'll see weight and momentum matter.Until this changes it's pretty useless.

There are a ton of people around here that constantly have constructive things to say or point out. There are an equal number of people who hate the game without merit and who defend the game at all cost.

I think madden is in the state that it is bc the constructive people are always over looked.

But back on topic.

In that article it mentions the first image of Madden 25 was in espn the magazine two weeks ago and it was a stiff arm by AP. Can someone who subscribes upload that pic on here please?

"unprecedented ball-carrier control and precision". I wrote a blog on OS and also posted it on the gamechanger website on this very topic last year. Hoping they implement a running system similar to Fifa's. Speed of the player is determined by manipulation of the triggers and analog sticks. The moves you do/cuts you make are all determined by player rating and speed at which the player is going. Not saying this is what they are putting the game but I would love to see it. Guys who like automatic turbo will probably not like this feature.

The potential issue though is what if only the ball carrier runs properly and everyone else on the field still is skating all over the field like past maddens have shown.

Looks....the same
