Madden NFL 25 Video - Playbook: Run Free with Trey Wingo and Doug Martin

Re: Madden NFL 25 Video - Playbook: Run Free with Trey Wingo and Doug Martin

It's the fact that people have way to high expectations for realisim in a video game. This is the last year in this gen. Did people honestly believe that there was going to be some sort dramatic overhaul by now???

FYI, this is a clip from a "video game".

I just hope we're able to duplicate moves and runs like this.

...Just some funky stuff going on that I don't attribute to "early builds" because it's been in there for a couple of years. Just like a players legs going through his own legs. The natural movement is just messed up.

That weird stuff is really annoying, ball goes through players hands, player disappears into stadium wall while celebrating a TD....

Is it really that difficult to make these things "solid" in terms of programming??? I am not a tech guy or programmer, but you would think the player models and the ground, at the very least, should be "solid matter" which objects (and other players) should not be able to occupy the same space at the same time. I don't get why that happens...

I think this site would be happier if no information was posted for Madden.

Every information that has been released is filled with multiple pages of nothing but bashing.

Anways, the video looked decent. It still has a ways to go but no big time complaints besides the moves need to be slowed down and tuned.

EDIT::

Also the video looks to have been sped up quite a bit. One big thing that need to change if they are allowing this moves, take out the hideous jump back move where the defender is laying on the ground before he even jumps back. Looks awful.

Does the content of those videos not bear any responsibility for any of the bashing?

The bottom line is this. EA released the videos in April for the game. Did they release them so that we would NOT talk about them? If the game is much further along in development, and these videos aren't indicative of the game's current state, or of the retail game's quality, then why release them? You can't have it both ways.

How about if everyone said how great the videos are? Would you come on here and say you have no idea how the game will turn out based on those vids. The footage is months old. They could be messing everything up as we speak.

Seriously doubt it.

That's not a fact. I feel the exact opposite. I think people's expectations are way too low, actually. Notice I said "I think."

I agree with the previous criticisms of the "Jump Jukes"; that just doesn't happen....Then you consider the "jump juke" being played out in snow and rain games, the runner would fall down every time if the results of the "jump juke" was realistically represented....

Hope this is something EA Tiburon clean up...

Also hope that the how the runner cuts or changes directions while exclusively using the "left sick" has some tie in to how drastically the user pushes the stick to the left or right...Obviously, as the previous posters videos show, open field change of directions do not all require foot planting to perform; just need to ensure the zig-zag and gliding are eliminated as best as possible....

Did they eliminate the hard left stick running you can do? The hard movements where you don't lose any running speed and can cut on a dime?

While those things are annoying they happen even in the stellar sports games for the most part, but Madden/NCAA they just stand out and happen so much more.

It looks really bad to me (that .gif)

That animation is just really lame to begin with and definitely doesn't apply to what SHOULD happen there

This video is just depressing after watching the Madden footage, lol. Just too many missing frames of animation to even come close. Not to mention the animations just lack natural movement.

Look closer to TGTSNBN than Madden, I don't think I would have showcased Brian Westbrook in a comparison to Madden but that's just me..

SO you watched what one highlight and then quit? Westbrook isn't even in the video after the first 20 seconds.

TGTSNBN? What is that?
