One thing people keep forgetting is the devs are working with limited space on current gen, that affects everything they are trying to do, gameplay, presentation, Ai, menus, everything. They are giving us as much as they can with what they have to work with.

Seriously tired of this excuse. Madden for years has arguably had the worst AI, worst presentation, and worst play by play of any of the major sports titles out there who, btw are working with the same specs. Limited space has nothing to do with a CPU time out at 1:01 every game or the rest of the AI that has gone downhill the last three years.

Madden's problem isn't the convenient lack of space excuse. It's the constant turnover of the dev team and lack of direction or ability to stay the course.

What settings are you guys playing on to get this 1:01 bug to happen? I played 4 games last week vs the cpu and it never happened. I even called timeouts before the 1:01 mark so I couldn't prevent it from happening somehow by calling a timeout myself, and it still didn't happen for me.

The constant turnover with dev teams is a real problem, definitely, but the lack of space is just as real. Now maybe if they would use the space they are given more on things like gameplay and AI instead of 3d grass or insane levels of detail in all 32 stadiums, uniforms, cleats, gloves, etc... then the space would be used more efficiently. Only problem with that is then people would complain about stadiums, uniforms, cleats, gloves, grass, etc... So in order to make everyone happy, yes they need more space to work with.

Space really isn't the problem man. Look at games like Fifa, Nba 2k, NHL, those games are all miles ahead of Madden. Yes more space means potential to add more, but that doesn't matter if the people making the game are lackluster.

I'm not going to sit here and argue about this, I've talked to the people that know how this all works and you have your opinion and I have mine.

Trust me I hope that this years madden saves from jumping on the new consoles day one. As of now it's not looking very likely I'll be sticking with this gen. Granted we have only seen one 5 second clip of gameplay footage and it looks the same as the last two years. Season ticket for this gen will help me decide. If I'm blown away next week, so long madden on this gen and hello ps4.

I think he meant the score overlay. I wished they added a ticker. They do it for 123 teams in NCAA, but can't for 32 in NFL? C'mon, man.

I think he knows the difference between a score overlay and a ticker though. The score overlay is generally referred to as a scorebug, we'll find out soon enough, but I'm just curious what he means by new tickers.

Or Game Breaks like Studio Updates in NCAA.

This presentation stuff sounds okay, as long as it WORKS. Madden 10 supposed to have stadium sounds, didnt work. Madden 11, fight songs and sounds worked. Madden 12, the audio was all messed up for that title. Madden 13 , completley touted a partnership with NFL films, but, and correct me if Im worng, that game had ZERO content from NFL films save 10 or 12 QB cadences ( and 2 or 3 of them were backups or retired). I love the presentation stuff, and it helps me overlook some bugs if it feels like Im watching a game.

The player chatter and tackle sound effects were from NFL Films, and yes the Qb Cadences that you mentioned.

QB cadences were one of the best presentation features in Madden 13, they bring a level of authenticity to the game that I've never experienced in a Madden game. I'm hoping they added more qb cadences for Madden 25. I'm guessing we will get a presentation trailer or something along those lines, sometime this week or else during E3. I was thinking it would be a blog but Mike said in the podcast Friday that presentation info is probably better when it can be seen or heard and not just read about in a blog.

I only play against the CPU and it happens whenever the CPU has the chance late to tie/take lead and VERY often if they have the ball in the 2-minute drill.

Always at 1:01 as well unless the clock ran past it during the play and then it's whenever the play is over.

I can count on one hand the number of times it DIDN'T happen in the above scenarios. I'm all for clock management, but when it's at or very close to the same game clock each time and no awareness of trying to get O.O.B to save clock/timeouts...

Does this happen to you during a play now,MUT, or CCM game? I was referring to solo challenge games in MUT, where it doesn't happen for me,so I wonder if it's a CCM bug.

Okay. But that is hardly a back of the box feature to roll out. I really just hope the fight songs and stadium stuff work this year. Every stadium should have something unique going on. Madden 11 was somewhat well done in that aspect. But there is no reason to not have E-A-G-L_E-S, or the dog pound barking, or the voltage sound in san diego...

That being said, the mention of the muskett audio in New England is promising....

Madden 12 was the one with all of that stuff working I believe, or maybe both 11 & 12.

I agree with you 100% on this. The cadences, along with the specific throwing styles are a huge thing for me. The thing that dissapointed me was they had "unprecedneted" use of NFL films resources, and they leave out mid to high level guys like Cutler, Cassell ( at the time haha) but leave in JAke Delhomme and Donovan Mcnabb.

Im not that crazy about face scans on rookies, just ad the face scans for star players which are out and I would be happy.

Like Lesean McCoy, Ngata, Hakeem Nicks, Cruz, JPP, Arian Foster, theres a big list.

Well they said they added some at the pro bowl, along with all 32 coaches. They also said that they get who they can when they are at these events, some people will decline to have their faces scanned. Hopefully most of the names if not all, that you mentioned will be in Madden 25. I know I was the one who asked the question about face scans and specifically mentioned Foster as an example.
