Madden NFL 25: What's Hot and What's Not

Re: Madden NFL 25: What's Hot and What's Not

The jokes on you my friend. OVR is absolutely useless. It's the individual stat categories that make up the players worth. When talking about ratings, you can't speak of OVR.

Umm k I'm pretty sure OVR is how AI controlled teams determine who to sign and how to order their depth chart, so I have no clue how you're getting that its useless lol

Re: Madden NFL 25: What's Hot and What's Not

What's not hot is that Donny Moore still fits ratings and over rates absolutely everyone. The reasons need to be spread out and we need 80% of the players need to be rated 75 and under. And they still haven't fixed progression..... smh

Idk if it was official or not but, I saw a screen from madden 25 cfm and AP was a 94, actually seems low but I'd rather see that then every decent hb be a 95+

Re: Madden NFL 25: What's Hot and What's Not

They aren't entirely subjective. A free agent that literally no team is even kicking the tires on in real life should NEVER be 88 overall, but it happens every year in madden. I just bought the game used for 15 bucks and could not stop laughing at teams signing an 88 kellen Winslow and 87 Kurt Warner with updated CCM rosters. Joke.

I wonder about this same thing. I wonder how the hell Donny Moore could give a player a 85+ rating and he's not even on a NFL roster when the game drops. I mean if the player was really a 87, don't you think some team would want him? I usually just go through and make every free agent a 79 or lower. I have been saying this a long time, but I really wish there was more than one person with input over ratings.

What's Not:
- Not knowing what feature set will be for the Next-Gen version and whether or not it launches with the Next-Gen consoles.

Re: Madden NFL 25: What's Hot and What's Not

What's not: The lack of in-depth info for presentation and Franchise/CCM.

Thought May 20th was going to be the day for ALL of the info to be dropped. Some, but not all.........
Now we get a little more, but have to wait for details on certain aspects of the info released.

Still waiting for:

46 man Gameday Rosters (a weekly NFL decision) (NFLHC 09 had this)
8 Man Parctice Squads (all teams use the P.S.)
Injuries - Can they carryover to the next year? (NFLHC 09 had this) Can injuries happen during practice? Can they happen during the offseason (player fell off a ladder while working at home).

Overall Audio, will it change year to year? Will my QB who was in his 10th year NOW be in his 11th year.
Will a team be called the Defending Super Bowl Champs.
Will the presentation have stat overlays and audio on that player.
Will keys to the game be talked about?
Injuries to players & Injuried players (key players) be shown on sidelines in streets (w/stats up on screen), then move to his replacement (w/stats on screen).

Just a touch of the details everyone wants & CAN BE DONE, should already be in the game.

News Center fixes:

Went for my 2nd Super Bowl and it was saying that I was going for my 1st Super Bowl? Yeah........

It's the little things, if it's a bug, then hopefully it's fixed

Will trades be more detailed when posted, Especially during the draft! Key little thing.

Why do teams trade up? Had a team trade up into the 1st rd (giving up next years 1 & this years 5rd). They selected a safety.........2 years later in my CCM that safety does not start for that team. smh.

Checked rosters in Pre-Season. Some teams carrying 3 QB's, a few carrying 4, the rest carrying 2 and ONE team carrying one QB. It's pre-season, teams usuallyhave 3-4 QB's

How the AI/CPU handles the roster in Pre-Season is key.......becomes a mess. Starters still playing in the 2nd half at different positions. Fixed?

Re: Madden NFL 25: What's Hot and What's Not

Wasn't sure where to put this but I thought it was relevant to being 'hot' right now at least in terms of being a good sign. If you didn't see, this is an in-game fighter render from EA's UFC game:

Spoiler

I would say it looks just as good, if not a bit better than the CGI trailer we saw at the XBOX One reveal.

Spoiler

Obviously, not trying to put too much into it but I think that it could be a good sign that Madden looks very similar to what we saw, visually, in that trailer. As far as movement is concerned there's really no way of knowing until E3 but the good thing is that it's right around the corner.

Re: Madden NFL 25: What's Hot and What's Not

I think the lack of videos is due to them wanting to show off the game on the next gen consoles. Its a bit of a concern for the current gen versions.

Re: Madden NFL 25: What's Hot and What's Not

The 'what's hot' list strikes me more as 'what's tepid'...

Not too excited about seeing things we expect to be in the game returning as 'new features' again.

[DKHardee]

I hope next-gen M25 has these features but I'm sure it won't. I remember when I got M07 for PS3, worst Madden ever!

Did we get gameplay videos before E3 last year? I feel like E3 is usually when we finally stop getting screen shots and start seeing video but I could be wrong.

The only video we got before E3 last year was that one where it showed the Steelers and Bengals kick return during the presentation webcast and the physics were "leaked".

In that webcast they mentioned how normally you wouldn't see any kind of actual gameplay videos that early. I think last year spoiled us. This year is no different than the years prior to Madden 13 as far as information being revealed, except that we haven't seen a official presentation reveal yet. I do expect one soon though, in the form of a video instead of a blog based on what Mike Young said, possibly by Friday. At the latest, during E3.

Want something in Madden added or fixed?

Re: Madden NFL 25: What's Hot and What's Not

No.. no they do not. I do not want CBs playing WR, etc online or anywhere at all unless they are that position. Positions are part of real life and that is the way it needs to be.

You have WR's playing RB, TE's playing WR, CB's playing SS, FS, DE's playing OLB, DT's and DE's switching, OLineman switching positions quite a bit. Positions are anywhere near as set in stone as you think.

NCAA importing was the main thing i wanted to see. Taking that out killed it for me last year.

It would be awesome if Madden looks like this! But I doubt we'll see it this good looking for a few years, because UFC is two guys in a ring not 22 guys on the field.
