Re: Two More Madden NFL 25 Screenshots

These look fine to me, though not very different from Madden 13.

Re: Two More Madden NFL 25 Screenshots

I hope they put the 49ers old uniforms from the late 90's and early 2000's. I loved those uniforms especially the all whites with the gold helmets

That's funny. On NFL Network, top ten worst uni changes, that particular white-on-white uniform came in at #2 I believe! Lol

This must be your first time ever seeing a Madden Game.

Let me introduce you to the final product.

Re: Two More Madden NFL 25 Screenshots

The fact remains that the default version is not merely wrong, but illegal. According to the league's rules on player equipment players are required to wear two socks on each leg (one team color and one white). Failure to do so would earn said player a fine.

Getting this wrong once was absolutely inexcusable; to get it wrong two years in a row boggles the mind.

Too bad the NFL doesn't hold exclusive license companies to the same rules and fines they do the players....

Re: 2 More Madden NFL 25 Screenshots

this stuff isn't a huge deal but the 9ers helmets still looking "flat tan" is really bad. I say it not a big deal BUT it really does let us all know that even though this is a NEW dev team and they are trying to turn this thing around, they are STILL not diving into the details. Unacceptable for me. The small details being on point is what separates a good game from a great game. These things shouldn't be happening at all, let alone happening year after year regardless of who the madden development team is. frustrating that they still don't get it. I hope it plays better

Sadly, even on next gen the 49ers still have flat tan helmets. I'm pretty much about to give up on Madden now. I just can't deal with my team always having the most important aspect of their uniforms done wrong year after year. Just gonna stick to PC games I think.

That's the thing that's going to make you buy or not buy Madden?

I totally understand his frustration. It may seem to some a silly reason to not buy the game, but when your favorite team is continually ignored - or at least not perfectly represented - yeah, it can be frustrating.

The Saints, Cowboys and Raiders all have the same problem. All these years later and EA still can't make gold or silver shine. That's just sad.

Re: 2 More Madden NFL 25 Screenshots

Some of us just care more about Gameplay than a shiny helmet. I couldn't give two ****s if Madden came out and it was our old Vikings Helmet Decal. Why? Because it's a helmet.

If my lineman can't block properly, or my running backs are getting *** tackled by my lineman every single play, that's something to bitch about. Not "Oh, the helmet isn't shiny, wah".

I totally agree with this. I wish the folks who go all in about jersey color being off or some team having the wrong color strings for their cleats would be that adamant about gameplay fixes.

SMH... some of us DO care about game play, and when there is only one game on the market and multiple errors keep happening year after year, then we are going to point them out.

Yes, we all want a perfect football game with great physics, intelligent AI, ratings that actually mean something and a game that is one we can get totally immersed in, be challenged with and have fun with. And having correct uniform's is PART of that process.

Re: Two More Madden NFL 25 Screenshots

I do understand the helmet color thing, it's just so low on my priority list and I never understood why it's so important to people over other graphical detail issues like not having mouth guards or some of the players faces being completely off.

(1) Getting a HELMET COLOR right is a lot more serious than getting a shoe string right. Congrats on your logical fallacy of false equivalence.

(2) The issue of getting the uniforms right is about the only NFL game LOOKING like the NFL. Physics and realistic football is important, but I'm an NFL fan BEFORE I'm a football in general fan. You might be different. But for me, getting the NFL right is THE most important thing. It has to FEEL like the NFL, LOOK like the NFL, and PLAY like the NFL. All three are EQUALLY important to me.


You have a different opinion. I respect that. The NFL's look and feel is not as important to you as it is to me. That doesn't mean that my desire to actually have my freaking team represented even HALF as well as some of the other ones isn't a legitimate concern. But what you fail to realize is that it ISN'T an issue that would require the vast amount of man power to fix as the engine itself, and not only that, it ISN'T EVEN THE SAME PEOPLE working on it. That means spending the time on fixing the art WILL NOT effect IN ANY WAY time spent on fixing the engine.


But what gets me here is that you belittle concerns about this NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE game not looking like the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. Go play Back Breaker or All Pro Football 2k8 if representing the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE isn't a big deal to you. But me, I want the ONLY NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE game to actually look like the NFL.

That's the thing that's going to make you buy or not buy Madden?

Madden is supposed to be an NFL game, no?

Then I expect it to look like the NFL. If I want a football physics show case without respect for the way the NFL looks and feels, I'll play back breaker.


But yes, yes it IS deal breaker, because it's been a problem for more than a decade. I want the ONLY NFL game around to represent my favorite team the way they look like in real life. No, I'm not asking for photo realism. But do you know what the 49ers name is? It's about GOLD prospectors. To not have a GOLD helmet is like not putting a bird on the Falcons helmet. It's the team's very identity. That's not some shoelace issue. It's the single most important facet of the 49ers look. It's team defining. And it's not there in Madden.

I totally understand his frustration. It may seem to some a silly reason to not buy the game, but when your favorite team is continually ignored - or at least not perfectly represented - yeah, it can be frustrating.

Thanks, but what gets me most infuriated is that it ISN'T EA that can't do it. NCAA did metallic helmets just this past year. The college game has it. Why doesn't the NFL game?

It's simple, and thus I'll try to make it just as simple for you to understand....EA Tiburon has people who work on game play, and then they have other people who work on things like uniforms; thus, in this case, TWO different departments working on different areas of the game...Follow so far? Good...

Those of us you may see here complaining about helmet colors and "shine" are also in other threads complaining about OL/DL interactions and zone coverages, for example; it is called, MULTI-TASKING....No need to have an ALL or NOTHING approach to these things....

There is a person or persons working on things like uniforms; that is what they do, regardless of what is going on with game play; thus they are not being distracted by having to do uniforms, that is their job; and while they are doing their job, the least they can do is do it correctly, comprehend? Good.

Those who work on game play should do that correctly too. Maybe with the next-gen we can see more improvements in gameplay; they sure as hell cannot say they do not have enough memory or processor speed at this point....

In case you didn't notice there, bob, EA did fix the issue with RB's hitting their own linemen and getting butt tackled; EA also adjusted all the run blocking assignments on each run play. EA made adjustments to DL play and zone play. No one is ignoring the game play over uniforms....I for one place game play at the top of the list....Uniforms are close behind because they represent the visible quality of the game, like a great paint job on a car or house shows off the most visible part of the object...
