Upper left, perfect suction block as always...Potentially also poor line of pursuit.

Some of these animations look fantastic. Some don't though. Plenty of time though. We'll see.

Massive post. Hope I don't freeze any computers.

These two .gifs show a close resemblance to a double team pass block in action...What I want to see is a base 4-3 defense with no blitzers to see how the double team holds out, and I want to see from snap to end of play....As of right now we could be seeing animations set up to make a free lineman face the nearest defender, and then an animation of peeling off to take on a defender...

What I am seeing is blockers passing off blocks and picking up defenders....But I want to see how it plays out in a actual game. Hopefully the passing off of blocking responsibility is logical and not just there for looks.

Don't get me wrong - I want it to be double teaming....I am hoping for better zone defense and M2M defense too...But I need to see true game play as we would be playing...

You're seeing that because that's what it is.

That's game footage not game play.

Most of the same animations I've seen for 5+ years. Not impressed at all, but reserving judgment.

The graphics haven't mattered more than animations and AI for years. Next-gen doesn't change that.

I take it you haven't played a Madden in a while? After buying Madden 13, I can see enough good to justify a purchase of M25 (IMO).

Although many of the complaints are understandable, you almost have to look at the improvements, and see if they out weigh the negatives. With so many people pointing out every single flaw, it gives one of the days we look forward to the most, kinda of a gloomy feeling.

I've yet to buy a perfect sports game, and probably never will. ONLY when I feel a game has made NO or VERY little improvement (IMO) will I stop buying it.

Anyone can see this game will be a total different experience, which all I could ask for.

Played M13 just last night. And while there are encouraging aspects to the video - combo pass blocking ( while it may not be double team that people are looking for, it appears that OL players have a better AWR to them - seemingly adjusting on the fly- which all alone is fantastic), there are things that right away give me a nauseated feeling.

Sorry if that brings anybody down, but EA gets no leniency from me cuz "current consoles are so very hard to program for, and the tech is so limiting"!

I have no sympathy for 'em. And that "gameplay" video was underwhelming to me. They missed a chance to "wow" me with stuff like;
4 man rush with actual full on double team pass blocking. Double coverage of wide outs, tipped passes that don't "bound" straight up, Chiefs' "gunner" coverage of a TE, any TE being pressed at all, a dive at the end zone without the stupid "showboating" aspect, a true consecutive hit scenario, an allusion to a more sophisticated injury system, a ball carrier reaching for the first down or end zone line, a DB getting destroyed by a lineman (Doriandonp's clip should have had that or a quick side step by the defender who appears to be "suction blocked"), a punt that actually bounces backwards, the wind sweeping a FG attempt wide and so on and so forth.

Any of that would have "wowed" me, and I am not wowed or even excited after that video, sorry if that drags on you, but I think of it in terms of where we should already be, not oh yeah finally they got "blank".

I agree with your post! You, like everyone else makes valid points. But tell me one game that wowed you, and people will rip it to shreds.

I agree that Madden devs shouldn't get a pass for any reason, I just don't see how people can play Madden 10-13 and would consider passing on Madden 25.

Exactly...I see soooo many of the same movements, animations, suction blocking, etc. that it's just ridiculous. I understand the excitement for a new generation of hardware, but this gameplay footage shows how little seriousness EA has put into really improving the gameplay. The graphics look shinier, but that's about it. When I think of all the things Madden has done through the years on PS2 and PS3, I see nothing new here that hasn't been done before. Again, just shinier graphics.

Looks very impressive to me. But I'll wait to see actual gameplays before getting too excited.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Trailer - E3 2013: Gameplay - Xbox One & PS4

Looks damn good visually but will it play just like the same ole Madden?

Madden '06 all over again.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Trailer - E3 2013: Gameplay - Xbox One & PS4

I like how it looks MORE PHYSICAL

But I'm going to wait to see more before I start nit-picking at things

I stuck with ps2 madden until 2008. I can wait another 2 years before getting a ps4 and Madden.

That trailer didn't wow me; and besides I usually wait for a price drop anyway.
