Madden NFL 25 vs. Madden NFL 06: It is Different This Time

[ManiacMatt1782]

The transition will be 100x times better this time around. I have a feeling sports games are gonna do a lot better on these next consoles.

Only because it might not actually be possible to screw it up any worse than they did back then

nice article and to the final statement. LET'S HOPE SO! it's long overdue and all of us who have shelled out 120 bucks per year for EA football games this generation deserve not only a treat, but a damn tasty treat.

It better be different!!!!!!!

[cattlekiller]

Something that hasn't changed and maybe never will(in my lifetime) is the Players online.
American Football is arguably the most team oriented sport in the world.
But yet when we play the game online we play one vs one.
Sure there is team play that has three vs three, but I would say most people buy madden for connected career/franchise/season mode.
Hockey has a full team option for online season play.
In madden you cant even be traded to the same team in superstar connected career.

im just saying it looks different but. looks likes it play the same when I seen the M25 xbox 1 demo!! lets hope they prove me wrong! watch out for EA smoke & Screen PLay!!!!!! lol

Just watched the E3 demo with the Vikings vs Seahawks. Not impressed as it looks like the 360 version with improved graphics. The kicking meter is still a joke. Why even make the consumer kick when it is automatic in the game? Even the cut scenes are the same. Time to get another company with the NFL license as they rehash everything and sell it like it is Revolutionary

Pretty sure that is the 360 version. The only next gen gamplay they have release is the peterson practice session.

ppl need to stop hating on madden, yes it has had it's issues through the years, what game hasn't? next gen is going to be the truth, all the haters are going to see, even the interviewer in the new e3 vid, summed it up and said current gen has gone as far as it can. comments im seeing across the board seems like more ppl want it to fail then strive. better get ya game up!

Based on the NCAA demo for 14 on this generation, I'm sure NG will be better.

I've never played an EA football demo as long as I have with NCAA.

Alot of these sports games nowadays feel like they practically play themselves. If I'm (supposedly) in control of my player that's highlighted, why does it feel like I'm not ?

The focus went to much towards 'looking' like the real thing, in effect taking the control away from the player.

I think it's a bit presumptuous to think next-gen Madden 25 is instantly going to be a superb game from the get-go. Hardly any gameplay has been released apart from an in-game trailer and the Adrian Peterson footage from IGN. We have every right to question what we hear before we see proof of it in motion.

Yes, it's reassuring that the game's fully featured and equivalent in specs to its PS3/360 iterations, even going so far as to bring new things to the table...but at this stage, I'm unsure of how much of an improvement it'll actually be and skeptical of how these new ideas will be implemented in year one.

At this time I think it's best to wait until August, September or October before coming to conclusions on how much of an improvement next-gen Madden 25 will be.

yeah Madden 25 is going to be in saine and great. Can't wait!

The Madden 25 launch is guaranteed to be better than the Madden 06 launch.

How can I guarantee such a thing? Easy, there is literally no way it could be worse.

[thbends]

MOST SHOCKING..... I have not seen that trailer since it first came out. At the end of this console I have to say it was pretty damn close to what the game ended up being like.

Re: Madden NFL 25 vs. Madden NFL 06: It is Different This Time

I agree with the sentiment that the launch should not be as disastrous, but in no way am I going to crown EA. Madden has been a poor game for years, in my opinion, so I'm going to wait quite a while before trying to purchase Madden for the next-gen. I haven't since '10 and EA needs to regain my confidence in this product.
