Played four games. The game plays pretty good on All-Madden (way to easy on All-Pro), pass coverage and defense overall better than NCAA 14's. Madden 25 is a decent game, should be even better with the release build and some sliders.

My biggest problem with the gameplay is the lack of animations, it's 2013 and we still see the same old catch and tackle animations over and over and over again makes the game get very predictable and boring real fast! And whoever said the commentary is good in this game is a damn lie! I'm not excited for this game (current gen Madden 25) but I am looking forward to the next-gen version, I really want to see WAY more catch and tackle animations, better a.i., and more realistic fluid movement is what I will be looking for in the next-gen version.

8 years on the 360/PS3 and they still can't get the movement to look fluid.

I wish they weren't bringing the Infinity engine over to Next-Gen. Ignite is obviously just a graphical facelift.

They need a brand new movement/tackling/physics/collision engine.



So depressing.

I watched next gen AP running the ball footage and it looked even more atrocious then current gen. Looked even more hyper speed and unnatural. There was one tackle where AP leveled the guy but still shot back 5 yards!! LOL

mini first impressions

Pros-
- improved cut scenes before and during the game
- improved sidelines
- improved replays
- slightly improved announcers
- slightly improved AI
- improved TD celebrations

Cons
-Overpowered user running backs (might be overpowered to show off new moves)
-too many close ups
-close ups are way too close

If you are commenting about me.. I'm not ripping people for liking it. I wish I did. I am also not ripping anyone else about their opinion. I even helped a member try to get his demo to work that was freezing. I'm just giving my impressions and i think EA should be ashamed of themselves for the trash they have released this gen. This was once my all time favorite game and i haven't liked it in years.

I echo everything you just said i grew up on madden playing day in and day out i remember when defense mattered when ray lewis was on the cover. When you could actually shut people down.

Madden 05 was probably the best Madden of all time. Crazy we got that and 2K5 that year for 20.00 bucks. I'm just salty to see Madden keep sucking. I feel like it's a crock that they can't make it play right. Come on man!!! It played right on weaker systems. It's done to appeal to the casuals. 48-35 online games, player ratings not mattering, teams playing all alike.

This is definitely the best Madden on current gen, unfortunately that's not good enough for most people and I understand that.

I am trying not to drop the "its just a demo, wait till game, its just the ga,e wait till patch, its just a patch, wait still second patch" routine. I am not impressed with the demo. I felt Madden 12 and Madden 13 had cleaner gameplay than NCAA 12 and NCAA 13. Not seeing that here.

My biggest gripe isn't the run blocking, because I fully expected that. I assume they just copy and pasted coding from NCAA on that one. My grippest gripe is with the coverage. I don't understand why coverage has taken so many steps back. NCAA 12 had awesome zone coverage out the box and I guess guys must have complained about that or something because now only a couple zone coverages are ever a viable option. They need to bring DEFENSE back into these games, especially Madden.

I've always had more faith in the Madden team than NCAA, to be honest, so I have to hope that a number of issues were fixed. I don't want to start another "THE GCs FAILED US" conversation but, man, I just don't know how guys are playing this and telling the public good things. What I am playing right now is not "sim" in the least bit....

Of course I am still buying day one, I just hope they changed a heck of a lot in retail...

NO defense? i played a half and was down 13-3 i was picked off once i picked rogers off and stopped the cpu a couple times, and i whole hardly disagree with you rin blocking has improved i can run up the middle now i dont haveto run the stretch play and have the fastest back in the game and when i get in the hole ( yes the lineman made a hole for me!) i can cut it off a guard or tackle who is on the second level, if thats not run blocking i dont know what is.......i swear i think some people just love to complain about un sim the GAME isnt and enjoy what the game has to offer, just my thoughts. my only beef with it is that camera angle to start off i will changing that

JP, Did you like Madden 10?? I thought that one was by far the best of the gen. What did you think of 11? that was the worst to me.

Love the field degradation. Lambeau was a mess after the 4th. It's very similar to NCAA's degradation, but a lot more divots and tears. Very nicely done.

Cut scenes are decent but totally not digging the coach cuts scenes where they are the only person in the picture, zero background images of players or anything behind them. I guess they're off alone, by themselves somewhere?

Hate the new camera angle as others do to, wayy to far back, at least for me.

The sideline reporter after the half is nice, she talked about coach wanting to make adjustments and whatnot. Hopefully these are varied and stay relevant. It's also nice to see real clips of plays for the half, other than those stupid canned-cut scenes of players flexing their bicep over and over.

End of the game features a play of the game which is nice.

Other than that, feels exactly like '13. Will not pick this up but will without a doubt get the nex-gen version.
