    Re: Madden NFL 25 Impressions Thread

    How do you guys run the ball successfully? I skipped out on M13 because the infinity engine drove me crazy. Now I'm catching up but can't run the ball consistently because the players just bump and fall constantly.

      On top of the ridiculous cuts (Julian Edelman went too...among others) contract negotiations are simply horrendus. I gave Marcel Reece an initial offer valued at 2 million more than his desired contract and he went directly to free agency. Spent weeks with Eric Wood,in total giving him 5 million more than he was asking and he wouldn't take it either. I'm up to 11.1 mil from an 8.8 desired contract on the Bills TE.

      I finally found the menu with the trades for teams that aren't me. The 49ers/Colts deal wasn't listed,perhaps because it was made with the trading block or perhaps because one of my teams put in an offer.

      The twitter thing was pretty nice draft wise. Was looking into a QB for the Raiders. The projected 18th pick was getting all the news/breaking records and the projected 3rd pick wasn't mentioned at all. Paid for both their overall ratings. The 18th guy is rated 86 and the 3rd is 80.

        Be patient and don't use the sprint/acceleration button until you see a hole. If you just hold down sprint as soon as you get the ball you will play pinball w/ your linemen most of the time. Keep practicing an you'll get better

          Thanks. Patience is definitely looking like the key so far.

            I'm pretty much exclusively an online player, so I've been playing ranked matches all day. I'd say if you were curious how this game plays, it's a lot like NCAA 14.

            Which is a very bad thing.

            The run blocking is absurdly overpowered and and the defense still has the "refuses to react to commands" problem, so it's basically a whoever-has-the-ball last game. If I wasn't getting Sunday Ticket out of the deal, I'd cancel my preorder tbh.
            Bills, Sabres, Illini, Cubs, basically any team that abuses its fanbase and I'm there.

              I have an 18G early ps3 edition and it won't allow me to download the ticket claiming I do not have enough storage space. I have Nothing saved because I deleted everything on the system and even reformatted. It says I have 14/18 available for whatever reason. Any ideas would be hugely appreciated I just got home from work and this is a nightmare.
              hey man.because you have to install the game after the download you have to have the download size plus thaat amount of space and i believe wen i downloaded today it was almost 8 gb so you would need 16 gb free to download and install sorry man.if it helps i didnt even get through my first game before my ps3 ylod so i cant even play on release day lol

                Not checking stats but I'm a bit concerned about the outcomes on the NFC side of things. Only wrote down the playoffs. The AFC seems pretty good though.

                Wildcard week
                Dolphins @ Texans
                Panthers @ Redskins
                Colts @ Bengals
                Eagles @ Falcons

                Divisional week
                Bengals @ Broncos
                Panthers @ 49ers
                Texans @ Patriots
                Falcons @ Lions

                Conf. Championship

                Super Bowl
                Panthers @ Texans
                26-20 Texans

                The Giants hired a coach with a white guy for the portrait and he was black in the news feed.

                  Panthers, Eagles, and Lions making it in the same year would be really odd. No love for the NFC West in your simmed yr either

                    Aren't online games played on default All-Pro difficulty? If so, of course the game doesn't play well. Default all-madden is very enjoyable against other people so far and All-madden w/ custom sliders is even better.

                      I'm enjoying it. But I have one tiny complaint. I moved the Bills to Toronto and in my first game in Toronto I noticed on the score overlay at half time instead of saying DAL 7 - TOR 17, it said DAL 7 - CAN 17.

                      The guys at Tiburon do know that Toronto is the city and Canada is the country right? It would be like moving the a team to L.A and having it show up as USA or even CAL.

                      Oh well, small complaint but it bugs me.

                        All Madden plays well. If they could just patch this game a little bit.

                          Maybe league play will be better, I suppose.

                            Not much to add that hasnt already been stated. Im very hopeful that the game will respond well to slider adjustments and we can get a few things tightened up or fixed. Mainly the lack of a pass rush and the wide open gameplay as it pertains to passing. Played a 12 minute All-Pro default game as SF hosting Arizona and Palmer just picked me apart, I got zero pressure when blitzing and it was almost as if Palmer knew exactly where to go no matter the defense, no episodes of missing an open receiver or holding the ball too long, he simply hit the open guy every single time. I will say that my optimism is there for M25 as it seems like the core gameplay is there and some slider tweaks might make it the best of this generation.

                              I will just put this out there for people who might not know. The following sliders are gone in Madden 25:

                              Pass Rush

                              Run Reaction Time

                              Block Shed

                              Break Tackle


                              Those 4 no longer exist.

                                Seems like EA did away with records for online ranked games, now DNF%. When I do want to run some online games, I def would like to at least see the folks who quit every game. Now it's a compete toss up. I guess I'll stick to playing vs friends/leagues strictly.
