Only you can decide that. Read the reviews for yourself and make a decision.

If you liked M13, it's a definite buy. If you passed on M13, check reviews and try the game out before buying. It's just Madden 13 Version 2.0.

I saw something online saying you could pre order at Best Buy and return it for $45 before October 5th. Hopefully thats the case because I plan on doing that then just waiting for Next Gen

If the defense gets fixed, buy, if not, skip.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure they aren't going to touch this madden. Maybe 1 small patch with only a little in it. They will focus on Next Gen Madden and Ultimate Team only from here on out. Actually, that was quite clearly ther focus all of Madden 25. BIG flaws will keep me away for the first time ever...

Will next gen Madden be any different than current gen?

Great advice. I feel the exact same way. 1st Madden I wont buy.

Yes, but probably only a little. I doubt it'll be "good". These people (EA) don't understand football. So if you like high scoring, unrealistic stats, unrealistic gameplay, then you would enjoy this game. It's kind of like a toned down NFL Blitz. But if you like realism, skip. I won on the hardest difficulty possible without throwing a single pass. Averaged over 10 yards per carry with QB and running back. Had 450+ yards rushing.... And the run defense cannot be set to any harder difficulty.

I have season pass and I have to say I like what I see so far. Connected careers is pretty good, not great, but improved from last year. I like the owner mode where you can now make the financial decisions and have the ability to relocate the team.
Online play is pretty good. It is still fairly easy to score but its not impossible to stop the opposing team. Running the ball is a bit too easy but the passing game can be difficult because one mistake usually results in an interception.
Overall, once you include what will be the best mode will be in Ultimate Team, I think it will be worth the buy.

Agreed. I loved M13, and the addition of Connected Franchise makes Madden 25 a must buy.

If you want something to tide you over until the next gen version drops then I'd say its a definite buy...The Gamestop/Amazon deals gets you $50 on trade in anyway so IMO its a win.

I wasnt going to buy current gen but I'll probably get it now after playing the early release. There is good and bad but the good outweighs the bad IMO.

Defense is fixed by Sliders and a little house rules. Check out my sliders and I recommend playing "no switch" defense. You'll enjoy the game much better.

Re: Madden 25-skip or buy?

The defense can always be better in Madden but they do give you a lot of tools to work with...Granted there is rarely enough time pre snap to make umteen adjustments but just like in real life you have to pay attention to your opponents tendencies and make the right defensive call. Can't blitz 24-7 or stay in zone...gotta mix it up...

And to be honest the defensive individual assignments are very good...i.e. shade in/out, disguise bump and run etc...rolling the zone coverage...Its all in there you just gotta spend time getting comfortable with the tools

Do you mean not clicking on and manually attempting to make plays?...If so...that has to be the craziest suggestion I've ever heard.

$50 trade? Where did you see that?
