Madden NFL 25 Video - MNF Simulation: Colts vs. Chargers (Xbox One)

Re: Madden NFL 25 Video - MNF Simulation: Colts vs. Chargers (Xbox One)

Finally watched it on my Laptop and man, I must say, every time ESPN releases a video.....the game looks like a PS2 game.

Is this just their encoding or truly what the game looks like? I'm not expecting CG levels of visuals here, but the "in-game" trailer they released during E3 the game looked pretty good. Even the video of Adrian Peterson they had on IGN during E3 of AP running around looked 10xs better then this current video.

It's not even the visuals that baffle me, but it's the animations and the way the game looks to be moving. It's almost like it came out of the PS2 era.

EA needs to come out and tell us what's going on.

let me be captain Obvious for a moment...If they zoomed out and let you see 11 on 11 play...then you might not buy it...Duh

Its like a decent looking chick jumpin in the sack with you knowing she got some real messed up feet...She gonna hide them damn feet cause she knows they look like somebody dropped a sack of nickels on them...She don't want to kill your vibe with her Hammer Time Feet.

We saw some runs on a practice field that looked eerily similar to current gen, even back then. I'm confused as to why people keep bringing that vid up? It showed nothing next gen to me. The graphics were better, and the running animations were a smidgen better. It's not like they showed something completely different from what we're seeing in these trailers.

Because imo it looked like it played smoother and better than what ESPN is showing now. No it didn't blow anyone away but as an early build I didn't expect it to regress. It just makes me suspect something isn't right

What i'm saying is, if you zoomed in on that video, sped it up and added some lighting, it would look like these trailers we're getting.

I think people are just stuck on the fact that it was zoomed out, 11 v. 11 gameplay, albeit only running plays.

If you put some passing plays in that E3 vid and zoomed it in, guys would have had the same reactions they do now with these ESPN vids.

yeah I hear what you're saying, but I never gave the impression that it looked good or bad. My point is very simply is that it looks different than what we're seeing now.

The quarterback pass releases seem way too fast, why would they speed them up any more than they already were on current gen? Also, like somebody else said Rivers has a unique throwing motion that obviously will not be included in this game, but somehow they include guys like Trent Edwards throwing motions.

That's when you know it's bad, when people wish they had what was shown in the E3 tech demo over what the game is like now.

Don't know if this has been posted, yet, but here is a remark from former Developer, Phil Fraizer, on Twitter, who doesn't have any ties to EA anymore.

For what it's worth, twittering with Owen Good, the writer of the Kotaku article earlier:

Owen Good @owengood 3h
I honestly—hand to God—thought ESPN had screwed up this morning, and used Xbox 360 Madden footage, calling it Xbox One.

Phil Frazier @Fillycheze 3h
@owengood This is not far from reality. EA probably marked it as X1 footage by mistake. Pulled it because it's not. That's 360 for sure.

@owengood That footage is clearly 360. My guess is the capture team didnt realize they had to use X1. It was probably pulled for that reason

I see your point. I guess I just disagree. I don't the the E3 vids animated this poorly. The game I have right now on my 360 animates better than the ESPN vids. I actually like M25 and I'm disappointed in the ESPN vids (graphics aside)

Yeah, jpdavis posted this earlier in the thread. Thanks for the heads up though.

I skipped all 11 pages hoping that by now it would have been cleared up and this was mistakenly labeled next gen but is really current gen. But seriously?! THIS is next gen? WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT HERE

Re: Madden NFL 25 Video - MNF Simulation: Colts vs. Chargers (Xbox One)

I just wonder if ESPN is using the final build or a prototype of M25 because the MNF videos do not look like the trailer videos at all. There are obviously two different games being shown. Perhaps the E3 videos were from a PC build and later the XOne hardware turned out less powerful than they expected and M25 had to be detuned from the earlier build. OR EA pulled another switcharoo and baited everyone with CGI videos only to reveal the real M25 which is a port of current gen. It is odd that they have pulled the videos,, it does not look good. I would rather they pull M25 all together like they did NBALive than to have a next gen wreck that is a waste of money, even if it is only a 10$ upgrade. Just yank M25 next gen and start over until it merits the next gen badge!
