Question for those saying this is some super old build and ESPN f'd up..

Why, better yet, HOW does a huge company with a huge marketing department like EA/EA Sports not control what build they are playing on? ESPN is only the biggest name in sports. MNF is only watched by EA's exact target audience, NFL fans. The ONLY footage available is the trailers and whatever ESPN shows. So how in the hell does EA send ESPN videos from a PREE3 build and let them post them now only to take them down later?

Laughable.

Ian Cummings and that crew did a decent job puling last gen out of the fire that David Ortiz had it engulfed in. It wasn't sustained though, and even with the positive stuff, their best work still amounted to lipstick on a pig.

Infinity was also a positive development, but it amounts to nothing if a lot of the poorly designed/realized tech ported from the ps2 days remains the core of this software.

It's all speculative at this point still, of course, but it makes me wonder what the hell was meant by the "We learned from last gen, and we're way beyond that joke this time around" stuff.

Thanks for the video.

But why are all these videos showing so much zoomed in game play? Man I wish we could get 2K8 animations! Madden Next Gen does not look like it's off to a great start at all. It looks a tad better then current gen. This makes me so sad to think what could have been

Do the EA developers really think that is good enough for Next Gen?

What a joke this is becoming!

I think this is a smart and conservative move by EA. Current gen Madden is flawed...yes but it isn't a bad game by any means. Now think back 8 years ago when we were in for a surprise at the 360 launch. That was a bad game!!! Not to mention we lost all features and game modes from previous gen. Why? Because EA built a brand new game and engine from the ground up. Genesis to PSX (PS1)... Madden 96 was so bad in was never released on PSX that year. Why? They tried to built from scratch. The only smooth transition they've ever had was from PS1 to PS2. Building from ground up has been proven risky for EA. They've put a lot into the current Madden over the last 8 years this gen and I would hate for them to start all over again. I'd rather them play it safe, give us a soild, complete game and the possibilities will be endless over the life of next gen. Just watch. IMO they just gave themselves a huge headstart on Madden 15 which will probably be the first true next gen version of the game. Consider Madden NFL 25 a great foundation for a new beginning. Much better than Madden 06 was.

You can't be serious... people set the bar so damn low. I would LOVE for them to start all over again.

Step 1) Get the rules of the game implemented properly.

Would it be a relief if madden is pulling a show from 07 - 08. Where 07 was a port of the ps 2 and then 08 was what we basically have today. Could maddens 2nd team be hard at work at a true next gen game to be released next year?

This actually would make sense considering Kolbe is leading next gen Madden so its possible. However, based on Madden's track record it seems nearly too good to be true.

So now Madden has a secret 2nd team working behind the scenes on the true next gen game..



Love this forum.

Maybe not a second team but what if madden 25 is a port and madden 15 is the true next gen. If the show can do it why can't madden?

Watching this makes me feel even better about not buying a PS4/Xbox One at launch. At this point, I'm good with the games I have on PS3/360 and will likely just buy a 3DS XL and play all of the great games that are available on that handheld.

So yeah, I was not impressed with this video.

Didn't they already have a team working on next gen and they came up with M25?

If the show can do it why can't madden?

That is the billion dollar question my friend.. if so many others in the video game industry can do it, why can't EA?

My answer: They can and simply choose not to. The technology is there, the money is there, the time is there.

You think its easy don't you? You don't realize they would basically have to make the same game twice in one year if they started from the bottom. I don't think any company has the budget for that dude. Just because its a next gen release year doesn't mean they get to double up on stafffing. All I saying is this....I'd rather have a graphical upgrade on the same game than a complete abomination of a re-written code. engine etc. You must have never played Madden 06 on 360 huh? Man EA is still rebounding from that!!!! 8 YEARS LATER!!!! LOL

Just like the pre-render for 06. Can't believe anything these guys say. Pretty sad actually.

Of course this is (was) next gen footage LOOK AT THOSE BLADES OF GRASS! (that no one that plays video games anywhere cares about)

Now don't get me wrong i'm personally pretty satisfied with Madden 25 on 360 because i play it sparingly and slideritis takes up most of my time. Only gripe i have with the graphics is that its too bright and makes the game look more like a cartoon than it does lifelike. But this is getting crazy, knowing what power that the new consoles are capable of and this is what were seeing a month before release? They should have stuck to the fake stuff. While EA could be trying to pull off the biggest dupe in history its unlikely. It just might be time for a new team of devs OR maybe someone(s) in the higher offices are shutting down some very groundbreaking ideas coming from them. But as consumers know literally nothing about what goes on behind those doors past what they let them show. The fact that they had the nerve to watermark the original videos as "Actual in game footage" is and should be insulting. There has to be some corner cutting going on somewhere, the majority of the focus has been on things that are almost meaningless to the reason of the games purchase, like new and still slow menus extra attributes in CFM like physical grade and size and intangibles that do nothing whatsoever but add overkill to ratings (i.e. Josh Freeman 77-79 but in CFM he's an 88?) being a Bucs fan that makes me sad to see something so silly. And lord that god awful dynamic player performance that i'm not getting into. At this point most you can do is hope to the gaming gods that with the addition of (some) of the NCAA team for a decent improvement. If not oh well the game will still get bought and they still make their money.

This is exactly why i made a promise to myself to not dump my pockets for a PS4 until April or later when i'm confident that The Show is most likely gonna make people lose their minds. and I just plain didnt plan on spending an extra $100 to have a Kinect forced on me that i'd never use once and wont be able to sell for $100 on top of not having a MLB game to play.
