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

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

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.

why would these companies with those qualities you mentioned take down videos they both had full intentions on using? so now they are going to hide the game and not let anyone see the actual game? laughable..............

All these emails I get from the nfl commissioner about nfl tickets and fantasy, I think it's time to reply and let him know how dissatisfied fans who can't play the game in real life are with the replication of the game by EA Sports/ madden. It think it's time for the million man madden march against the exclusive license lol

So the NCAA franchise is terminated and the follow up to that is this vid of "next gen" football?


Quit beating around the bush and just dragon punch me in the nuts Ryu style.

Why did ESPN take it down? ESPN clearly said "ask EA". Check the twitter convo someone posted. So EA wanted it down. Why? Check the reaction, it's pretty obvious.

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

Did I say it was easy? It's not easy but it's possible.

The budget? PLEASE look up how much money Madden alone makes every year. They have plenty of money. Especially since they obviously haven't been putting the money back into the game for the last 8 years right?

Who said they need to double up on staffing? Seems to me plenty of other companies are doing current gen and next gen games. I don't think they all had to double their staff. Did NBA2k double their staff? They have two very different looking games. I don't think it took twice the people to do it.

So you rather have a graphical update on a game you know is broken. Instead of them trying ot make a game that works? Well, thats you. I'd prefer them try to make a game that works from the ground up. Not try to put icing on a turd..

I played Madden 06 and it was horrible. They SHOULD'VE went from the ground up after that. But instead they put graphical changes on a broken game for 8 years and people like you are okay with it because you don't want them to **** up worse...lol.

If anything THIS was their chance to just rehash M13 for the current gen and focus FULLY on next gen since the end of the last Madden cycle. Instead of making this bull**** BROKEN current gen game that we are still waiting for a patch for while at the same time making a bull**** next gen version. But what do I know, I'm just a consumer!

that implies they forgot the reaction last week, and they don't want anyone to see their game now. that would be very odd. but at anyrate I don't know, I just think this whole thing with ESPN is wierd

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm just amazed at this to be honest with you all. I didn't think this transition to next gen would be worse then the last time. Clearly I was wrong because I don't know what the heck I just watched. I'm Disappointed and so are many others. Something clearly needs to be done because the direction of this Franchise is going downhill and fast. I've lost all hope in Madden ever even coming close to its glory days ever again.

This thread is legendary on so many levels

I read these responses and when I think of OSer's watching this video, I picture Doc from Back to the future..

It is weird.

EA provides ESPN with the footage right? They didn't give ESPN a copy of the game and tell them to play and record what happens. I highly doubt anyone in the ESPN offices is sitting with a copy of Madden making these videos. They have to be coming from EA. So how can they come from EA at some point and then all of a sudden "this isnt want we wanted to show" "this is an old build" "blah blah". EA should be in full control of what versions of the game we see and when. They can't even get that right.

WOW EA...This looks nothing like Next-Gen....Was EXPECTING an entirely "NEW AND DIFFERENT GAME!!!

This cancels any hope I have for NBA Live as well. I will avoid EA sport games for at least a few years on my ps4.

NBA Live actually looks pretty good. I've heard good things about it and there's a new Press Row Podcast about it.

Anyway, hope for Madden 25 next gen is dead as of today, but an amazing reveal of realistic player movement would do wonders for this games expectations, which right now are about the same as the expectations for MNF next week Vikings at Giants

You're making it sound like the 06 fiasco is something to be expected by default and that they are doing us some kind of favor with a damn near identical port. This is not factual. What it comes down to is we are consumers, and as consumers we are to automatically expect reasonable improvements so as to have motive to buy their product. When we don't get that its a problem, plain and simple. Some people seem to have this notion that we as consumers are supposed to cater to them when its the other way around, we owe them nothing.

Also where is the damage control from EA's PR? When videos just get pulled with no explanation and they don't put up a better video right away it looks bad... very bad.

They handled this week's video and last week's videos very badly. When ESPN's video went up last week with "bad encoding" (which should have been said when they pulled it) they should have pulled it immediately not hours later. And the EA trailer should've been put up right after to divert attention from the ESPN video.

Same thing today, the EA video for this week that's probably going up tomorrow should have been put up today. This is really, really bad PR, it's making EA look like they don't have the game close to ready. We still haven't heard an official explanation for today's ESPN video. This it just embarrassing!
