Madden NFL 25 Next Gen Video - War in the Trenches & Passing Pockets (QJB)

Re: Madden 25 Next Gen PS4 Gameplay War In the Trenches

Awww man this is just depressing... How come they show the same "pass rushing" animation all 3 times (1 on the videos by Clint and 2 now by QJB) if they have 300?!?!?

The only thing that makes me think the pass rush can be even a bit effective in NG is for cpu pass rushing, since the QB is user controlled, the user might be less prone to step up in the pocket when appropriate thus allowing DE's to get to them.

On the other side, I hope to gawd awareness plays a role on cpu qb's stepping up :/

just like they had 430 catching animations in 13. although i always saw the same 3...... lol they just lie. thats what it comes down to now.

Rex Dickson told everyone what was and wasn't going to be in the game. He mentioned at least 5 times in his interview with Sim Perspective, that animation quality is not where it needs to be yet, as well as physics and that they are working to improve them.

The things that they did work on this year, they are just laying the foundation for them, they laid the foundation for the o/d line, true step, player sense AI, living worlds, now they will keep improving them each year.

I know how people like to complain about how bad the game is, but if that is the case, don't you think it will take more than one cycle for them to fix everything?

We've seen more improvement from Madden 13 to Madden 25 next gen, in core gameplay than we did from Madden 06-12.

I understand there's a lack of trust, but let's at least give them more than one cycle to fix EVERYTHING.

Blocking is definitely improved. The throwing animation looks horrendous. The graphics look nice. Would like to see current equipment (Nike gloves). Definitely a port.

The QB footwork/throwing is terrible

Asked him about the DE move if it happens everytime.

I hope that the DE breaking off the line quickly animation doesnt always lead to him being pushed to the ground at the last second right before he gets to the QB, because at 1:14 you see Geno Smith really didnt have to move up into the pocket since the DE was already on his way down to the ground.

Re: Madden 25 Next Gen PS4 Gameplay War In the Trenches

I'll pass on the $10 upgrade to next gen and trade in toward something else. I'm usually a guy who can look past the little short comings but god this is unacceptable.

-Brady hunchback / horrible throwing motion

-Awkward warping of the ball into the receivers hands. In that same clip is another glimpse into the "Living Worlds"

-0 next gen graphics wow factor

EA knows how to tick off their remaining fan base


Edit: Will they hit their Madden '06 aspirations on PS5? #DatNextGenBlob

Re: Madden 25 Next Gen PS4 Gameplay War In the Trenches

I just want to see some pure gameplay. I've seen enough teasers and promo vids. Now they give this you tube guy the greenlight to rehash the promo vids Lol. this next gen move has been like pulling teeth to see what we're getting. Not just from EA either. What's the deal?

o/d line- fine.. looks improved

true step - only applies to 2 players.

Player sense - don't know what to think other than running backs avoiding players and tip-toeing on the sideline (an animation that was in the game years ago

living worlds - ??? but at this point doesn't look too good.


Is this really all they are capable of in 2 years?.... oh wait now they werent working on it for 2 years only a couple months.. nvm.

Re: Madden 25 Next Gen PS4 Gameplay War In the Trenches

that geno smith clip around 1:20 was the main problem i have with madden. the change of direction is too fast for players and doesnt take into account their weight or momentum. i like that he sensed the pressure and stepped up in the pocket, but it happened too fast. he didnt have to put any pressure on his back leg to step up. he just immediately was going forward.

hopefully they can fix that eventually. players never seem to have any real weight to them in madden i think thats why it looks so weird the way they move.

the graphics look ok in terms of textures but man brady is way too bulky he is tall and skinny irl. i know they want to show the flak jacket and stuff but its always way over-emphasized.

We have? We haven't even seen Game-play of Madden 25 NG... But let's take a deeper look... Shall we??

Seems like a lot of suction by the oline still and still no sacks?

Re: Madden 25 Next Gen PS4 Gameplay War In the Trenches

I just want to see 1 drive from a normal gameplay angle. I don't need a trailer to tell me what to look for specifically.

update: based on youtube comments, gamplay videos are "coming soon"
