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

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

The line play definitely is a step up. With that said it SEEMS scripted. I can't say for sure without seeing extensive footage, but it still seems scripted. If you get that speed rush animation, you know the guy is going to hit the ground. If you get a different animation you know you have a shot. I'd like to see some of the same animations with different outcomes.

We all know the QB animations are just horrendous so no need to go into that anymore.

I really like how the helmets move now with contact. Pretty cool detail. I wish the head tracking was better and players looked around more. I really liked how RGIII looked in the E3 trailer. Sad to see that wasn't real. I thought player sense would add to this but, it seems like it was scaled back.

Honestly I think this whole game was scaled back from what they wanted originally.

Where do you guys find these gifs?...Sometimes they are more entertaining than the topic of he thread.

I don't know how to put in these gifs either... but if someone can find the gif of the black dude who opens his fridge in excitement and makes a fantastic disappointed face 'cause the fridge is empty. I'd be forever thankful! :P

9 years wasn't enough time I guess, give me a break, this kind of pandering is tiresome.

Reading posts from guys who are consumers having to apologize and spin for the dev team is cringe worthy. Let them do it themselves.

exactly. it really makes no sense to me. Stockholm Syndrome

Eh it's more of what I expected, can't really determine anything other than that I've seen that edge rush animation play one too many times. And when will I see one where the rusher actually gets to the quarterback? Still patiently waiting for straight gameplay no teasers(if you can call it that). Although I don't see myself being overwhelmed by it when the teasers which are supposed to be the most exciting are so very underwhelming.

He mentions the crowd again, I look behind the play and see like 5 of the same person just on glance...

I love how the players helmets move around like that. Is this game going to be perfect, no. I am really happy with the improvements I see though. I don't care as much about graphics as I do game play. The OL/DL interactions look much better. That and footplanting are the two biggest foundational things that need to be right. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I will be playing Madden 25 on my Xbox1 on Nov 22nd though. Can't wait

9 years? Where did you get 9 years from? It's been two, and for Rex it's only been 1. With that being said Rex STILL took accountability for where the game is at right now even though he had nothing to do with it. If you're going to blame Rex for the last 9 years then I guess you have to give Mike Singletary credit for the 49ers making the Super Bowl last year too.

Jp. Glad you're convinced. 2 years in development and the game looks like crap. Not to mention Monster Tom Brady and Monster Joe Flacco...

So authentic and true to the game.

What are you talking about??? The only reason it looks that way is because he has white sleeves and a white jersey his arms just look big. Look at his right arm... it's normal size! It's just the angle that makes it look like he is on steroids.

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

Nothing sim about pre scripted line animations, why does every double team block look the same, the guy getting blocked also does the same thing smh head moves back then body leans to the side. seen the same exact animation in every blocking vid released this is bad

How many Devs have we seen in this same 9 years. I agree that EA and this madden game shouldbe light years ahead of what we are getting now but the guys that are in chargeof the development now can’t be blamed for the state Ortiz, Strauser, Cummingsor the 2-3 other devs left the game in.

I absolutely hated Madden from about 2008 until 2012…I’d buyit every year…play it for a month then be sick of it. Slowly they have been able to improve thegame and when I say slow I mean SLOW. Isit the game today that I envisioned 9 years ago?…Not even close but what I’vealso came to realize is that EA the corporation does not have the same visionthat most of us have or even many of their own developers have about the game . That’s why I think we have seen so muchturnover and devs coming and going. IMO EAstymies a developers creativity…We need to look no further than 2K’s Mike Wangwho once was an EA employee on NBA Live. He left after one year. Not surewhy he left but my personal guess is he felt like he could express his artistryand creativity without obstacles with his current employer and not at EA.

So now that I feel like I have a better understanding on whyMadden isn’t where I want it to be I have a choice to just never play footballgames or find a way to enjoy the game and hopefully have some way to provideinformation that might impact future iterations of the game. Let’s face it that NFL exclusivity is not goingto change anytime soon so hoping 2K comes back seems pointless. I’ve come to grips with the fact that Maddenwill always pretty much be exactly like it is with small incremental changes. Back in the day I used to lead the charge in “lets boycott EA…Ihate EA” rhetoric but once you start thinking of this as more of a business andrealize that EA knows they can turn a strong profit without spending more moneythan they need to it becomes more and more understandable why we are where weare.
