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

[HenryClay1844]

Cheer up Madden Fans, I only really was interested in FIFA, and they've shown us a grand total of one 1:30 trailer and a few interviews. But hey, our crowds look good!

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

These dang gifs are hilarious...I don't even care what the post sais because the gifs often speak louder than words...Is there some dang gif warehouse?..I need the link

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.

Coming in to make basically this same exact post. Line play looks much better. QB throwing motion looks the same as it has. Helmet "physics" is a really cool addition. Although you might not see it much in real time speed. I have to say it was a much better video than yesterdays.

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.

they over-exaggerate the pads under the uniforms, and it makes the players look huge.

His shoulder pads are huge in-game but not anywhere near that irl. and it should almost look like he isnt even wearing pads on his torso but that looks huge too. i get that they want to show that they have pads under the uniforms but they go overboard with it.

@EA unpaid PR team:

I'm talking about the Madden GAME. They have been making it this generation for 9 years, and released 9 games.

I don't care who is in charge now, then, or in the future, I am a CONSUMER.

If you guys want to keep re starting the clock every time someone gets fired that's on YOU!!

9 years.

Next gen will be their 10th bite of the apple in 9 years. With the added advantage of all this power and "building" on their current foundation, laying future groundwork, stepping in the right direction......zzzzzzzzz

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

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

AMEN...you had me until you said....Xbox1 lol

Listen to this guy. He is a Jet fan if anyone know about having expectations followed by continual disappointment it's him. I agree with the 10 apple bites. eventually you get to the core.

Of course we don't want to, but the only way this game is ever going to get where we want it, is for it to become a simulation game.

This game right now is in a transition and it's transforming itself from a arcade based game to a simulation game. That transformation isn't happening over night. What's happened in the past is done and over with. I'm living in the present and right now, we are in a transition stage. Everyone wants this game to be something that it cannot be in the amount of time people expect.

You can't go from one person's vision to the next and the next and so on like Madden has and expect consistent results.

Most sports games have had the same people leading them for years and years, Madden has not had that. Until we have a team in place going after a consistent and clear goal, which is what we have right now, the game will never get where we want it.

Games like FIFA and NBA, NHL, they have had years and years of the same people in charge of their games and been working on specific goals and direction.

We haven't even scratched the surface of where this game is about to go.

I see what you are saying, but I really think that it has to do with the camera position and angle. Look at the video of Geno Smith stepping up and then throwing. I think the pads look fine on him, also I think that his throwing motion looks pretty damn good.

Is it only me that thinks that the animations and graphics look much smoother?

I agree with you.

At this point we are 14 days away from release/launch. Are the videos really gunna sway anyone to buy or not buy this game that was already planning or not planning too. I will get the game and formulate my own 1st hand opinion.

If the highlighted additions function properly and they've corrected some other bugs in CCM personally I would consider that a good game.

Of course it is not just you, see this is why I don't take some people on these forums seriously. People say they want players to move more realistic and more like say BackBreaker, but then people complain because the player models and shoulder pads aren't realistic enough. Do the player models and shoulder pads in BB look realistic?

I personally want realistic player movement, then they can go get exact measurements of the shoulder pads for all 32 teams if they want.
