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

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

I agree and feel the same way. I don't think all those things worked great though. I remember many things frustrating me when I had Madden 06 for PS2. By then I was starting to want a more realistic game. I still didn't mess with sliders. I played default All-Pro. HA HA.

Touche'!



Yeah, now that you mention it, some of that stuff I mentioned didn't work "as advertised" but the folks here at OS / "Workarounds R Us" MADE them work, and the devs (unwittingly?) gave us the "tools" to do so...

Personally, I would HAPPILY trade graphics for gameplay and limitless CUSTOMIZATION...

PERIOD



I was hoping M25 was going to be a "Greatest Hits" of all the features (that were properly implemented at one time or another) FINALLY being "under one roof", and that's NOT the case...

I (naively) HOPE that NEXT Gen (PS4 / XBOX1) FINALLY has the space available to give us ALL of it and let us decide what we want to use in OUR games...

Heck, as much as I HATED the Vision Cone (fire away, peoples!), I do think those who want it should have that option (toggle on / toggle off, anyone?)...

Is it me or does anyone else notice the referees missing in all the videos. Remember when the current gen systems came out, it took almost 3 years before EA decided to incorporate refs into the game.. I bet this will be another watered down version.

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

It looks like that club/rip animations where the DE falls to the ground is just a canned animation, and if that's the case that's disappointing. If you watch the one EA released with Anthony Spencer on the Cowboys, it the same exact result just different players. So are these 300 new pass rush animations gonna have an effect on the game or are they just for show?

What? lol.

EVERY offensive tackle in the NFL will try to push the DE past the QB if they beat off the snap.

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

THE COWBOY Did it almost 2 years ago...and we haven't had it in the game.



but we should be careful what we ask for.... they might spam that animation in our faces..like the David Tyree SuperBowl catch.

That David three catch animation was horrendous. Literally a once in a lifetime catches happened 5 times a game in Madden.

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

madden got a lot work on but here what ill say this is my last madden ill buy if this not fix

madden 11 team play hardly even got booted
madden 12 didnt like so didnt really play so i can say
madden 13 if u creat a community in madden and do team play 1vs3 2vs3 3vs3 etc any combination me and my friend in madden 13 got booted almost every game say we play 10 games on sunday 9/10 we get booted either i or he would every game

we played on xbox 360 since xbox screw me over aug i got a ps3 and will be getting ps4 at launch

i understand **** happen will u get boot but how many time we got booted every week very rare we could finish 1 dam game together

we play tons games togehter nfs undercover cod boarderlands 2 aliens colinal marines halo reach halo wars halo 4 gears of war 2 gears of war 3 etc we either play co op or just play online against other people its sad when we cant stay in more then 1 game when we play 10 games on suday both our connections are great any other game we get booted very rare

we try be number 1 in team play and thats imposible when he or i get booted every game we dont care if we lose we fight till the end all i want is stay in a dam game togehter and work as team mate and find a way to stop the other team

this the main reason im kinda secound guessing if i should even get madden i love football and since madden only game out there will have get it but if madden have bad connection for team play i wont buy madden again assuming they do renew the nfl license

The issue isn't the tackle pushing the end past the QB, the issue is if the DE falling on his *** animation plays every time it happens in game.

Everything looks good...But I do agree that they could clean up the QB throwing motions...in this day and age it really should be the standard to have player specific signature QB animations and throwing motions.

Also instead of shjowing me Tom Brady having a day and a half in the pocket...let me see a DE or DT blow him up one time or come off the edge and make a play.

Its amazing that 2k and even nba live are able to have some kind of signature jumpshot for every player in the league yet ea is unable to put different throwing animations in the game. There's only 32 starting qbs in the league, it really shouldn't be difficult considering there are 150 starters in the nba that have a signature jumpshot in 2k. The jumpshots may night be perfect and they might be repeated jumpshots but imo its harf to replicate a jumpshot than a throwing motion.

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

I'm cool with animations, I just want them to be fluid and based off of ratings.

Exactly. Not so sure what wasn't clear about what I said smh.

[dat boi Q]

These madden threads are always entertaining
I am getting the ps4 day one and I promise myself no more buying half ***, buggy, wait for next year games.
I will not buy madden or any other game that is not worth 60 In my eyes.
I think it's shameful we already have to talk about next and this game isn't even out yet.

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

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.

JP, sorry but you defended Madden then you bashed Madden like us now you defend Madden again. Which one is it?

Please don't bring up simulation. In one of those interviews Rex was asked a question. His answer to the question said they couldn't put this or that in the game because of tournament players... With that being said you can't say they are going for a true simulation game. These guys at best are trying for a hybrid... If you are going simulation you aren't going to say that you won't put something that happens in the NFL not in the game because of tourney players. Take the blinders off man. This team might be going more simulation, but they aren't going simulation.

Don't forget in that same interview he sounded like QB animations weren't a main focus. He said he wanted to nail the animations down before getting into signature throwing animations... Why would they not work on those at the same time? Those should be hand and hand... Makes no sense to fix throwing motions just to add signature styles later... Throwing motions should be different... Not generic... Doesn't make sense why they aren't hand and hand, just doesn't...

Yep you can't say you want a simulation of the NFL then proceed to say you can't add something from the NFL because it would hurt tournament players. Sorry, but that isn't simulation.

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

Alright, before the piling on continues to keep piling on, I do know that JP get's his sources from Twitter. He is constantly asking the CGer's(and these are well respected CGer's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) the questions and doubts we have at OS.

These are the answers they are giving him. For instance, I noticed one person, state didn't you listen to the podcast, Rex said they are building a foundation of game play first and then adding in the bits and pieces around the foundation.

That maybe Groundhog Day over and over again for all of us, but, until another developer or team comes in, we aren't changing the way the have their game plan set.

It's discouraging how slow the process is, no doubt.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to take what someone says that has an in with EA seriously. They have to be careful with what they say. They aren't going to be completely honest, why? Because they want to remain a gamechanger.
