Madden NFL 25 Next Gen Video - The Prototype (QJB)

[life4eva]

Looks Good, this might be my third game I pick up for the PS4.

People can say what they want, things can always be better but I look at life with the cup half full. I like current Gen madden and this looks better so Win Win for Me

peace

Not everyone on the sideline watch the ball. Just saying!

check my post on page 4, I know this. im referring to how BARE and lifeless the sideline is.

Some people YES! I mean complaining that too many fans are wearing the same number jersey?! or not all the players on the sideline are following the play?! Really?! Who gives a crap! I want solid gameplay addressed first and foremost, not what the fans look like.

It's like EA is trying to add all these new features but not making an effort to make the feature work to what it should be. 2k did the same thing with baseball, tried to implement too many new features in one development cycle before having them actually work and the game as a whole failed. While some parts were spot on in 2k baseball like the presentation and announcing, too many other "incomplete" new features failed and brought the game down. To me EA is on this same path, we see glimmers of hope but something inevitably brings the game to a screeching halt!

To me the only team that got this right was SCEA with The Show.

But we aren't getting good gameplay either????????

I assure you, if we were being shown an improvement in gameplay or anything gameplay related the attention would be averted from some of these secondary things.

As of right now, we haven't seen any positives with regards to gameplay either though, what do you really expect at this point?

Then he must've won the Taco Bell PS4 "Get it early" contest.......

No, he played it while he was down there and recorded some footage, he got permission from someone at EA to post them and then chose to post them. He posted about this on Twitter today.

Feels like their needs to be more equipment on the sideline as well. Looks really empty in Madden.



Tiburon really has to nail the details this gen imo. I feel like instead of crafting all these fans they should've been trying to sell the fact that this is an actual NFL game being viewed. Put all the cameras and camera men in proper places, all the equipment, cheerleaders, players coaches. Not just random characters. Really try to sell the illusion that this is an actual event taking place.

Hell yea Sage this is what im saying, NOT EVERYONE on an NFL sideline is wearing that teams logo products either. These sidelines are soooo bare that if they only cluttered them up a bit with equipment and random dudes in street clothes with field passes around their necks, or more benches. IT would give the impression of being more alive. It almost like they've never seen a sideline. Maybe its not an easy thing to do but it cant be rocket science. They should have never included "Living Worlds" in the first trailers if it was going to be "iffy" as to whether they could pull it off the RIGHT WAY, right away.

The problem is they advertised living worlds as selling point for this game and the next-gen consoles. They clearly failed miserably in that aspect. Would people still complain about the sidelines even if it wasn't an advertised thing? of course they would and they should. But since they advertised it as a selling point and then they failed miserably. Well then that is when it's a big deal and you are going to get more criticism over it.

Probably this week. I'd also like to know when they are going to announce the PS4 exclusive feature.

You guys do realize OS isn't really the intended audience of these videos, right?

I mean, are we really expecting in-depth info and/or straight-up gameplay from a YouTube commentator? A "popular" one at that?

Just saying, QJB is getting the opportunity to promote himself and his channel to his followers, while EA has the game promoted in a highly positively light to his followers, and YouTube in general.

Consider, for example, that in all the videos there was really nothing substantial presented, and then look at the Like/Dislike ratio and the comment sections. Not much negativity.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Next Gen Video - The Prototype (QJB)

The light at the end of the tunnel that is the drop of next-gen football gaming is dimly fading out into nothingness. I, as I am sure many others on this board can relate, have been supremely disappointed with what EA Sports has had to show thus far. This was supposed to be their "big break" that get all of us sim-gamers back into the fold. Instead we are relegated to more hype videos that, in all honesty, have nothing to hype from a second-hand source.

For shame...

Why do I care what is happening on the sideline, how in any way , shape or form does that bring ANYTHING to the game?

3 people putting their hands up, who cares, it's a video game, they are all going for the ball.


People complain about anything, I ben gaming since Atari then 10 yard fight and Tecmo Bowl on Nintendo. Like who cares, back then all we did was have fun period.

Could Madden be more next gen and add 100 things on the sideline and all of this other hoopla, I guess so but for about 90% of the world it just does't matter. For Next gen what we really want to see are Better graphics and physics, if they did this then game Won.


I remember now why I stopped coming to this site.......

Its called immersion. It's called everything we see on Sundays. EA marketed it as Living Worlds, not us. I just disagree that an interactive crowd and sideline add nothing to the game.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Next Gen Video - The Prototype (QJB)

I'm not counting it out yet. I'm not really satisfied with what has been shown, but I keep getting a feeling the final game will be different than these videos.

There has been quite a bit of deviation between each set of videos, making me wonder what is the final build. I refuse to pass judgment until I see actual final build gameplay. I'm buying either way because I have fun with Madden 25 CG and NG has to be better in more ways than one. I doubt it'll be perfect, but eh. We will see.
