    Has anyone seen a PS4/X1 Madden 25 Review?

    Games out, system is not, but why are there no reviews, no videos, or nothing. I mean, every video I see is from E3 or something. Has no one seen the game? Are they hiding something? LOL

    My PS4 is coming in the mail on the 15th, and I haven't chosen if I'm going with NBA2k14 or Madden 25? Anyone else on the fence about which one of these games you are getting?

    Edit: Ooops, you guys can move this to the next gen thread. Just realized.

    I was on the fence... I grabbed 2k instead of madden right now tho bc there was no reviews yet . But I'll probably pick it digitally with the 10 dollar psn credit.

        Just checking...you are getting an XBone, correct? I haven't seen that deal for PS4.

        And to the previous poster who's deciding between nba2k and madden, that should be an easy choice unless you just reeaaallly want a football game. I watched part of the madden livestream and it looked like my ps3 version I already paid $60 for. Meanwhile, nba2k, even with a few glitches, looks freaking amazing. And 2k games has never won the worst company in america award, let alone twice.

                Without going into detail, this shouldn't even be a decision.

                  It's all but confirmed that next gen is almost identical to CG. Just up to you if you're good with that.

                    From what I've seen, sites aren't receiving copies early for reviews before release (same for NBA Live)

                    So basically, they don't want the inevitable terrible reviews out prior to launch because it would kill sales. They'd rather try to trick people into buying it blindly on launch day.

                      Will you be happy with a slightly improved version of M25? Crowds, Grass, Sidelines, tightened physics, slightly better tackling?

                      That's pretty much what M25 for PS4/XBone is. It isn't worse in any way, and is slightly better in some. I was definitely disappointed by the complete lack of pass rush in the stream, but hopefully sliders can fix that.

                        Cool thx for the embargo notice. I might just go Madden cause being in a good league is a great experience. Especially when everyone can record.

                          Truth.

                          The footage I have seen begin to leak out today is horrifyingly bad for a generational shift. EA should be ashamed of this. They won't be, but they should...

                          I can still vividly remember the "WOW!!!"-factor I experienced the first time I saw a display console running NFL2K on a Dreamcast. To be fair, I have not felt that again since, but there were so many little things I noticed that day that seem to have been lost on the Madden team STILL...things like O-line approaching the line out the huddle just slightly different than each other EVERY time (different gaits, different timings, different movements - even if there were only about 6-8 generic animations they seemed to randomly rotate and it seemed to me that you NEVER saw them ALL do the exact same moves)...things like linemen rocking a bit in their stances pre-snap, or things like the player's breath being visible but in different rhythms. No detail was too small for them to consider or get represented...

                          It was not the visuals alone that made that such a seminal moment for me...it was the total package and the freshness of it all compared to the Madden/NCAA and NFL Gameday/NCAA Gamebreaker titles of the era. That really smacked the rest of the industry in the face and forced EA to up their game to avoid becoming totally irrelevant and out of the business.

                          Madden on PS2 was eventually my choice over the 2K series because I really did love Madden 2003 - 2007 (and online play for consoles brought me back to gaming after nearly completely leaving the hobby in the 90's); however, ever since then it has been less and less of a big deal game to me year by disappointing year.

                          The PS2 version was good but did not knock me over like the Dreamcast had (even though I liked the Madden games better, I admired the look and completeness of the 2K games)...and the PS3 transition was a horror show too. The entirety of the PS3/XB360 hardware cycle was one hammer blow of disappointment and incompleteness after another and now the cycle is ready to start all over again...but I can't go along any more.

                          I'm all out of outrage and just left with a sadness that is hard to describe. I KNOW, not think or fear or believe - but KNOW - that given how the last 7 years of Madden releases have gone, and how many times the devolpers have "heard the fans" and "listened to our customers" and really "focused on getting 'that' in this year" that this franchise is mortally wounded and the only hope for this generation of hardware is a new NFL contract opening things up to other developers once more. Tiburon is utterly and completely incapable of getting any better. They maxed out and they just can't get it done.

                          Like a sad drunk at the end of the bar at closing time, its past time for the NFL to call Tiburon a cab and send them home. THAT half-baked port of a "next-gen" release was being worked on for 2 YEARS???? With what? Crayons and coloring books??? Mystery solved when it comes to the question of whether its talent or desire that keeps Tiburon from improving Madden...THEY. CAN'T. FIX. IT.

                              Good job EA. sell your game three days before you set the embargo review for it. Man you got to be blind not to see what's going on.
