Re: Madden NFL 25 Next-Gen First Impressions

Yes please do, I don't have time for your agenda. Some unbiased postings around here would be a nice change of pace.

A comical post here. So basically what this translates to as usual with this poster, is, "I want to believe madden is great, and by you bringing up factual criticisms with video evidence is not giving me the affirmation I need to enjoy it". Like I said, comical and typical.

If you enjoy the game, then who cares what anyone thinks? I know I wouldn't. The issues shown by moody are exactly what people who have issues with madden are sick of. They just want a better game and want them fixed. He made a good video showing they are still there.

Moody gave his opinion and it is debatable...

So if you're playing as a human quarterback, the accuracy ratings seem not to matter at all in this game:

Spoiler

I was playing as Denard Robinson, and he has 60-something accuracy for all throwing categories. I misthrew maybe one deep ball that went long and out of bounds. Everything else was on the money.

That was on default all-pro difficulty.

How was the ball distributed? Lots of downfield throws?

On default the accuracy seems to be more subtle. Like not getting the ball in front of a reciever so he can continue in stride. Although maybe off there.

I think another problem is imo, the CPU defense plays way too much soft zone coverage. Again, only played 4 games so just throwing stuff out there.

Yeah, I know, Clint said they didn't touch the QB's this year. We need to have them play like they do on Sunday.

I had to lower QBA down to 15 or 20 on Madden 25 GC.

On GC I had it at 25 I think. Initially it was not noticable but I noticed as my CCM progressed my completion PCT went down from before I made the change.

In CG, I could feel a difference between the QB's but nothing tangible I could really point to, if that makes sense.

There definitely needs to be some work done in this aspect.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Next-Gen First Impressions

I don't really have a problem with the blitz pickup. That happens every game, irl, or at least it's a close facsimile of what happens in every game.

The QB animation, and I've seen those types a few times in the games I have played, is bad, and has been for some time.

The problem lies in the execution. It's about the angle of blitz pick up. Based on the distance between the blitzer and the blocker from the QB, the blocker should have only been able to semi alter the blitzers path trajectory slightly away from the QB.

The pickup was appropriate, but the execution would not have happened if "true step" was given to all 22 players on the field. I'm out and about so I'm not going to use my data package on rewatching the video at this moment. (I was at home about 5 hours ago watching moody's video thru wifi.)

I don't disagree with you. I think that's a fair assesment.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Next-Gen First Impressions

Knowing the accuracy is greatly reduced, so far, makes me breathe a sigh of relief...Thank for the info.

I can vouch for this

I am streaming a game right now with my latest slider tweaks, I am making an all-madden based "challenge set" and I have the QB accuracy at default all madden 50, Tom Brady has thrown two picks this game under pressure and throwing off his back foot kinda similar to this clip of Locker, its not like years past where they could wrist flip a ball 50 yards on a rope

Could also be that true step has been given to all players but there is a triggering issue maybe? Just to take such a small sample and use it to make a general declaration so large may be going a little too far...I definitely want to see more footage..

I have only 4 minor grips otherwise I'm enjoying Madden Next Gen

1. Uni's still aren't fixed. ( off white pants when you wear all white uni's)
2. When you custom your own rosters they don't stick when you start a Franchise (annoying)
3. Draft Rosters don't carry over like they promised (huge for me)
4. Still no 1 button 32 team control (sorely missed)

Re: Madden NFL 25 Next-Gen First Impressions

With sliders this game is getting even bette. Just lost on All Madden as the Lions to the Bengals and it didnt feel cheap at all. Game was played in snow and I only completed 48% of my passes for 221 yds on 53 attempts. Dalton was 67.5 for 197 on 32 attempts. Bengals gashed me for 258 on the ground because I was missing tackles all over the place. Gotta get used to the controls more.

Hum Default All Madden but make sure you're Run Block slider doesnt end up on 75. Mine was at first for some reason.

CPU Pass Reac 75
CPU Pass Cov 75
CPU Tackling 60
CPU Run Block 60
Everything else default

[tril]

are there any new sliders or is it the same old same old?
