I agree. People rag on him but I'm a realistic optimist and I can't deny the improvement my eyes are seeing. I spent a good 50+ hours on Madden 25 doing sliders. I'm all about gameplay. There's a huge difference.
This is the biggest step in the right direction Madden has taken in a long time. People will drop the "this happens every year" but this isn't the case for me. I'm getting an Xbox One for this game if I can play it realistically and be rewarded for it online too. I use to play H2H on Xbox Madden's but on 360 the unrealistic cheese was just out of control. I see that changing in a big way with this game. I see football more than madden in that video. You would think it was on all-madden with sliders if this was 6 months ago.
