New physics engine is very interesting. Could just be updates on the existing system in place, or it could be something entirely new with better branching technology taking advantage of the current hardware in the consoles allowing for more procedural animations to make the players look and feel more lifelike than ever before.

I'm very anxious to see what EA has been working on behind the scenes with the CFB game the last 3-4 years. I wonder if the new physics improvements stem from EA having the time and excuse to have a team working on the foundation of the game for multiple years without a short 1-year cycle forcing their hands. If so, I wonder what else we will see that benefits both games moving forward.

Things like working penalties, more robust CPU logic on and off the field, and so much more could have had received attention by the CFB team and it would be a gigantic leap forward if they were able to clean up and improve the foundation for both games moving forward.

Reworked physics engine implies building on the current system. Honestly they say they work on physics at least every other year and it’s never been very good

"Reworked Physics Engine" is exactly what I wanted to hear heading into Madden 25! Physics & Collision Detection have been my biggest gripes with Madden over the years. I felt like player physics worked well for the most part during gameplay in 24, but collision detection was very inconsistent, especially post play. Hopefully they turn on collision detection for all parts of the body (INCLUDING LOWER LEGS & FEET) at all times! No more allowing players to clip or roll through the legs of other players, step through bodies lying on the field after tackles, feet fusing through body parts, etc. I keep harping on this because they had it fixed in 23 but 24 took a step backwards in this area. This is the only thing keeping me from being immersed in the game. Yes, other areas need improvement like presentation, franchise mode, etc. But I'll be a happy camper if Physics & Collision Detection are a top priority!

This what I wish I could tell more people who comment about how ncaa 25 is gonna be reskinned madden. This football games those devs have wanted me to make for a while because they actually had time and not a 8 month video. Im praying aside from the new physics I'm hoping alot is carried from the college game

This is how I read it. Tbh from that article - and I know it's translated from it's original language - but it looks like something a 10 year old would write to get clicks. They even called susperstar mode "career mode" ... I know OS is saying it's a credible leaker and I'm not here to dispute any of that, but nothing about that article looks real or credible to me.


I assume Madden is going to have a chill year and not do much, but I don't see any point in reading into this article of someone that clearly has either 0 information or just a enough above 0 information to throw out a release date.

If they're a data miner then their info would be straight from EA.

They can datamine whatever they want, but like I said - who on OS couldn't come up with that description?

"...Oh yeah the new Madden game is gonna have updated physics (one of the main advertised features each of the last 2 years) and it's gonna release in mid-August (like each of the last 2 years) and the main modes will have some updates (like every year in the history of any sports game)."

Honestly I think a lot of people on here could write a better description. I'm not saying it's 100% fake, but there's nothing about that description that shouts real, substantial information.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Release Date Reportedly Set For August 16 - Early Release on August

When I first saw this a couple days ago, I thought they would give EA CFB a little more breathing room. Plus, I rather have these games release a little closer to the season starting. I'd rather see Madden release on August 30th. Just like, I rather see NBA release Early October and not 6 weeks prior to season tip off

Yeah, it feels like every year they're reworking the physics engine

LOL so i was as wrong as you can get. Here's the official description of the game from Xbox store "In EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 25 discover the next level of FieldSENSE™, including a re-engineered physics system, updated features across franchise and other modes as well brand new commentary and presentation"

“as well brand new commentary and presentation" The smile on my face Right now is GIGANTIC. I made that other thread about presentation earlier this week hoping we would get this and the dream came true! LETS GO!

The only thing I find weird is that they're still releasing for PS4 and Xbox One. Not completely surprising since other games aren't phasing out last gen yet either. I'm surprised that they didn't go cross gen for CFB, but they did for Madden. I'm just curious to why not leave behind last gen for Madden.

So the PC version doesn't get the updated FieldSense?

Re: Madden NFL 25 Release Date Reportedly Set For August 16 - Early Release on August

I see this line item on the Madden NFL 25 Standard Edition page on the PlayStation Store, which is what I assume you are referring to:

***FieldSENSE™ Gameplay System and updated features only available on PS5.

I safely assume this means that updated FieldSense isn't available on PS4, since the PS5 store page for the game would have absolutely no reason to concern itself with anything about the PC version of the game.

I have to imagine that the PC version, which made the next-gen jump, will have feature parity with the PS5 / XSX versions. It'd be more difficult for it to not have that lol.

I don't know where the description I saw a snapshot of came from, but it only mentioned PS5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. I have to imagine it was an oversight because like you already said, the PC version is now the current gen version so it would be odd for it to once again be behind.
