Player Likeness is still lacking. Same generic faces from the last few years. I thought they'd use the AI technology from College 25. At least it got players a lot closer than these same old faces they've had for years that look nothing like their real life counterparts. Mild complaint but expected more.

Went to practice mode. Game is slower and less wide open yet maybe a tad easier than the college game (All-Pro/AA). Like the feel.

Ok so am on PC and EA trial on X. I cannot find the trial on PS5 but downloading the X version right now and played my pc version 1 game so far

Giants at Cowboys and what a difference is playing at native 4k ultra settings with fps ranging from 85 to 150 throughout the whole game

Tackling is much much improved over last years game

I picked Mike Tirico and Greg Olsen and it just sounds awful at least Tirico. Bland and sounds like he is just reading lines which I know they are but still

All Madden from the start and Cowboys shredded me with the pass but still got Dak to not be roboqb like previous years. On offense I was able to move the ball a good amount all game and the run game feellls sooo good compared to last year. The ball placement with ratings for the accuracy setting feels right as I threw a wide open Nabers but put touch on it and it fell short and the safety came over and picked it off. A better qb and that is 6 so I loved that

Will report on X version and PS5 when it becomes available to me

Why didn’t Madden adopt CFB25’s kicking meter?

After playing so much college football, Madden felt… “different.”

3 different graphic settings. Resolution is 4k, visuals isn’t 4k but I’m assuming it has ray tracing, but the image looks a bit soft and maybe 1440p. Then there’s performance which I haven’t tried. Playing with the Mike Turico as the commentator and it’s a breath of fresh air not hearing the older guys. The only thing is Mike sounds too robotic and not too natural like on tv. Overall it feels nice

If you played 24 and imported your settings it defaults to the old method, but you can turn on the new kicking meter in the options.

Ok so just played a half on series x and the visuals much nicer and performance 100x better than NCAA 25

You get performance mode which on x is 120fps at 1440p?

You get visuals mode which looks to be 4k no RT mode at 60fps all around

You get resolution mode which looks to be native 4k with RT and 60fps with 30fps cutscenes etc

Regardless they TA used makes it hard to determine the loss of resolution but the performance is buttery smooth

Visuals isn’t 4k at all. It looks very soft and most likely 1440p. It has ray tracing. Resolution is 4k at 60 no RT. I’m leaning towards resolution. Visuals looks way too soft. Going to see how this game plays on PC. That’s where I’ll most likely be playing this game.

Just saw my first crazy glitch online. My CB went through the WR completely.

Pretty sure he's not a part of the coach's association just like Bill Belichick never was.
