Madden NFL 25 Video - Playbook: Run Free with Trey Wingo and Doug Martin

Man!! I hope every single tackler is not constantly bouncing off the ball carrier the way it looks like they will.

I think people have next gen expectations right now, you should know by now that a complete overhaul in player movement won't happen until then. You're only fooling yourself if you thought otherwise.

Hopefully these animations can be toned down by the final release or else the defense is going to be in trouble. It won't even matter if you drop the game speed down, because it's a global effect. Ball-handlers are transitioning at WARP speed from Point A to Point Z in each animation and it just doesn't look organic at all.

It's better than the trailer I'll give you that, but the animations should be subject to the Infinity Engine as well in terms of physics. It seems like each running animation defies the engine's logic.

The foot planting definitely seems like an improvement over M13, probably about the best anyone could hope for at this point.

With that out the way, I 100% feel people about the ridiculous "lifted off feet" forearm shiver or whatever, from other videos, again showing up here. At around the 1:09-11 mark, Arian Foster lifts some defender off their feet. I decided to go on Youtube to look at the infamous "Marshawn Lynch Beastmode" run and that's probably where Tiburon got this ridiculous adaptation from. smh. The sad part is, in the Lynch run, the DB isn't lifted in the air but losses his balance and falls down.

I am so ready for the new consoles because at this point, a lot of what Tiburon does to recreate real football in Madden, reminds of that Cosby Show episode when Denise tried to make Theo a replica of a Gordon Gartrell shirt. LOL

Trailer, #sad #really? #CasualGamersWinAgain

Doug Martins #truckstick shirt was the highlight of the video

This might sound crazy, but Madden is so stiff the exaggerated animations could give it some life, only if it was balanced, had a fundamental football foundation in place, and the back of the box feature was "real football is NOW"!!

yea JP the stiff arms did look great, too bad that the ONLY time the RB stands up straight though. lol...but your right the stiff arm portion was the highlight of the video
