New physics based pre, play and post impact hits and tackling look cool.

(not buying to until I see penalties confirmed

If they didn't mess with what was put out there last month, then you'll be satisfied with that. We'll have to see if it translates over.

Padded arm sleeves seem to be in.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Gameplay Deep Dive Video

I was watching a stream on Twitch for a bit when I caught the deep dive, and I gotta be honest, based on what was just shown if I didn't already pick up the bundle, I probably would have skipped M25.

I did enjoy the beta for the most part, but I didn't see quite enough to move the needle if I was on the fence.

I remember folks claiming that CF25 was going to be nothing more than a Madden "reskin"...well based on what I just watched, it seems like Madden is a CF25 "reskin".

What really draws me in to CF, is the atmosphere and presentation aspects, although I would like to see actual stat overlays..I seriously doubt that I will hear Renegade during my games at Acrisure, and that is a HUGE "pick me up"
during the game.

I can remember the first time I made it over to Pittsburgh for a game, and the scoreboard went completely black, then you heard Tommy Shaw start singing...

Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running, and I'm so far from my home

The hairs on my arm literally stood up, and then when the song kicks in and the crowd goes wild and terrible towels are waving, is the best thing I have ever witnessed.

I know this will probably never be replicated in Madden, and that leads to my initial point...the atmosphere in M25 won't probably be close to that of CF25

The gameplay looked basically identical to what we have in CF, so I don't know...like I mentioned, if I didn't purchase the bundle and was on the fence, I don't feel this would've pushed me to purchase the game.

We have a new teammate in our Tiburon studio. Not sure if you’ve heard about it or not, but College Football is back. And having another football dev team across the hall has allowed the two of us to collaborate and share football features that fans of both games can enjoy. Madden and College together in Tiburon - WE ARE FOOTBALL

Not sure why you find that surprising honestly. The game is fun (beta) just as is College Football 25.

Great news that they put the kick meter in from CFB 25. If you haven't played wit that yet, its great. Kicks in CFB are earned

The grass looks amazing in this video. I don't remember it looking that good in the beta, but the playart was so horrifying it was tough to remember much besides that.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Gameplay Deep Dive Video and Gridiron Notes

this looks great. I've been tinkering with CF25 for a week and am enjoying it but a Madden franchise is my one true gaming love. if M25 is just a re-skin of CF25, I'll be happy lol. next week I'm going to the Jets training camp...already have tix for their first preseason game. Madden on the 12th...FOOTBALL SEASON IS BACK.

There are some good things but I really hope the boom tech/truck stick isn’t happening every other tackle. Feels very arcadey to me

So it appears that Clint is the gameplay director for both Madden and CFB. That to me is the most interesting part of the blog.

If you played the beta, then you can say yep. All that stuffs in there. Too bad we can't discuss the beta this year, to elaborate more on the stuff that was added or give our thoughts on it.

I will say if they have everything in a fairly polished state at launch, but still have glaring issues at launch like the CPU passing rate then it's not going matter all that much. I went from playing every game in Madden 24 to using play the moments to get the CPU to run more. They can add all the gameplay stuff they want, but I gotta actually want to play the games first.

Long time coming but I absolutley love the QB specific animations. Lamar with his towel, Dak with his leg, etc.

And Pacheco with his Phoebe from Friends running motion. Suberb.

I played Madden 24 less than any Madden since 2004. My hope is I can can sucked back in again.
