The only thing I have seen different between Madden 25 and Madden 15 is they have made the defenders react to passes faster than last year and that has them at times warping all over the place. It really looks bad. They have also reintroduced LBs super leaping to make plays. How anyone that's played Madden 08,09 cannot see the similarity is amazing to me.
No one liked that the defense played that way then, but now for some reason it's praised as great gameplay. The fact that this game today is playing A LOT like the older games should be sounding off alarms in everyone's head that all these guys are doing is recycling code and this engine is not much different than the last gen engine. It's just prettier and sounds better.
How can Tiburon state the next gen game engine is new and yet exhibit so many of the same exact flaws, the same exact way as the last gen engine?
No one is just calling them out for having bugs in the game. We are calling them out for having not fixed ancient bugs in the game. They add, remove, then reintroduce as new, old features and now they are reintroducing old bad gameplay because this seems to be the only way this engine can produce "defense."
Some of y'all have learned to tolerate this crap, however some of us would like to get out of this bad dream and get a really next gen football game. When you look at what 2K has done for basketball it makes me angry they cannot make a NFL football game. 99% of y'all on this board KNOWS they would make a better football game and 100% of EA knows it.
So until Tiburon starts upping their game they ain't gonna receive nothing but scorn not praise for the BS they produce.
2014 and you can only send one man in motion in Madden
3 years into a physics engine and it's no better today than it was the first year
2014 and they are just now implementing "bluff blitz" and if you use it, it sometimes changes your defenders original zone assignment and if you move them before the snap they don't even do the bluff blitz.
2014 and Mario running still exist in madden, only now you get glued to your lineman instead if running in place.
2014 and they still have not found away to simplify the defensive pre-snap controls.
2014 and the halftime show and commentary is still being trashed by a game made in 2005.
All this and some mo stuff and some of y'all will want to crucify us who point this out.
