Thoughts on 1 half of next gen vs current gen

[Brian52682]

So coming from someone that has played an extensive amount of current gen Madden 25 on the 360 I wanted to post some thoughts and impressions that separates next gen (I was skeptical of next gen prior to playing):

Note: Play on All-Madden with default sliders for this quick play now half.

1) Running is much more realistic and seems more fluid and life-like. The running game is a huge improvement.

2) Man coverage appears to be fixed where your slot was always open on the out route.

3) DB's seem smarter so if you run consecutive curls with your 1 and 2 WR the db will actually jump the route and pick it off.

4) The pocket forming is very nice compared to current gen.

5) It is much more realistic getting pressure, you can actually blitz 7 and get pressure every time as opposed to the blitzing lb getting hung up behind a tackle blocking a defensive player already.

6) The graphics are actually an improvement. The pictures displayed early were of replays and you can actually see that level of detail if you zoom in. The gameplay looks a little better than current gen but I wouldn't say it's a lot better but there is definitely a noticeable improvement.

Oh and the defensive line play is smarter, they don't get held up on blocks like they do in current gen.
