Madden NFL 25 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360, PS3)

[Steelchamps]

This is my first post ever. Hello all.
Whats up with the disappearing players? Oh noes!
But seriously...
I amm really digging the demo. Some people will never be happy. I grew up with the Atari 2600 and I got my ps4 on order. Maddens is my fave. Although the game isn't perfect some people are just miserable. Get some fresh air and don't let your inner nerd become distraught.
Also, I gotta get something off my chest, if you complain about Colin kapernicks tattoos, your man card should be revoked, also calling him " kap" like you and him are boys makes me cringe. How's that for an intro?
Ok- what does it mean when I come up to the line of scrimmage andmy controller ( ps3) vibrates? Is that trying to signal to me that my play is bad? Press coverage?
I think we are all gonna have a good fall

One more thing. Anyone think online cheese will be less on the ps4?
Thanks guys. Great site.

So we should be satisfied that the current gen Maddens are worst than last gen versions? We should be satisfied that the game has not improved/evolved since last gen? We should be satisfied when games like NBA 2K and MLB The Show are killing Madden! Please.. we so called complainers have legitimate points.

I agree with you. I went back and tried to play NCAA after playing the Madden demo and I just can't. Will probably end up trading in NCAA.

Well guys as good as the demo is, it was a teaser of a wip. Go watch the retail build video by QJB and you'll see a cleaner even better looking game than the demo. There's even some new animations not in the demo. Very impressed by that video of retail. August 27th cannot get here fast enough, nor can August 23rd. I'll be downloading it the second it's available.

Not satisfied! No way. I agree with your sentiments.

There are those people who will accept most anything without complaint. This demographic makes up the preponderance of the population. They don't want to rock the boat and make any waves. Everything is just fine, all candy canes and lollipops. Be positive, they repeatedly chant......

If everyone were like these folks we would all still be playing "Ten Yard Fight" on the Atari system of 30 years ago.

Then, there are those that want more....."it's not good enough, it can be better, we haven't done our best" types if people. These rare types are often seen as complainers, malcontents, trouble makers, or even ingrates by the larger group of lemmings I described in the previous paragraph. These people are constantly striving to improve their personal life, their family life, their professional life, etc, because they can always find even small things to improve upon and work tirelessly to do just that. Maybe some would call them nit pickers, BUT....

These people are ultimately the folks we can thank for progress, evolution, and innovation. Moving things forward when nobody else thought it could get any better. Making things more useful, more exciting, more reliable, more effective, and more enjoyable. These types of people have the imagination, drive, and desire to change the world in which we live for the better - not just blindly accept the status quo as good enough.

They are the very reason you can enjoy your Madden on the PS4 instead of "Ten Yard Fight" on the Atari, so cut them some slack and try to understand their motives.

You will never know exactly how much you can do until you try to take on more than you can.

No. Although I find to find the silver lining in things to be a better way to live. I have big fun with this game even though it's far from perfect.

I'm exited for the 27th and next gen. With a little more work and toning down the online cheese I think things will be good.

My biggest concern are gameplay, gameplay, gameplay. I'm not interested in presentation as much as others. I would like a better onlIne user interface. They should let you create a trophy and whoever has a better Rec between you and your buddy get the trophy over their name or something that would be cool. How bout a pandora channel hooked in while playing? I have wants also but I think were slowly heading in the right direction and I'm having fun. I have hope.

What's up with the vibrate?

In 13 yeah...tons of garbage and AI problems....not 12 though. It was and is a solid game. This demo has given me a ton of hope. August 27th we find out if we have a keeper.

Madden, nor any sports game is not about online and it shouldn't be. It's about the single player experience. You against the CPU team. Online gaming is nothing more than an add on to a game. Where a game shows it true value is it's single player experience. After all, that is what video gaming is totally and only about for gamers.

I'm sure in this day and age you are in the minority with that statement. Online is the way of gaming because it eliminates having to invite friends over all the time. Not everyone is a fan of playing the computer or playing nothing but single player games. If that's your preference cool but don't claim that's all "gamers" care about because that's not true at all
