Yes, they've been working on this version for 2 years.
But as Pastapadre said in the pressrow hangout, I think all the "new" features for nextgen probably could have been added to current gen Madden 25 and they just decided to hold them out and tout them as "next gen advancements"

If one was to give them the benefit of the doubt... we've hard NOTHING about CFM in next-gen... I hope to baby jeezus who lives in heaven that there's a lot more depth to the mode and close to no bugs.

But on the other side, them being so good at hype-marketing, if there was something new to the mode, we've probably heard by now.

I didnt expect much, but this is just sad and depressing that we will have to suffer with the next gen too.

But hey we have blades of grass.

It sure is sad and depressing especially for us die hard football gamers..

It really goes to show that the NFL really did save the Madden Franchise.. If it where not for them, Madden would have suffered the same fate NBA Live did.... Only EA...

Why do these EA Developers talk about "grass" so much? We want good gameplay, animations and A.I. first, then you talk about the damn "grass." This video was about CoachGlass and they had to mention how good the "grass" looked. If your best talking point is "grass," then we're in for another frustrating cycle of next-gen Madden also.

I've tried my hardest to be positive about this game. Tried giving Cam Weber the benefit of the doubt. You guys are right, this is a real big and utter ridiculous joke from what I've seen and heard. If EA doesn't deliver next year, I'm completely done with the franchise for good. I'm not buying madden this year, but man..... If they seriously don't get their **** together I'm just done for good. I don't care that I won't have a football game to play. I'll manage with all the other incredible games that will be out. :-P

Think this point has already been made but needs to be re-made.

OL/DL animations are much improved but that isn't enough for me to buy it.

If you've had 2 years to work on next gen, easier to develop for tech and all you can do is IMPROVE, not perfect, OL/DL interactions you're not putting the work in.

It looks like the absence of signature animations, ball physics, WR/DB interactions and the likely continuation of legacy issues with mildly better graphics.

You have GOT to do more for my 60 bucks EA.

I'm willing to give them a year or two on animations, WR/DB, ball physics.... what I want RIGHT NOW! is a deeper CFM experience; I, for the life of me, don't understand why companies don't realize that career modes are the ultimate reason why people play their games (replayablity).

With the broader capacity of the new engines, there is NO excuse for a lackluster CFM... I want RFA, coaching carousel, non-sucky draft classes..... the whole 9 yards!

Again, gameplay improvements, while sorely needed, are somewhat "harder" to solve or to implemente and I'm willing to give them some time as long as they show improvement in M25... but programming/logic stuff like quality of content for game modes are a MUST from day 1.

Give me a real CFM mode without bugs and I'll you, EA!

I hate to sound purely negative, but good gawd, am I disappointed!!

It has become crystal clear to me WHY we haven't seen a decent Madden game in so long....Tiburon simply doesn't have the talent to make one. All of the decent developers either jumped ship or have been canned, and we're left with people that simply don't have the talent (or passion) to create a truly good game of football.

For all of their thumping their chests about being ready this time around for the new hardware, and having had at least 2 years to develop this game, is this REALLY the best they can do?? It looks nothing like what they touted a few months ago, and the general lack of video footage is also a giant red flag when it comes to Madden.

Feels eerily like we've been here before....so sad.
