Madden NFL 25 Next Gen Video - True Step & Enhanced Graphics (QJB)

Here's another screen, again it does look like there's only males in the audience.

2k seems to have a similar pattern but they do have women in their crowds.

The run defense felt improved playing a game of 5 minutes per quarter. You have to be a bit more patient at running a using your blocking because the defense has improved all around. The A.I. resulted in lower scores if you know how to play the game, but if you are a newbie the game's a.i. will score on you. I got to play a whole game against the computer and then I was paired in a online game with one the guys that also attended this event. It had a similar feel, but I see great improvement down the line.

I meant it felt like a port because it has a very similar feel as current gen. The ignite Engine allows the models to animate smoother.

Did you notice a difference in the pass rush? Was there less time in the pocket, did you have to step into the pocket to throw?

How was the commentary? Did it sound more authentic or the same, was there more depth as far as the commentary remembering things that happened during the games? Did you notice the players moving on the sidelines when you ran towards them or did they just stand there lifeless?

Guess they all left their wives and girlfriends and kids at home? lol

I just realized today is Halloween and they had the zombie sidelines just to celebrate the day. Right?! I mean, that's gotta be it. Living dead world.

Well when we are dealing with OPINIONS the only thing that isn't true is you assuming your OPINION is more of a fact than what it is...Its just an opinion. Agree or disagree but either way there is no wrong or right.

I look at Madden and see a clear visual improvement...I look at 2k14 and see the same level of visual improvement. neither one are stunning but both are very good and what I expect for NG.

Animation wise I thought the NG Madden clip looked very promising and I was impressed with what I've seen. Unfortunately it seems the culture here is to come to the Madden Forum to bash Madden and make sure anyone who likes anything about the game is opposed. I realize the game needs much improvement but I'm convinced that half of the people complaining have no clue about the game, another portion are just hating because they are still mad 2K is gone and then there are some legit folks who don't like the game and have VALID complaints. I'm somewhere between Valid complaints but still able to enjoy the game while hoping for more improvements

I want improvements like the next man but most of the people here complaining are ironically complaining about many things that have zero to do with game play...or they have a beef with animations. hell, I have a beef with all sports games and their animations so at what point do we just try to enjoy the game and provide constructive criticism instead of what can almost be called a constant level of nitpicking and hatred.

I actually like this years Madden...I think its there best effort to date and while I expect a whole lot more I can recall the days when the game was unplayable with gimmicks like people stopping the run in Quarters D or being unable too stop the pass or QB's sprinting backwards 30 yards and completing passes, Nanos that required everyone to play the game from a Shotgun Formation, WR's playing RB or TE...I mean its going to take even more time to dial in better more refined gameplay and presentation...We all think we know what it takes but in reality most of us don't know jack.
