Madden NFL 25 to Include Actual NFL Referees?

[spacefunk]

Did anyone outside of the referees and their immediate families ask for this?

It'd be nice for immersion but even if EA went the extra mile and add ref tendencies or something it would suck because the penalties currently occur with no real rhyme or reason.

Now yeah it'd be cool if fatigued linemen held more or something or tied DB's lead to Pass interference.

STAY ON TOPIC!

This is the last warning. There are plenty of other threads to discus what you don't like about Madden.

No more warnings, just bans.

To me, player faces take precedence over ref's faces. And there are a ton of well known players without accurate faces in Madden.

I'm indifferent on such an idea. Personally, I've never said to myself "if only Madden had real referees in it." That being said, Madden has a lot of work to do with regard to penalties. With the hopeful combination of some new offensive/defensive line work, perhaps we can see some more true-to-life penalties called.

This is rather useless to me. Id rather see them continue to implement the infinity engine like NHL has over the last few years with their physics engine and Id rather see them enhance CCM even further to get it back to what Franchise was rather than putting refs faces and voices into the game.

If they use real refs I am hoping they have a good number of calls per game and dont just add them to implement new audio of announcers talking about lockout and how many years theyve been in the league.

I think we wont see anything and its just smoke and mirrors so broadcast can make a comment all year about Golden Tate offensive PI and replacements making worst call in history.

So new features being worked on to break the already broken game they don't seem to want to fix anymore? Sorry for being "salty" but come on, I don't care about next year and want this year fixed first. This is EXACTLY why fans are upset. They say they will support the current game more and people question that and say they will just start on next years game. Guess what, it is happening.
