Madden NFL 25 Trailer - Defensive Control Gameplay

[SageInfinite]

Another thing I noticed with the ball carriers this year is they don't really turn their heads much. They either have it down or they or looking straight ahead. In most of those clips the ball carrier wasn't even looking at who was tackling them.

That is no modifier system on defense, no advanced controls for the DL and no improved system to break blocks. Disappointing but not unexpected.

Just imagine how much nicer it'd be if we had NBA 2k like controls to this game. As a D Linemen, Left stick moves the player, right stick controls hand moves to get around the O Line, Hold the L2 down with the right stick to tackle, hold L2+R2 with the right stick to go for a big hit.

Works for everything, as a RB, left stick moves the guy, right stick controls your stiff arm/ hands, L2 + right stick controls your jukes, L2+R2 + right stick does power moves, R2 controls your burst of speed.

Think of how much nicer it'd be if the players moved like the guys in NBA 2k and we had the advance controls that game offers, but for a football game.

I liked what I saw in the trailer. Hit stick still looked a little off, but I just want to see Connected Franchise info first (Monday unless EA postpones it again) and unedited gameplay to see the game as a whole (probably not until E3.)

The tackles looked more fluid and natural than past versions of Madden

Hopefully that can happen laterally (contain & maintaining outside leverage) and the other way up the field (pass rushing / pocket formation). The angles & speed make it hard to analyze, but overall, I like the vid.

I noticed that too and thought the same thing. I am intrigued by it being in but lateral movement is the important one, and I didn't see it. Instead I saw lbs just trying to get to far side of the offensive tackle before the rb did. Race to the edge as usual. I also really didn't like the JJ Watt, no look tackle. That was ugly me.

1 step forward, 2 back. I'm waiting on next gen or an open license.

What did they achieve here?? That clip looked so boring and arcadish, it wasn't even funny.. I could be wrong but the running game looked awful too and that was what they have been focusing on??! Also where is the gang tackling?? Are we back to single tackling again? Did EA decide to leave that out this year? Lol wow just wow.. im at a loss for words.. Someone make me understand what is going on??
