I would say that adds to the discussion. as much if not more than almost any post here be cause it's free of alterior motives. .

Then is should be put back on the slogan buyer beware.

I've been teasing the household about buying a next gen system and already getting red flags from the wife area.

We will have two kids in college and one entering HS. That's a heckuva lot of money for the two college educations and if you debate college educations vs next gen system, you will lose every time in this household.

So, far be for me to start claiming my game is better than your game. I will only be able to comment on the game I own.

Plus, I've never bought a gaming system for just 1 game, although I know people buy the PS for The Show.

I know what you mean.When you're in your 40's and I have two kids,one a couple of years from college and need a new roof within a couple of years.I would have to consider it my Christmas gift from the wife but want to make sure it's a worthy investment right now.I don't want it just to have it.

Also my gaming time is limited enough now to mainly play Madden and a few other sports games a little here and there.Several years ago I was playing much more.

Absolutely. I can't get down stairs quick enough with the oldest son setting "his" mancave.

Gaming time is very limited, especially when the games go over an hour.

Then you have the people that are going out of their way to call it crap.Part of this may be that they aren't enamored by the idea of buying a new system right now.

U know what?

The reason for my "Rose Colored Glasses" being on is the simple fact that after 7-8yrs of this gens madden, they came out smoking with gameplay issues (so called) being addressed that we all cried and beg for from this whole gen as a whole.

I cant be mad at that when I was part of the problem and did my part trying to convey my feelings toward this game constructively as I could and they finally seemed to get it and responded accordingly as most of all of us asked for!

So really, what is your issue?

If you not liking what you are seeing or hear then bounce, but I have to give props and have mad respect for the time being. They truly deserved it just from their press conference and what gameplay I seen that matched the talk!

It's actually pretty amusing that an impartial statement that I made could be taken for anything else.People are viewing these videos and stating things they see as fact when actually it's opinion.Somebody else may view the same frame in an entirely different way.To each their own but nobody's wrong for how they feel about this.I think anyone who views these next gen clips as what things will be for sure 5 months from now should take a deep breath and wait.Nothing wrong with being cautiously optimistic.

Once again I will neither speak good or bad about the next gen product at this point.I personally didn't see anything that overwhelmed me and some things that quite underwhelmed me but I do see positives in the direction things are going.

Anybody who likes what they have seen in Madden 25 so far clearly has low standards or has lowered their standards from what to expect from a good football game. How can anybody say they like why they see when canned animations are still very prevalent in this game especially in the next-gen version! The tackling is horrid! Players falling over like bowling balls once a tackle animation starts, what happened to IE? wasn't it suspose to make it so no two tackles are the same! It's obvious from what I seen that they have not touched IE when it comes to tackling in Madden 25. Don't see how people can look at the tackling in this game and think it's acceptable.

On the fence. Exactly.

I have still been playing '12 out of preference and can honestly say that I'm still seeing the same 'physics' in all the videos that I see time and time again in '12.That is discouraging yet I try to stay on that fence regardless.There's a fine line between optimism and naivity though.The game will have to be released before I would give them benefit of the doubt.While the game will be better than '13, and that's pretty safe to say,I'm not sure how much better it will be than '12 for those who at least got enjoyment out of it by Madden standards.
