Current-Gen Madden NFL 25 Next-Gen Madden NFL 25 We did the same comparison with Robert Griffin III a couple of weeks ago, if you wanted to check that out, click here.

As expected higher polygon count in the Next Gen nothing special there.. None of this really matter if the gameplay is not there, and EA is way behind in that depart for a long time now.. What's the real concern is if the Next Gen Madden will be a another port from current Gen??

I agree with what you said, however there are two things that don't add up with that strategy.

1.There is only so much money to go around at launch, and by the sounds of it many people have multiple games ahead of Madden 25 on the launch buy list. The stuff Forza and Dead Rising 3 have shown in regards to Cloud and Kinect is really cool and 'next gen'. People want to buy what shows off system and is regarded as next gen. Two months is not a long turnaround for EA to cut into the 'mind marketshare' of the consumer.

2.EA has shown a ton of Battlefield 4 on Next Gen, without a smidgen of current gen looks. Why aren't they doing the same with Madden?

I don't know why the Viking's unis in current gen are so dull.... I just played a game on 13 against Vikings at the vikings dome and the uni's didn't look dull at all. the uni's in 25 did match the Vikings name in endzone though in 13.

It is a possibility that it was not added in the game yet. The Adrian Peterson screenshot is a couple of months old and the game will not be releasing until November. They have plenty of time to fine tune equipment for the next gen consoles.

My guess is because current gen releases a lot earlier. That way they don't get everybody so excited for next-gen that they don't buy the current gen.

Agreed, it is a smart business decision. There is no reason to overshadow current gen with next gen right now.

Same reason Rockstar will never talk about a next gen version of GTA V until it releases on current gen.

One thing I'm excited for on next gen is that they haven't hit the ceiling for graphics and we will get improvements every year for several years, which will be fun since they've been pretty stable for years. 1080p Madden bring it on!

Indeed! Screen shots always look incredible, but the game in motion never lives up to all the early screens they release.
