Madden NFL 25 Videos (Taken by Attendees From Recent Community Event)

[infemous]

The Michael Vick spin and truck on a DT and eventual sack in Shopmaster's gameplay video (around 7min mark) just confirms to me that Madden on current gen will remain unplayable.

I mean seriously, he fully decleats a DT who is running at him full speed, with the ball in his hand, directly after spinning around.

The spin itself bodes well for pocket movement and moves, but that sort of BS will infuriate me.

Ultimately, the reason you get this kind of game over and over is the fault of places like Operation Sports, IGN, Gamespot, etc. They always put this line in the review: "If you are just jumping in to the series, this is a good place to start." Because when they look at it .. it's not a *BAD* game of football. It's just exactly the same as the last five versions. So .. being that is the case .. they slap an 83 on it and The Golden Metacritic Standard is maintained. As long as the Metacritic score stays somewhere close to all the other versions of Madden .. nothing will change with this game .. or any other sports game.

Until review sites start getting passed the "stardust" of making them feel special by the game companies .. all the cooing and sighing in their ears that make them giggle like ninth grade girls at the prom .. these games will not change. These gaming sites have to stand up for us, the game players, and say "THAT'S ENOUGH OF THIS" and give a Madden version a 48.

When that happens and The Golden Metacritic Standard takes a hit, then Madden will change. So, when you read this year's review and it says, "for those just getting in to the series, there's a lot to like here" .. you know what's going on. The swag is flowing and some big game company is p!ssing in your ear while Operation Sports reports that it is raining.

This *HAS* to change and until it does, none of the sports games will.

Somebody has to take a stand and slap a bad review on a Madden game. But what do you think the chances are that somebody has enough guts to do that and upset the almighty, all powerful ELECTRONIC ARTS empire?

Yeah.

Just not gonna happen.

Maybe some people don't think the game is bad? It doesn't sell 5 million copies every year because everyone hates it. The game has areas that frustrate me but I will still buy it because I will most likely enjoy it despite some flaws.

I agree with most here, it looks like the same old Madden, It just seems stale and not exciting at all, same gameplay, etc., and honestly I dont have much hope for the next-gen consoles coming since its still EA. I bet allot of us will be really disappointed once Madden 25 and future Madden's drop for the PS4 and XBOX1. I just dont have much faith anymore.

Added 2 more videos to the OP.

In the 1st vid, why was Cassell starting over Ponder? In terms of gameplay, I feel like the NCAA team works in a different company than the Madden team. Despite all the problems with NCAA, 14 is a major improvement over 13. I think next-gen will be an improvement presentation wise and of course graphically, but I'm worried about gameplay. As the saying is for Madden:"Maybe next year."

@1:20 mark in this video still has me disturbed with regards to the lead passing mechanics and how defense reacts to it. Its still the same!

The defense doesnt even account for the HB at until the ball is in his hands! Just goes to show what we'll be facing once again if the defense is still being the same as it was in 13.

I hate being negative about this game but these are deal breakers for the online community and playing offline as well.

So looking at the the owner mode videos. It is posseble to say play as the bill and build a new stadium withou relocating. Thats pretty cool
