I've been wondering the same thing. My guess is it is for next generation. Whether that means they have improved penalties in next gen, or it is purely a presentation addition remains to be seen.

ugh, I think I might just hold off the current gen release of Madden 25. & Wait for the next gen release of it

No question, everyone agree, best commentary we've ever heard from Madden? I know that's not saying much, but much more natural and fluid?

I will say that my expectations have been tempered a bit though. I'm just not convinced that [for one example] the same guys who have bastardized the presentation in current gen are going to be 100% committed to it next gen. It's been almost 10 years since we've had GREAT presentation in a NFL game. In addition, having listened to the Sim Perspective radio show last week, I sorta heard the lyrics to the same old song: "Remember this is year one on a new console, they're going to need time." And that's NOOOOO slight on my guys. Kudos to them for trying to set expectations. But I was hoping we would be able to turn the page on that mindset as we approached next gen. I got the vibe that we're still going to be trotting along year after year. At some point, I think we all will have to embrace Big's thinking in this thread (including myself). If they wanted to make a simulation game with ALL the bells and whistles, it would be done. FIFA completely reinvented itself (as I understand it) in a 2-3 year period. I think the NHL franchise underwent a similar transition. While football is an entirely different sport, there's gonna come a time where we have to understand that Tiburon is going to make the kind of football game THEY want to make. And they have. In saying all of that, it's beginning to be hard to conceive that Tiburon is setting out to make an authentic simulation of the NFL. If they were committed to sim gameplay, why is the default game speed always so fast? Regardless of how good/bad it turns out, M25 on XBOXOne/PS4 should tell the story of where this franchise is headed. Like I said a few months ago, I'm not spending another console generation attempting to see the forest through the trees. It's been too long. With the regressions in the last year & change, I feel like my Madden 10 wishlist is just as relevant as it was five years ago.

Russ, I want to LOVE this post. Where is the love X 10000 for a post? lol. This sums up EXACTLY how I've felt, and kudos to you as a gamechanger to say it. You are 100% correct here, IMO.
