Madden NFL 25 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360, PS3)

[onac22]

From the sound of it strike 2 for EA. NHL is becoming the only hope left. Then I spend the season with the show. Even though it is a demo and will be improved on, aren't demos supposed to make most people want the game? Not bring attention to the gliches bugs and other issues ignored.

Few things ive noticed

Turned off all ballhawk and heat seeker and I just cannot get in position to make a tackle. Defensive player movement feels real "loose".

The stop and go move is too powerful. Hit LT the RT and its a guaranteed missed tackle.

Overall the game feels good to me when putting it on slow speed.

I felt like they were just smarter overall and actually capable of scoring points. - The games felt competitive. - I lost both games (I think I lost one game in Madden 13). - The Packers passed a lot, where as the 49ers ran more. Not sure if it is a coincidence. - Player control feels great. - The commentary sounded improved. - Blocking was improved. - Hit sticks felt satisfying. - I threw intercepts that were not ridiculous. - The scores felt realistic Cons: - Could still exploit the defence with streaks on the outside when they are in zone. - CPU completion percentages were too high (around 90% both games). - Too many injuries (and I was one of the people advocating for more injuries). - I had Lamichael James stiff-arm and truck two defenders in the one play. Ultimately this did what every demo should do. It made me excited for the game. Another quick note, the skills trainer was working for me. Had a message before each playing saying to do a move, I would do it and it would work.

Good notes.

Did you play on All-Pro at all? Curious to see the differences between All-Pro and All-Madden.

The fixed autosubs/fatigue at least a little.

As long as they don't have the psycho defensive back play like they do on NCAA 14 I'm good. I tend not to gripe alot about things in a game, but that's one thing I truly hate.

how are the audibles nobody seem to touch base on that?

No, last year I found the game too easy so I wanted to make sure all-madden was actually hard this year (it was). I'll give all-pro a go tomorrow (it is midnight over here).

An important note to remember for anyone who is yet to play the demo. It takes a while to get use to the new player movement. However once you are use to it, it is a million times better.

I randomly passed 2 out of 4. It is suppose to say, Do a stiffarm. You do a stiffarm. Pass. Moving on to a game now.

Hey there. Can you give me some repro steps? Have you hopped in and tried again?
