If that is mainly what you're hoping for, you will be happy. It plays cleaner than NCAA on the Inifinity Engine side of things.

The technology is at least THERE to make things like that happen, and right now we dont know for sure that those things ARENT in the next gen game due to the fact that EA is holding back info to sell current gen copies of Madden 25. EA already has said that the jersey and player are separate and that pulling the jersey will result in a change in balance for the opposing player,so that is a potentially huge possibility for a game changing defensive addition in NExt Gen Madden. At least going forward, with the new tech, we are going to get a much better football game than we've ever had.

Madden 25 has consecutive hit tackling. Ray Rice tried to stiff arm me with that NCAA14 animation that you get stuck in and another guy came in and knocked him out of it and tackled him.

Sliders should help in some areas.

jp, how's the presentation? Do they use any real time stat screens that pop up from time to time? Is it still ESPN?

Nothing about M25 is a "cleaner game" then NCAA 14. They play completely different. Madden is still herky jerky and put in hyper mode. NCAA 14 plays much smoother and slower. The animations play out much more realistic in NCAA also.

There are some new stat screens, qb vs qb comparison, stats at end of game, I've heard there are more during Franchise Mode though.

The presentation is horrible. Replays look nothing like a NFL game, The coaches and players without helmets look laughable and there are jaggies and bad textures. If you have ever played Madden on PS3 it has that look on 360. Like a bad port!
