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

[takki]

I had a feeling this could be Madden's year and the demo is only hyping me up.

I loved it, the physics system is running great, the graphics look stunning during the replays, the run game has never been better, the presentation and commentary is solid.

My only worry is that like previous years, whatever side of the ball they fix (for example, offense this year) always becomes overpowered. But I won't be able to tell until the game is out.

They kick the FG and take the lead w/ 37 seconds left. I tied the game w/ walkoff FG to force OT b/c of this

i had the same issues in the game i just played. Green Bay was on the 15 yard line at the end of the half could have kicked a field goal. Didn't call a TO just ran a play threw it to the 5 yard line then just let time run out. At the end of the game they were in field goal position to win, kept calling plays and calling time outs. Left time on the clock for me to score. I didn't score and lost 10-7 but yeah..... This is a glaring issue.

Just had the same thing happen before halftime. It's so obvious that it better be addressed before release.

Really sad to hear the late game logic isn't that much better. THAT can't be that hard to fix.

Die hard NCAA gamer but Madden takes the cake. Madden feels full, very much cleaned up. Commentary is good, I like the new sideline host. Madden just feels fleshed out. We'll see how everything plays out in the retail copy.

Next play, hand off to Rice - (Looking good so far, thinking they want to keep milking the clock until it winds down and kick the winning Fg), So i call a TO with 1:07 to go Next play they hand off again to Rice, IO go to call another Time Out, but they do right at 1:01 (The magic number from every other madden on this gen). Next play incomplete pass Next play Rice Run and they call a time out right away to set up a FG. They make it bbut leave me about 45 seconds. I return the kick to just over the 50. Three passes later I hit Boldin for a TD and I win So I am guessing the 1:01 TO is still in as is the poor clock management. play calling wasnt awful, just dumb usage of Time outs

Seems like mixed results to me, which isn't a good thing.

I thought my experience was great for late game AI.
