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

[jWILL253]

Has anybody commented on how broken the Skills Trainer is? Like... it's REALLY broken...

First thing I noticed were defenders not loading ! Only their shadows ! It happened 3 times when I tried to play ! Also had a defender go invisible when making a tackle ! So far, that's my only issue with the demo !

True, no doubt, just I haven't experienced any weirdness, yet, but others have, so, it's a bag of mixed results.

This feels nothing like NCAA lol

The gameplay is so fast even on slow.

Camera angle is horrific.

Its pretty decent and will be better with some sliders.

But this is not like NCAA at all to me. I'm in love with NCAA.

After playing the demo,I came away unimpressed.

What I did like....

1-graphics seemed improved,much crisper and colorful
2-some of the presentation elements were nice...I was playing as the Packers,and the starting HB got injured,and it showed him running into the tunnel...nice touch there.
3-Commentary was a bit better as well.

Unfortunately that's about where it ends for me.

My dislikes....

1-camera view....yes I know we can use the original Cam,but to give us this only view in the demo is ridiculous...I have a headache after playing the demo.
2-lack of penalties....again. I upped holding,OPI and DPI to 100,and only had 2 calls all game....holding btw
3-IE2?...IMO,this is better utilized in NCAA 14.
4-Oline Dline interactions again IMO are better in NCAA

Overall,this is nothing but a $30 game to me,I did not see anything that warranted a $60 price tag (imo)

Again,some nice touches,but not enough. When I played the NCAA demo,for me it felt really good,playing the Madden demo? ....I didn't get that same feeling....all it left me with was a headache.

I'm going to stick with NCAA,pick up GTAV...IF I get the NFL itch,I will pick this game up in November or December,when the sales are at there best.

I would say that late game cup is better in that they don't just run out the clock when they're down. But that's the only way I've seen it better. I've seen misuses of timeouts, the same 1:01 timeout glitch that's been there for years, horrible clock management, and moments where the ai is completely confused on what to do. An example would be where before the half the team completes a pass, goes into hurry up and just stays at the los until the clock runs out. Hopefully it gets fixed for retail. It won't deter me from getting it but it bothers me when it happens on a regular basis.

Good to know. I'm not as informed as I should be, because I've tried to avoid the Madden forum of late.

Certainly don't blame you.
