It appears to be a PS3 thing.

I've played a good amount of games since yesterday and I think Madden 25 is good enough for me to trade in my NCAA towards it. There aren't a lot of major changes, but the gameplay is smooth and I'm having some fun games on All-Madden. Plus, I'm just a bigger fan of the NFL game. The camera view isn't a big deal to me at all.

I made a comment in another thread about the hit stick being lethal in Madden 10. I'm pleasantly surprised to see that it has made it's return this year. After seeing hardly any in NCAA, it's kind of nice to be able to create some game-changing turnovers. This should hold me over nicely until I see more of the PS4 version of the game.

I think the demo is great, but I've experienced this weird glitch where some of the players disappear but the shadows are still visible. The players are still there, but you can't see them.

After playing 8 games and putting this game through it's paces the best I can I can say without a doubt this years version is much improved. It's not perfect. I'm still looking for a little bit more oomph from the cpu but seeing a wide variety of games and each game is good for the most part.

Playing on all pro default. 360 version. Played the frist 4 games using gameflow but have since gone to conventional because I wasn't feeling as immersed not calling my own plays.

I'm playing the game trying to win each game and doing things that have worked for me in the past. The cpu is definately a lot smarter. Sometimes I get that feeling like i want more of a challenge and the game is getting away from the cpu, but there is definate improvement. Time of possession and statistics seem to be very fair each game. Lack of penalties although i did get called for a roughing the passer penalty realistically last game. The CPU still doesn't punt the ball with much accuracy. Would still love to see special teams have more of an impact as far as blocked punts and field goals. I've seen the late game AI issues but i've also seen some really good games. Only really blew the cpu out once and it was 35-17 and still a pretty close game.

Coverages can still leave guys wide open at times but i don't feel cheated nearly as much. The camera in the demo is too zoomed out and replays can be a bit wonky at times with the camera.

The game is not perfect but it's the best madden to date for sure imo... I've been playing Madden since way back in the day since day 1 actually. I'm very good at running the ball and playing efficient passing the ball and defensively.

OVerall players move much more realistically and the games play well enough.

Will be buying this years version. Still gives that feeling of close to being really great though. I think the game is somewhat of a simulation. It just has some warts but they aren't nearly as glaring as years past. Last years version was so bad in comparison imo. IE was a mess and the AI flaws were everywhere.

Overall it has that madden fun factor with just better games and graphics. I would not say past years games were good. This years game is actually pretty good. Wishful thinking but hopefully EA can iron out some of these issues for the full release.
