Madden NFL 25 Review (360/PS3)

[swaggedout]

The definition is simple, sim is artificial reality. Everything that is humanly possible is sim. Nba jam, blitz, backyard foodball= not sim.
No game in my mind will ever be totally sim. As far as the review go, all I can say is, if you like the demo then I think you'll like the retail version.

I don't understand your point of view. Please clarify.

Sometimes I think most ppl's definition of "sim football" doesn't even include current NFL and college football where offensive schemes have evolved. I really just don't like the term "sim". IMO the game needs to be mostly realistic but also have a few arcade type characteristics to make it enjoyable as long as the arcade-y features aren't too overpowering.

People seem to be comparing Madden to Madden that is a mistake imo. That's like comparing Tyler Perry movies to other Tyler Perry movies, is their really a good choice? But if you compare them to each other the scores would be relativity high, but if you compare them to other movies at the box office they will rank really low on the list.

i like the new hitstick compared to falling over in previous versions

I agree with the user run blocking being overpowered at times. That was something I was worried about in the demo. Hopefully any major issues like simmed stats will get fixed quickly by EA.

Bad comparison, Tyler has made some damn good movies.

True, I actually like most his movies but at the end of the day for some of his movies, im able to say, I enjoyed that movie but it was pretty bad. Just because something is bad dont mean you can't like or enjoy it.
