I guess I have gone off the deep end with Madden because this is just too funny to me, lol. IF your source is right and even M25 on new consoles is "skippable", that's just...I don't even know what to say.

After all the touting of being so prepared for the new consoles, 2+ years of development, hiring away Kolbe from The Show, the ease of the new tech, etc, there has to be somethings in that game to make it worth a buy, right?

I'm pretty sure that everyone in this thread have played the demo and have previous versions as well. The game have been given a try for a long time, but the demo is a pretty good indicator.

I like the Demo and from what I've read and witnessed, a lot of people seem to feel the same way. The retail version is very good. Give it a try.

My two cents is this game is basically Madden 13 with some add-ons for Owner-Mode. But with the relocation being a failure in my eyes, it just makes it about the same as Madden 13.

Reason for Relocation being a failure is the limitation. The jerseys are just terrible, give or take a few, along with the logos. I only saw two logos that I actually like, but the pre-set jerseys ruined it.

I think a 7.5 is a good rating.

Not to dispute that people like the demo, but you would be ignoring the waves of people that don't like the demo. And there are quite a few people that were, shall we say, unmoved by the demo. I'm not one that buys into the retail versions being noticeably better than the demo. I know how EA works and their demos are normally quite in line with the retail versions.

I stand by what I said... it was just one person's opinion ... but they're pretty closely in tune with the game.

I'm a moderator , I wouldn't say it lightly. Let's leave it at that.

I can't confirm what you're saying and I trust it, but I'm very curious now. What I played at e3 was REALLY rough. Surprisingly so. So it wouldn't surprise me if what you're saying is justified. That's disappointing considering the promising aspects of gameplay I witnessed.

Just to be clear I wasn't questioning your source or saying the advice to skip it was funny, it was the thought that after all the hype surrounding EA's readiness, there not being enough to set M25 on the new consoles apart to even warrant a purchase was.

After seeing all the issues still present in M25 I wouldn't be surprised if new console M25 does fall flat, my heart hopes not but my head understands it's definitely possible, if not probable.
