Madden NFL 25 Video - MNF Simulation: Colts vs. Chargers (Xbox One)

[Phobia]

I'll be honest, I feel everything by EA Sports is bad. I'm not saying any product by them is terrible and unplayable, but when you compare their products next to the video game industry not just the sports industry (which they would lose that individual battle also), you clearly see that they have lacked innovation for a long long time now.

All of EA Sports games move very similar. They port each of their "engines" from game to game. So the movement "weight and momentum" engine in FIFA will make its way to madden, then NBA Live, etc. None will be identical but they all have that same "feel". None of it truly feels like real human movement and all of it feels connected on rails to the playing surface.

In the most broad sense NBA Live, Madden, FIFA, NHL, Fight Night, and NCAA all have been failures. Sure they might have made incremental improvements throughout the years but none are worthy of a $60 dollar price tag each year. We pay it because we are devoted sports video game fans but that doesn't mean we should sugar coat the fact EA Sports lacks innovation BADLY!

Want to hear the marketing for Madden next year.

"All New True Step 2.0: Feel the difference between each player. Whether the nimble feet of Reggie Bush or the power of Trent Richardson, True Step 2.0 builds upon the award winning True Step motion technology."

"QB Vision: Mimicking the way a true quarterback sees the field. You get to experience it first hand yourself in our new and innovated QB Vision Cone"

All in all EA Sports better look to scrape the year in and year out of releases and focus on something truly innovative, because the world is starting to see them as a joke.

Maybe that's what they mean by "Feel It"

"Next Gen Madden 25, grass you can feel"

To see this comment from you should make anyone start to think twice about their hang with em attitude toward EA. And if a company can lose support from some that was obviously as committed as you could have been to their product they need to think twice about their commitment to their audience.

JP always hits me up with the problems he is having on twitter, so at the very least, I am aware of his loss for hope.

Wow. Best thing about that vid was the ESPN graphics integration, IF that's actually in the game. Otherwise, this looked really current gen which is a very bad thing. Only saving grace for me is that I'm not getting current gen Madden 25 cuz I'm waiting for the PS4 version so at the very least I'll get shiney happy graphics *sigh*

That's true, I have defended you guys for a long time, but based on what I'm seeing, or not seeing, I'm losing hope fast.

Easy JP.

You have to ease into your new role.

Can't come right out and start mocking, take it slow at first, let it come natural.

Man... I waited for the Next Gen version to get this years Madden and I'm highly disappointed. I can see why everybody here has beef with this and EA's seems to be laughing all the way to the bank. No matter what issues we have, they know this is all we got. They can get our hopes up knowing that if we love football, like everybody here does, we'll probably be at Gamestop or the little kids that can ask their parents for the Next Gen Madden for Christmas. The bottom line for EA is money but little do they realize that pissing a fan base like the ones here on this forum will eventually come back to bite em in the a$$!
