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

With all this negative reaction I doubt the NFL doesn't take notice. In turn this could spell the end of exclusives licence FINALLY! Good game OS good game. We might have finally done it!

No wonder I was so confused.

LOL stop dreaming. As long as EA can afford it the NFL is going to take EA's money.

I'm guessing that EA is just going to try and let this blow over, given that Emmdot was clearly looking at the thread not too long ago and didn't post anything about the videos being taken down. I'm not blaming him in particular, as obviously he wouldn't be the one making those kind of decisions anyway.

People keep saying this but what would this solve? What end would it accomplish for us right now?

I think it's a foregone conclusion that the exclusive license with the NFL is done because EA has cornered the market and I don't see them paying for it again.

It would take YEARS for any competitor to make a game that would challenge Madden.

They got what they wanted with the initial deal.

IMO, it's too late at this point.

We just have to cross our fingers and hope that at some point, the EA devs are able to convince those making the decisions that there is a good reason to make the game an actual representation of the football we see on Sundays....

At this point EA might As well pull an eliete/live13 and just delay or cancel next gen until 15. Highly dissapointed

I remember when Madden first implemented the passing "windows" for receivers. I remember walking into an EB when the dreamcast and NFL2k first came out and some lady in line was commenting on how she felt like she was watching a real football game. The days of getting Madden home and loading it up waiting to be blown away are gone and never coming back... The last time I remember playing a Madden game and being truly excited was probably when they implemented the playmaker feature (Vick version).

Looking at the APF2k video really puts into perspective how far behind Madden has become in terms of innovation. Just based on how the players react after the play is over speaks volumes. This game is not even worth a ten dollar upgrade nor purchasing a next gen system so I can play Madden on release day.

We are going to have to wait years to get a good Madden game so what is the big deal waiting a few years for another football game to be developed? We have waited all this time for a good football game. What is another few years?
