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

Last time it was the video was encoded wrong, now we get it was definitely 360. Even though that was clearly next gen. Well not clearly because the graphics are a minimal upgrade. But you guys get what I am saying. This is just sad EA just sad...

If it's not NG footage it is some special rendering. From coach headsets, to improved fidelity of textures and lighting like the sheen on the artificial field in the Week 4 clip, and player model detail. The problem is the animations still look awful.

I just can't believe after the Madden 06 NG launch that things seem more mysterious this time around, and the quality of the product is just as much in question.

I would care if a third party company is using my product, i would want said product to do well, even if i get the money regardless of how the product is perceived.

I'm pretty sure it's next gen footage. They are just using excuses after seeing the reaction from the video. AGAIN.

That's the difference between you in the NFL. They could care less how the game plays, as long as it's not like NFL Blitz, and as long as they're getting their money, THEY DO NOT CARE.

Not "One" thing WOWED me in that video. Not that EA has wowed me with anything in the last so-many years as it goes anyway... I have a great idea though. Have EA do EVERYONE a big favor, and let Visual Concepts design all up-coming football titles. That way, we'll have something that's ground breaking to play!! EA's stuff is just over-hyped every year, and is nothing but stale and old.

I think current gen's player models are much better than these in the video. These look too bulky and blocky.

That's not how businesses work.

If you already have your money, there is zero concern about the other business entity.

If you need a comparison, it's no different than a team grassing a player. Once that player is gone, the team that traded him has zero concern with what he does. Only what they get in return.
