Madden NFL 25 Next-Gen Gameplay Trailer and Four More War in the Trenches Videos

That was a nice ball fake animation in the Vick video. It may have been a user pump fake but it looks like a ball fake by play design to freeze the DBs at the line of scrimmage.

Yeah it's in current gen with some of the sluggo routes. It's automatic.

So far I am hopeful that these updates are what they claim they are not just nice buzz words and geek speak. The biggest headache in Madden has been the line play, AI and running . Much improvement went into the current gen running game to at least bring the fun back, buy these step additions plus the ability to point a defender out could mean much better running.

the Line play has been trash for years and these vids look like the kind of play i expect - I am praying I see no suction blocks and questionable releases. I also hope that this means the pocket collapses as it should during gameplay.

The 60 calculations per second per player should mean no more AI cheating and outright shooting plays without looking. I just want to see natural play behavior - see the ball before reacting on the ball behavior. Intelligent play calling on defense and offense as well and a real ebb and flow to the game.

There are currently just games that you know from the the first series that the computer has determined the outcome and I believe they would not have to code the game to cheat if they had better AI

Wow dude nice catch. yeah I hate when this happens just looks crazy. I understand the token word is true step but man it has to apply to all the players on the filed

Charles ran in for a touchdown after that animation. He got his foot caught on his lineman, during a juke animation, floated like that off a both feet continued to run.

I will say this, the progress made cleaning up the IE between M13 and M25 was better than I expected. I though it was to much of a trial effort in 13 so I never even bought it. but 25 was cleaned up quite a bit. If they focus on getting it polished and can avoid going off on "back of the box" missions we may be ok. I don't mind an occasional mishap here ad there but when its all over the place it really ruins the experience.

One thing is certain...you guys don't miss a detail...I would never notice that. I'd have to think that their first priority is the instant animation but that is definately something I'd like to see cleaned up. But realistically I and most would never see that unless they ran a replay back and looked at it multiple times.

I'll bet a lady can't get a break with most of you guys picking out every flaw on her body...I can hear it now "Damn...she has a hell of a body and her face is like an angel"...then some random OS poster sais "But did you see the shape of her left thumb???...and that hangnail on her pinky toe?"

Back OT..I guess I'd be hesitant to assume anyhting until we get the final product in hand and are able to play the game...How do you know that what we are seeing wasn't just a build designed to show a few things off before they were completed with the tuning and other aspects of animation implementation? I do agree though that I would have liked to have seen one scenario where the DL got to the QB and brought him down while in one of those animations.

Its funny how you defend EA so hard and then throw out over dramatic hyperbole.. Madden isn't a beautiful lady and these guys are harping on a thumbnail. Horrible comparison. Madden is a 4 that we are trying see the beauty inside..

They don't like players floating, just because YOU can't see it doesn't mean it isnt a big deal..
