I like Madden 25. Do I wish it was better? Yes. I am not a game changer. I don't get anything. So just because someone defends it doesn't mean they are getting something out of the deal. I know for a fact these game changers don't get much out of this. Every one of them I have followed want to help. 2. Maybe we are just old. We all look back at PS2 gen Madden as the Golden years. Were those game really that much better or are we the ones who are different? Back when I played those games I wasn't on websites. I didn't know when they were coming out. I didn't care how "sim" the game was. I just had fun. I was in my early 20's. I have changed. I want everything to be "sim". I used to just get a rubber basketball from Wal-Mart and play ball. Now I want the official NBA ball. LOL. I think the kids in college love Madden as much as we did. I would have never played a game like OOTP. Now I really love it. I want the game to be great. I really do. But, I just wonder how we expect a company to make everyone happy. I have fun playing Madden 25 and expect to keep having fun.

U might be on to something. There was no such thing as legacy issues back then.

If you watch one of the D tackles on the first blocking example he's being double teamed, he has a clear path to Brady, but instead of breaking off tr block he stays on it never trying to get to the QB. He literally just focused on battling the double team while ignoring the path to the QB altogether. Poor.

Just sick of EA not being held to a higher standard. No reason they should be only NFL option..

That being said: The PS2 years are RELATIVELY the "Golden Years" simply because MORE THINGS STILL WORKED!!! Basic stuff like Formation Subs / Auto Subs / Coach Philosophy Sliders / Accurate Sim Engine (and other assorted aspects of customization inside and outside Franchise / CCM) have ALL fallen by the wayside, presumably to waste the potential of a bigger, more powerful console on graphics and enticing the casual / head to head / online player... I'd consider M25 to be the "GOAT" of the PS3 era, IF things that worked perfectly in earlier iterations still were in the game and still worked... We still seem to "lose" more working features EVERY release cycle, which is frustrating / sad... So, yeah unfortunately, the mid series PS2 games were the Golden Years, because all the above features were in the game AND actually worked "as advertised"...

I agree and feel the same way. I don't think all those things worked great though. I remember many things frustrating me when I had Madden 06 for PS2. By then I was starting to want a more realistic game. I still didn't mess with sliders. I played default All-Pro. HA HA.

Next gen has been a disappointment for me until Madden 13. That is the first current gen Madden that made me feel like I did in the PS2 days. Madden 25 has been the same. Those are the only games the new team as worked on so far. That is what gives me hope.

I think you are spot on about online. PS2 Madden didn't have a great online focus. They didn't have online franchise. They didn't have MUT. I think this has hurt the current gen Madden. They have been spread too thin. I don't blame them. You have to make money first and for most. I feel since Madden 13 they are focused more on gameplay and I have seen the fruit of their labor even if some can't.

That is why I feel good about next gen Madden. They could have repeated what they did current Gen with 06 and only focused on visuals. Now they are going gameplay first visuals second. Sorry for the Book response. LOL

Even if it was only 2 minutes, it's 2 minutes more than what Madden has showed

I see what your saying. Were those 4 war in the trenches video's with Webber talking not from the gameplay camera? I know that wasn't 2 minutes but, it seemed like it was.

Touche'!



Yeah, now that you mention it, some of that stuff I mentioned didn't work "as advertised" but the folks here at OS / "Workarounds R Us" MADE them work, and the devs (unwittingly?) gave us the "tools" to do so...

Personally, I would HAPPILY trade graphics for gameplay and limitless CUSTOMIZATION...

PERIOD



I was hoping M25 was going to be a "Greatest Hits" of all the features (that were properly implemented at one time or another) FINALLY being "under one roof", and that's NOT the case...

I (naively) HOPE that NEXT Gen (PS4 / XBOX1) FINALLY has the space available to give us ALL of it and let us decide what we want to use in OUR games...

Heck, as much as I HATED the Vision Cone (fire away, peoples!), I do think those who want it should have that option (toggle on / toggle off, anyone?)...

Is it me or does anyone else notice the referees missing in all the videos. Remember when the current gen systems came out, it took almost 3 years before EA decided to incorporate refs into the game.. I bet this will be another watered down version.
