i definately agree. madden 10 was a great game and if they had built upon that model and had hopefully changed the player models we could begetting a different result now. but m11 and 12 was absolutely terrible. i traded my copy of madden 12 in after a month and voiced my frustration on their fb page back then. you dont build a decent sedan and then "rebuild" it with cheap plastic

the lead devs/designers change every few years, but it's been the same let downs from Tiburon since I've been on this forum (Madden 07)

I can't see Tiburon ever releasing a game that gives me the same "wow" feeling I get when I play a game from another genre/sport for the first time in years

2-3 years ago compared to Madden you are correct compared to other sports games by other Devs today it looks terrible.

For others it will take an overhaul of animatitions, presentation etc, and for some, they will never buy it because of the letters E and A

That last sentence is BS. FIFA is amazing I buy it every year. The team that makes it has competition pushing them and they put out the best product possible.

Fellas -- when a major publicly traded corporation like Electronic Arts/EA Sports which releases a major AAA annual title chooses to NOT reveal gameplay videos less than 2 weeks before the much anticipated release of a new generation of consoles -- put 2 and 2 together: it's 4 a reason!

This is the same EA Sports that shells out big bucks for retired players and celebs to play flag football in Malibu - to promote the game.

This is the same EA Sports that takes over Times Square - to promote the game.

This is the same EA Sports that now chooses to reveal the newest, supposedly most advanced version of the cultural phenomenon that is Madden....on some guy's YouTube Channel?!

There's no embargo, dude. This is BIG BUSINESS. This a conscious decision to NOT show gameplay before launch. Someone said this in a meeting or on a conference call and that person's boss said "You're right, do it!".

Yes, apologists. "But SeventhWard, it's not Maddenoliday! This is November! They're not gonna blow more of their marketing budget to sell Madden 25 again!" Yeah, I hear you. However, let's agree that it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to deduce that EA Sports is reluctant to reveal Madden 25's next-gen gameplay because it looks TOO similar to current-gen and they don't wanna tank their potential sales.

And EA, if I'm wrong, make me eat these typed words! I sincerely don't mind being wrong when I'm wrong! Reveal the game this week. Just drop a full gameplay video online, dudes. You guys have done it on previous Madden's...sometimes at E3 (several months prior to launch)...so why not this one? Ahhh yes - it's because there's no mystery here, boys. This is a conscious strategic gameplan EA Sports is running to preserve their sales because THEY ARE WORRIED that if we see this thing now, WE WONT BUY IT.

LOOK AT THE HELMET MOVE!

Anyways, those graphics are great...if it were for current-gen.

EA should just stop releasing videos. This is only hurting their sales.
