Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

[TombSong]

I would love to see some impressions from people that have played a lot of games online. How does the game play when playing people ?

Can people roll out and sit for more than 6 seconds waiting for the coverage to break down and no linemen being able to break free to chase down the QB ?

Are people able to rocket catch/run your defender away from the WR then swerve back to catch the ball ?

Basicly is all the non-sense from CG been addressed of delt with in some way ?

I've played around 15 games online. I usually rush at least 4 every down. It's dependent on your Dline, but I've only seen about 4 plays where a Qb sat in the pocket or scrambled and had 6 seconds comfortably to throw the ball. Usually if the Qb leaves the pocket he's running for his life.

I haven't seen anyone run my DBs away from the ball. As far as rocket catching I did play against the Bears and Marshall and Jeffries(CPU) were out jumping my CBss.

Putting safeties over the top solved that problem.

Basically most of it has been done away with, just deep balls have reared its ugly head so that will be the headache for the time being but its almost like it should be its just over powered in a sense.

The running away swerving thing has no bearing on this at all, yeah you will get a few that probably tried to hard to get it down but the foot planting mechanics in this game virtually put it to rest. I have played quite a bit online since the servers been and im seeing people try things from other maddens and they falling flat on there face trying to hard.

Just play football and be strategic and u should succeed. it actually feel like a chess match more than it ever has!

I got a new copy but I am still having framerate hitches, especially when throwing deep into coverage, it feels like it drops to 30fps or so at times.
It's worrying me that only a couple of guys in this thread mentioned it and makes me think it's my ps4, but all my other games are fine. It's not a game breaker, but it's very noticeable at times.

12-3 Two losses came to the same guy using the Seahawks ran a funky lame defense 1-4-6 or something crazy then he would show blitz couldn't run consistently on it has Wagner plays like Houston from the chiefs dang near every play. Sigh.

Hiro1 and Smoke6. Thanks much. Yall have just resurrected my interest in picking up Madden on Friday.......maybe. Thanks for the info.

Also , Do your men actually respond to your swat commands/Intercept commands when the ball is in the air ? There are many times in CG where you take control of your man and hold RB to swat and your player does absolutely nothing.

[TombSong]

OH, and do your RB's immediately cover the ball when you press the protect ball button, or is there still a big delay before they actually cover the ball ?
