Appreciate it.

That was pleasantly impressive. Loved a lot of what I saw. Was really impressed with some of the line play and contextual animations too.

I thought it was pretty funny when they asked Rex if they could take some questions and he said as long as they aren't about 2K football, haha.

This made me more excited for Madden. And usually seeing Madden before release does the opposite.

And for online anyways, that's one of the biggest mistakes a developer can make IMO because while you satisfy the people who play your game short term, you alienate your core audience.

The ****** guy is not going to be there for the long haul. There will be plenty of items in the game for the ****** person but they need to make sure they don't succumb to a voice that is not going to be around after one month. They've done that too much and even the diehards start looking elsewhere after about two months. So they've done enough babying and it hasn't worked out great.

^^^^THAT^^^^

Every word. HOF-worthy post in my eyes.

PLEASE build a game that starts and ends with real strategy making a difference and making people learn that NFL teams do not punt on 4th down for lack of guts...they do it because it makes strategic sense and is an integral part of the game...just ask Tom Coughlin.

The harder it is to score, the better. If I have to play 5 minute quarters and live with a lot of 17-14, 21-17 or even 10-7 type games, then so be it...if I want to score like an NFL game, I should have to play closer to 15 minute quarters. There's always a trade-off, but if the game remained as ridiculously easy on offense as its been for the last few years, its just too damn boring. In Madden 25, at least online, there is a certain sense that 2/3rd's of football is missing (defense and special teams)...at least this looks like the defense is getting some tools and the passing is made a little less automatic...couldn't be happier about that.

I'm not here to say I told you so guys, I just want everyone to have a good game of football. They still have work to do and you heard them admit that more than once. I still think this is just the turning point, it will get better from here IMO
