So a tiny bit of 11-on-11 has been shown.

So like a lot of you, I've been trying to dig to find reviews and gameplay for Madden 25 on next gen to see if it is worth the buy. Especially for me since I'm on PS3/PS4 so the upgrade deals really arnt for us.

I was in the middle of watching a video on how games are using the touchpad and at the 2:27 mark in the video, the Madden Dev team talks about how it uses the touch pad in Madden and we can see (very shortly) off-screen the 11 on 11 gameplay.

From what little I saw, I dont think they wanna show it because it's so incredibly similar. It's only a graphical upgrade and it is running a lot of the same engine from previous gen. For me, that's all I expected from transition/holiday launch title. I'd be more disappointed if this was going on 3 years later. But I figured I'd let you guys in on it. Link is below.

I just have a feeling Madden next gen is going to be a lot better then we all think. No it's not going to blow our minds but I do think it will be the best playing most enjoyable Madden since the PS2 days.

Madden 15 and beyond is when we all get blown away!!

The swipe mechanic looks good and like something i will actually use, but how telling is it that it constantly cuts away from the gameplay to those garbage CG cut scenes every time something was going to happen in 11 v 11. The fact that every game other than Madden and Live have been reviewed is also pretty telling.

I hope all the current gen cameras are in next gen if so I will enjoy madden

We can only hope, but chances are slim... Kotaku wrote this in their PS4 review.

I don't buy this. If they don't want to show 11on11, it would be because people have inflated expectations. Of COURSE it should look similar to old gen. It's football (or their idea of football I should say)! What I DON'T want to see is them taking steps backwards and trying to excuse that by saying, "This is the start of a 3 year plan so we rewrote everything from the ground up" bull**** they like to pull on occasion. We all know this is a port up and that's fine as along as they continue to make progression. If you like Madden, you shouldn't have a problem with same gameplay.

What a striking difference when switching from the Madden to the basketball footage. It reaches out and slaps you in the face! The basketball makes you do a double take while Madden is........well, the same cartoonish Madden we have always known.

How embarrassing for Tiburon.
