Watch the official insider look video featuring exclusive gameplay footage now to find out how the new precision ball carrier moves in Madden NFL 25 will allow you to run free.
LOL so he's comparing real life to that game and not the other way around? Give me a break
I think he was just saying that that game, looked closer to the highlight video than Madden. I know I wouldn't look back so much if Madden made it easier to forget. I would love to bury "those" games like I have with other sports games from the past, but Tiburon just keeps reminding me, lol.
Have to admit there are some very good similarities between the juke video and the madden video; hopefully Madden represents them well between RB quality....Obviously the best jukes video is a collection of some of the best jukes of all time, thus potentially do not happen every game, even for those RB's who do pull them off..
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought so, I'm not saying that M25 looks just like the video because it doesn't, but to say it looks nothing like it isn't fair either. People see what they want to see to some degree when it comes to Madden.
SO you watched what one highlight and then quit? Westbrook isn't even in the video after the first 20 seconds.
TGTSNBN? What is that?
Watched the whole thing...Brian Westbrook after Barry Sanders is one of the most elusive backs with the best footplanting to ever step on natural grass, and I simply would have used a clip that didn't demonstrate that in comparison to Madden...I'd appreciate if you get up off my back about it....or do I owe Lil Susie an apology?
Don't exaggerate your points like this. It just makes you instantly lose credibility in my eyes.
LMAO I find it incredible yall can't comprehend that I was MARKING the guy for a reference for YOU to watch it in the video. The point of the picture was not to show it 10 to 15 yards ahead but since you can't grasp this let me do ANOTHER picture since your comprehension skills between you and JP are legendary.
If you gonna attempt to troll at least make a valid point

Yea man let's critique that juke highlight. Them players don't need to be juking like that, "it doesn't happen every play" lol.

Why are you bringing my name into this? I did you a favor and posted a pic proving your point. No offense taken, I just feel that was unnecessary.
I just hope they work on the forward progress when you have the ball
Do you mean something like this? This is from the Madden 25 How to Run Free Blog
"Sometimes you’re just inches from the first down marker, but a defender is bearing down to stop you short of the line. In those circumstances, the best option is to dive for extra yards. Tapping X/Squarewill execute a basic dive, but adding the precision modifier triggers a precision dive where you’ll reach the ball out and stretch for every inch. Furthermore, if you attempt a precision dive at the goal line, while behind a blocker you’ll execute a precision high dive over the back of your teammate and into the end zone."
The game won't ever be perfect. But Madden 12 was amazing I don't care what anyone says it was. I just hate the infinity engine in 13 and now there's a 2.0 omg haha.
So, based on what you've seen, 2.0 is worse than 13??

You don't remember posting this??? Basically same thing Rick_14 said. There was no point to prove, common sense could tell what I was talking about and yea you and rick were the two who pointed out the picture he was not "10 yards ahead". I think I'm intelligent enough to see the pic I posted he was only a yard and half in front the blocker. Wanting to jump in so fast to try and disprove my post was your first intention rather than read and comprehend what I wrote.

I'm more baffled, I have to defend the picture posted marking a guy to show a flaw in the blocking release. Rather than discuss what appears as the same ol blocking animations. Go ahead defend the lack of the defender releasing from the block after the running back is far past him.
Let's just hope there is a big announcement at E3 in regards to enhanced blocking interractions.
Unless it's for next gen, I believe enhanced blocking interactions is a pipe dream. I believe I had that:

At a high level, I would think that would be one of the improvements that Tiburon touts in the previews. But of what I've read, most of the improvement has come in the form of logic i.e. knowing who to block. I don't know that these improvements will make me fear teams w/ the best pass rushers.
I'm a little put off that they turned around and showed love to the run game again. It was just addressed in M11 and while not perfect, it was improved & serviceable. The expectation from this fan was that pass blocking would get the next re-write. 3 years later, nothing. I don't quite get it.
Defenders are disengaging from blocks and their rush assignments once the RB is past them, but not fast enough (waiting until the runner is 10-15 yards down field is unacceptable, and useless)....In the NFL highlights you see the defenders releasing immediately and chasing the runner....The only blocking engaged is when an offensive player gets between a defender and the runner; as well as some side pushes/blocks....
Which is why I always harp on the line battle.
Offensively
-The Tackle punching a DE to the inside
-The TE chipping or assisting
Defensively
-The DE setting the edge: since it's an out side run you should see the DE pursue forcing the run to the side line giving the linebackers (at least one should not be blocked simply because of the numbers) corners and safties time to contain if not tackle this is just a basic defensive responsibility, it's not a concept, it's not a technique, it's not a scheme. It what is simply each players responsibility on plays run to the side lines or inside runs that were bounced to the outside.
Linebacker pursuit angles:
Let's assume the defense called is a 4-3 cover 3 the linebackers basic responsibility is to read the run RB to the QB before dropping into a zone and taking any player coming into that zone as a threat. So judging from the distance from the DE to the linebacker I assume one of two things.
A)pursuit angles are still bad
B)Linebackers are not performing according to their most basic responsibility.
This is what frustrates me about Madden. I can forgive it for infinity 1.0, 2.0 should be much better. I can't forgive it for not obeying basic football principles just because their new feature needs to work. I can't forgive negating basic physics that Calvin Johnson should have been blown up in the first trailer. Madden misses on even the most basic things because the common player who knows nothing about proper football but likes Madden isn't going to know the difference or care.
Here's the best jukes of all time, feel free to compare and contrast to the trailer
With one exception, E. Smith did one that was pretty darn close, I did not see any jukes that look like "the Madden hop". Almost every juke starts with the players legs leaning hard // and then they move laterally while bringing their legs back under their body ||.
Man that video had me aching to play a game of flag football or PS2 Madden - the one with the tap-tap-tap feature where you could tap the "cut move" buttons in rapid succession and get a "shoulder shimmy".
I get that it happens, but why? I have played other games that have solid characters and environments, why do sports games have that issue and why don't they fix it???
