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.
I'm more disappointed with what's going on in the background. At least the running is more dynamic and human-like. Far from perfect but way better than anything I remember seeing from Madden. I see change.
The signature sticky, patty cake blocking quickly sapped any momentum. Until that's addressed, other things like disengaging from blocks and tackling will have to be minipulated to keep this from becoming the NFL Relays, especially with all these moves.
I did see some drive blocking on the Martin spin run. Is that new?
I'm patiently waiting for the next gen showcase May 21st. I really feel like they are going to show Madden. Hopefully the foundation of it looks significantly different.
Let's hope so! Hell, I'm 39...I may be pushing 50 by the time EA gets it right. I may be suffering from cataracts and arthritis by then.

There's not one instance of patty cake blocking in that entire video, guys are arm locking and getting in each others pads. I just watched that video 4x in slow motion and strictly focused on the blocking. I also saw the ball carrier avoidance subtle as it was with Foster at 1:08 before I watched just for the blocking. The worst part of that video is the Demarco Murray run and when Ray Rice jukes and jumps, other than that there are a lot of nice things happening in that video.
I don't like the running animations, juke moves and to be honest none of it looks new...Looks like the same ole Madden to me...I won't be buying a new football game until I see something specifically developed for the Ps4 or Xbox 720.
IDK, I'm sure the kids will think this game is awesome but I'm not feeling it at all. I don't even have the desire to complain or critique anymore. I'll wait n see if they deliver a brand new game on the new systems or if the license expires. Stale doesn't begin to describe the look and feel of current Madden for me right now.
NFL defenders dont freeze like that. EA and their gimmicks. Just start with the basics and get the physics of the offensive and defensive lines right. Football is a game of matchups and numbers not juke combos and spin moves.
I mean despite all the flaws I see I still do think the game will be fun to play. How long it will be fun to play is the question. IMO, every Madden is fun the first day or two. Doesn't look realistic, but does look like it might provide some fun.
Which doesn't have anything to do with the comment.
ANY game will have bad looking things, even a great game, when you slow it down and get into "Truth Seeking" mentality.
The game needs some care and advancement etc.. we all know that, but to do something that any game will have a problem with and use it as more reasons to complain is pushing the boundaries of sensibility.

That is the question...
I had/have fun with M13 and I see things that will make M25 even better.
That's why I'm at least happy for M25 current gen.
With that said... next gen needs to bring it and bring it now rather than 2-3 or more cycles down the line.
