E3 2013: Madden NFL 25 Impressions

03:11 PM - June 19, 2013 by RaychelSnr

I had a chance to play both the current-gen and next-gen versions of Madden NFL 25 at E3 2013. The current-gen version was fully playable, while the next-gen version gave us the opportunity to look at the improved pass blocking and running game. Early last week, I wrote about the next-gen version but had an opportunity to play with it a little more to provide a little more information.

The first picture at the top looks like Madden NFL 2007 tbh... pretty horrid graphics in that screenshot.

Your comments on the Line play of Next Gen are very promising....

I'll be buying both games for sure. I can't wait for them. Good article!

Nice read about next gen. That's the Madden I'm waiting for, current gen is just a place holder.

The next gen stuff is what gets me salivating most but looking forward to 25 on current gen, too. I'll probably end up trading in the current gen right after next gen 25 comes out on PS4 release day.

Next gen or bust!

Same thing I'm thinking. I've had enough fun with the NCAA 14 demo(when it's not freezing) to purchase the game and get my football fix. Madden next gen seem like it will be on another level. I love the way the ball carriers feel while rushing the ball in NCAA, so I can only imagine how great next gen Madden must feel. Add onto that the living worlds they're touting, player sense and enhanced commentary, I don't see how I can resit.

FINALLY!!!

pumped to hear about next gen success. Tho i wish they would start upgrading certain animations such as the qb and his throwing... he holds it by his belly button and has a super unnatural and generic motion. I hate to bring it up, but of all the things 2k5 got right, it was throwing motion. Rather than have a generic motion attached to a predetermined ball flight trajectory, it seems like the ball and the qb's motion were mo caped together and that there was a specific animation that went hand in hand with the balls flight path--not having them be unrelated such as it is in madden.

"Believe it or not, pass interference was called a few times during my playtime"

Wow. That's good. Its such a huge part to of the NFL that Madden completely ignores. (along with blocked kicks/punts)

Oh yes, that picture is such horrible graphics.

Guess you've never played anything earlier than a ps2.

"The moves at your disposal are the same as last year. There might be a few new animations on the line, but you won't fully feel a huge difference"

Hearing this really disappoints me about the D line in the current gen. It really should of been the number one focus although i'm glad to hear that next gen gets improved in this area. I'm especially happy to hear about players setting up their moves instead of running straight into blocks every time. That is a big part of this game that they've left out is having D line set up their moves with either stutter steps and/or counter moves. I really hope to see animations like in All pro football where a lineman will get a good jump off the snap and literally ride the blocker to the qb yet still be in control of the animation by directing his path with the joystick or pulling off a pash rush move during the "ride". It's hard to explain it but APF did it perfectly.

Looks like i'll be getting this game this time around along with a ps4.

Looks like a much smoother transition into next gen.

You have to realize that gaming graphics can only go so far. Besides, it looks great.

Any word on if they toned down the Precision Passing or if you can make the CPU press the seam routes?

# 17 rudyjuly2 @ 06/20/13 07:09 AM

The DL moves need a monster upgrade to allow more user control (spins, rips, etc). The r-stick moves sucked last year and it seems they aren't too good this year. My big concern is using the just "run into the OL and then turbo around him" move. That worked far too well last year. I hope that got toned down. I had to house rule myself into only using the crappy r-stick moves last year.

Precision Passing has been toned down, TE streaks are apparently a lot harder.
