I just wish this played and looked exactly like NCAA 14 minus the D bugs!!

If that is mainly what you're hoping for, you will be happy. It plays cleaner than NCAA on the Inifinity Engine side of things.

EA already has said that the jersey and player are separate and that pulling the jersey will result in a change in balance for the opposing player,so that is a potentially huge possibility for a game changing defensive addition in NExt Gen Madden. At least going forward, with the new tech, we are going to get a much better football game than we've ever had.

Madden 25 has consecutive hit tackling. Ray Rice tried to stiff arm me with that NCAA14 animation that you get stuck in and another guy came in and knocked him out of it and tackled him.

Sliders should help in some areas.

jp, how's the presentation? Do they use any real time stat screens that pop up from time to time? Is it still ESPN?

# 166 theranhog @ 08/13/13 12:15 PM

Nothing about M25 is a "cleaner game" then NCAA 14. They play completely different. Madden is still herky jerky and put in hyper mode. NCAA 14 plays much smoother and slower. The animations play out much more realistic in NCAA also.

There are some new stat screens, qb vs qb comparison, stats at end of game, I've heard there are more during Franchise Mode though.

The presentation is horrible. Replays look nothing like a NFL game, The coaches and players without helmets look laughable and there are jaggies and bad textures. If you have ever played Madden on PS3 it has that look on 360. Like a bad port!

Trolling a bit? Its really that horrible?

# 170 theranhog @ 08/13/13 12:21 PM

I think Madden 12 and 13 looked better overall than this. I think it has to do with the camera being farther back. NCAA 13 looked brutal last year also and it featured a similar camera, although not as far back.

# 171 theranhog @ 08/13/13 12:23 PM

Seriously not a troll. I have been switching back and fourth between NCAA 14 demo and M25 and it's quite a difference.

# 172 Rcdoggie @ 08/13/13 12:24 PM

Haven't been able to play a full game because the demo keeps freezing. Anyone else have this problem?

# 173 theranhog @ 08/13/13 12:24 PM

IMO Madden is starting to battle MLB 2k for worst sports game.

# 174 TheKnack @ 08/13/13 12:26 PM

If I'm picking up what you all are throwing down, this is a pretty good depiction of Madden 25, yes? Dare I say, a screenshot?

No but many had the same problem with the NCAA 14 demo. Try clearing the system cache or redownloading the demo.

Maybe its just me, but the sidelines animations are like looking at cheerleaders when you run out of bounds, its like they're doing one of those specific cheers when they are spelling something lol.

But game looks cool so far, cant wait!

LOL!! Pretty much sums it up. I had ZERO expectations for the game also. I haven't liked any Madden this gen except for 10. I REALLY wanted to like this game as I'm not going next gen and was hoping for a last football fix. I knew within 5 mins of playing it was not for me.

Got through half a game on all madden with custom sliders, dropped sliders way down and still got handled. 5 picks with cap the D was smothering me except on 10 yard comebacks, Bowsers.
Had tough time running but did almost run a kick off back by holding LT then releasing about a second before contact and hit RT for good speed burst to bust right through.
Good D I Thought, I did move the injury sliders up to 75 had about 6 injurys, only one major lamicheal james broken toe which showed him going back to locker room. One nice thing was the sideline reporter always talked about the injury and who it happened to. Phil simms still annoying as heck with it looks like a upper body injury. Blah.
Graphics look about the same, the game fluidness is better.
Maxed out penalty sliders had holding,facemask,roughing the passer called and someone touched gore illegally, I hope it was not in his no no area,lol.
All and all not bad demo but not blown away, will play more.
PS. Had no problems with trainer, not sure what people are talking about on that. I passed it.

# 179 SickDL @ 08/13/13 12:32 PM

Damn after playing the demo im not exited for m25 anymore at all.
The only positive I can think of is presentation but thats get repetitive after a few game anyway.
Not liking the new camara way to far of. Dont understand why we can only use tge new camara in the demo.
D-line in under powered and the O-line over powered.
You're d lineman still stick to the o lineman even when you have a open path to the qb at the last moment you defender will get pulled to the o lineman and stick like glue.
I see way to many broken tackles and many times a good tackle will still give up 5 or more yards.

# 180 GisherJohn24 @ 08/13/13 12:34 PM

Least the sidelines are a bit more lively. I've always hated the standing motionless manikins on the madden games over the years.
