09:05 AM - October 8, 2013 by Steve_OS

Check out the latest Madden NFL 25 video, featuring CoachGlass with SmartGlass, exclusive to the Xbox One. CoachGlass gives Madden players a defensive coordinator by their side, providing easy access to an opponent’s offensive tendencies, play history and more.

YOUR OWN COORDINATOR

As soon as the opponent picks an offensive formation, CoachGlass will recommend three plays based on either the personnel or the opponent’s tendencies. This data is pulled from tens of thousands of online games and is tailored for specific formations and plays. Once you select your play, CoachGlass will then highlight the opponent’s biggest threats, allowing you to key in on the most dangerous players.

CO-OP OPPORTUNITIES

Looking to hand off the X’s and O’s responsibility? Simply have a friend or family member take over on CoachGlass to let them assume defensive coordinator duties while you focus on shutting down the opposition. CoachGlass gives players a whole new way to experience Madden NFL 25, and helps teach basic play-calling strategy in a fun, intuitive way.

DYNAMIC UPDATES

New data is constantly being fed into CoachGlass, allowing for even more accurate tracking of opponent tendencies and strategy. The Madden NFL servers capture the result of every online play, and CoachGlass will be regularly updated for easy access to the best plays available, regardless of the situation.

INSTANT RECALL

Looking for that killer blitz that led to a big play earlier in the game? CoachGlass remembers the last 64 plays called and provides an in-depth look at the most effective plays. Search through your plays to reveal trends in order to get a read on what your opponent is going to call next.

CoachGlass Redefines Strategy in Madden NFL 25 for Xbox One

Second-Screen Experience Puts a Defensive Coordinator on Your Smartphone or Tablet

Today EA SPORTS unveiled CoachGlass, a powerful new defensive tool for tablets and smartphones that will change the way fans play Madden NFL 25. CoachGlass allows players to see their opponent’s offensive tendencies, personnel groupings and major weapons, and suggests defensive plays designed to counter the offense’s biggest strengths. CoachGlass uses the power of the cloud to pull data from tens of thousands of online matchups, with regular updates providing a fresh stream of content and recommendations to users. CoachGlass will be available for Madden NFL 25 on Xbox One at launch.

CoachGlass is useful for all skill levels, as it can be used to select plays based on offensive personnel groups, or to track tendencies at various downs and distances in order help players predict the opposition’s tendencies, and call plays to defend the part of the field their opponent is likely to attack. CoachGlass also allows users to browse through previous plays called during a given game, with filters to sort by down, distance and more. Best of all, CoachGlass can be used at any point in a game, as well as both online and offline in Play Now, Connected Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team and other modes.

CoachGlass also opens up new opportunities for co-op, allowing one player to take the tablet or smartphone and act as defensive coordinator, while another player handles the on-field action. It’s a perfect way for players to teach friends and loved ones the strategy of football in a fun and approachable way.

CoachGlass is part of SmartGlass for Xbox One and is exclusive to Microsoft. CoachGlass can be accessed on any tablet or smartphone that is able to download SmartGlass for Xbox One.

You have what 8 seconds to pick a play on defense. Yea good luck trying to decide what play to pick with that

# 22 BenGerman @ 10/08/13 10:08 AM

That's awesome, the first thing I've seen that had me remotely excited. Not to mention, the game looked great in the short clips we got.

Really hoping I didn't give them too much credit for pulling back the curtain on CPU playcalling only to see this is a feature that I more than likely won't even touch.

Players body types look alot better as well. Cushing actually looks like a linebacker rather than a D-lineman.

Attachment 67206

1. Shows off better sleeves
2. Shows off better socks
3. Shows off better sideline interaction

That's a cut scene. Sleeves socks I can give you if they do look better. I can't tell the difference. But that does nothing to show sideline interaction.

And can you tell me that looks like the same game as those three pictures that you yourself posted yesterday?

This. If youre a sim gamer most of us dont need this level of in depth play analysis to stop the cpu. It would be nice if the cpu takes advantage of the same opportunity to stop my tendencies. Thought I must say i like that feature. It would only truly be awesome if the CPU takes advantage of personnel the way the real life counter part does. Like peyton killing the passing game right now and then I have to somehow figure out a way to stop it. If the cpu has the same bad playcalling though I really dont need much more to stop them. I will applaud the madden team though with trying to innovate and push the boundaries a bit.

If they were able to program that into the game that would be worth a purchase just on its own. The CPUs ability to react to your playcalling would solve so many legacy issues and create a much more viable single player game.

Hopefully this is a first step in that direction or maybe this is what they are talking about by player sense and they are going to shock us all with the reveal that gameplanning and CPU playcalling are dynamic and reactive now. We can dream right. But realistically if they have the idea to use online data to pick the most common defense against a formation in a situation whats to stop them from integrating this into the CPU playcalling. Now if Madden did that then in one step they would make up for all the errors they have made in the past in my eyes.

I'm sorry...did I hear something about another EA gimmick? Not even worth drawing an analysis. My BIGGER concern is how much that video looked like current gen. Talk about lighting and texture all you want...M25 "Next Gen" is nothing more than hyped up port. I've been playing Madden for 23 years...I may pass on next gen, and I'm in shock that I'm saying that. It'll be straight 2k14 and a shooter for me until MLB The Show drops...UNLESS they show me something of significance in the next 4 weeks.

# 30 jpdavis82 @ 10/08/13 10:31 AM

What I want from Madden 25 next gen.

Marginally improved graphics with MAJORLY improved gameplay.

The gameplay reveals are what will get me excited or letdown.

If the running animations and gamplay can match the quality of the graphics I would be really happy with Madden!

Depends if that is a cut scene or not. Current gen sidelines look good in cut scenes as well.

I agree 100% too bad they didn't show any plays being ran but what was shown looked pretty good.

# 34 T5063 @ 10/08/13 10:44 AM

That new stat overlay at the very start of the video looked promising. Hopefully there is even more new ones.

On second look: Why does the stat over lay say "career coaching record" twice in the same box??? SMH.

Yep, all this is fluff, if EA spent as much time improving the core of Madden as they did on these gimmicky editions we would be in good shape.

# 36 kjcheezhead @ 10/08/13 10:55 AM

Meh, I'm a ps guy so this isn't a feature I will see. My impression of it is a gameflow ask madden type gimmick. Asking the cpu to pick your defense is mostly a disaster currently. It should depend on matchups. Green Bay doesn't use the same strategy that seattle does to stop the niners. They don't have richard Sherman in their lineup, but they do have clay Mathews. How would this feature account for that? By making everyone play the same?

# 37 wallofhate @ 10/08/13 10:56 AM

So strange the more I see this game the worse it looks it's a little disheartening. I hope it moves realistically out its a bust imo

I agree more sharp looking stat overlays the better!

# 39 iamgramps @ 10/08/13 11:06 AM

This will help those who play online a lot, I like it.

# 40 onac22 @ 10/08/13 11:18 AM

Same old EA new graphics. They can polish a turd all they want over at EA, unfortunately this whole thing is looking more and more like the Madden dev team just sucks.
