New Details Released on Player Sense, True Step, the War in the Trenches and More

The Madden NFL 25 next-generation gameplay conversation begins today with the debut of the all-new �Feel It� trailer. EA SPORTS will be rolling out full gameplay details on Madden NFL 25 website and Facebook page that highlight how the game reaches new heights on next-gen consoles.

New features introduced in Madden NFL 25 include Player Sense, which enables players to scan the field, anticipate situations before they happen and maneuver based on instinct for the first time ever. Players make up to 50 times the contextual decisions they ever have before, bringing a new level of intelligence to every player on the field. In addition, the implementation of True Step player motion provides unprecedented ball-carrier control, as well as the most organic, user-driven outcomes in franchise history.

Furthermore, the War in the Trenches fundamentally changes the dynamic of the offensive and defensive line. Linemen are able to make four times as many decisions per second, and 300 new blocking animations will lead to never-before-seen situations and outcomes. Offensive linemen intelligently identify the �Mike� linebacker, and shift and sort assignments at the snap in order to target the biggest defensive threats. While the offensive line brings a new arsenal of double-team blocks and blitz pick-ups the defense has gotten smarter too, utilizing bluffs, stunts and angles to find the weak point in the line, split double-team blocks or confuse the protection long enough to get into the backfield. Every down is a new battle to control the line of scrimmage.

Madden 16, True-Dynamic-Ref-Intelligence-Ignition-Tech. Refs will throw their flags like they did on PS2.

That's what's sad, we don't have a choice.

What's sad is refs threw their flags on the EA sports football games on Sega Genesis. Madden NFL 96 and College Football USA 96. I just played the Latter the other day. I guess the 16 bit tech could handle things the current gen could not.

I can certainly understand the frustrations of this game over the years.

The whole next gen launch lineup got so scared of that 2k trailer that other non sports triple A titles delayed their games till next year.....Has anyone notced that 2k only showed ps4 gameplay..I think madden had an intention to give us a good game but is being scaled back beacuse of the inferior xbox one specs..

Still see a ton of foot sliding in the gameplay videos, which leads me to believe that movement, in general, is not going to be any better from what we've seen for the entire last generation of Madden.

Maybe they ran out of memory again? Has there been any video of the sidelines? Or info on whether they will be active or not? What about info on a halftime or weekly show? The weekly show from 2K5 was one of the favorite things about the game. Swear I watched that wrap up every time.

Exactly. They make it like all qb's have the arm to throw the ball all over the field. Fact is every QB in the NFL cannot throw an out route. Cam Newton has been innaccurate throwing in the middle of the field since he was at Florida. Can't complain though, all the EA sports team sports games have a problem with making their atletes individuals. Ex, quick dekes are new to NHL 14 so its only right to have Colton Orr stickhandling like Pavel Datsyuk?

# 231 Earl1963 @ 10/20/13 03:54 PM

Hmm, I see the same footwork in NCAA 14.

The AI and online gameplay is terrible in that game. Just imagine if all Madden was was two guys throwing long bombs and completing 1 outta 4 every series...Well...that's what 2K is to the 3pt shot. Huck and chuck run around and act a fool B-Ball...people taking close to 50 3's per game (5 min qtrs). Love or hate Madden it has become less cheesy to play year after year because whether many of you know or care to admit the AI in the game is improved. 2K AI is hot garbage online and lets be real in this day in age people want to play H2H online...These games are made to interact with others not play all alone with my special set of sliders that are slanted to make me feel good about myself...No offense to sliders and all that but its all about interaction and connecting to others. Mmany of us only play H2H or online so if a game can't pass that test its useless. 2K fails miserably Finally, All games across both platforms whether you get a Ps4 or Xbox One will be the same. If anyone getting a new next gen console thinks 2k or madden will play better on their console they will be disappointed.

completely disagree with the bolded.

Hope they can clean up stuff like this in the future. Same problem on current gen with guys floating and keeping their balance instead of falling.

I was wondering the same thing, but I think he's talking abut the guy in the background. looks like a guy starts to trip over No. 56 but does the "Infinity Engine" float. I hope they have cleaned up the Infinity-ignite whatever they want to call it a lot for next gen. it has a lot of potential but I hate the wonkyness

Nah the lineman in the back. Stuff like this happens on current gen all the time, when guys should fall, they hover and float off a both feet and still keep their balance. Look at my avi. Charles ran in for a touchdown after that animation. He got his foot caught on his lineman, during a juke animation, floated like that off a both feet continued to run.

# 236 TeeDogg @ 10/20/13 05:03 PM

That was a nice ball fake animation in the Vick video. It may have been a user pump fake but it looks like a ball fake by play design to freeze the DBs at the line of scrimmage.

Yeah it's in current gen with some of the sluggo routes. It's automatic.

# 238 Demoncrom @ 10/20/13 05:21 PM

So far I am hopeful that these updates are what they claim they are not just nice buzz words and geek speak. The biggest headache in Madden has been the line play, AI and running . Much improvement went into the current gen running game to at least bring the fun back, buy these step additions plus the ability to point a defender out could mean much better running.

the Line play has been trash for years and these vids look like the kind of play i expect - I am praying I see no suction blocks and questionable releases. I also hope that this means the pocket collapses as it should during gameplay.

The 60 calculations per second per player should mean no more AI cheating and outright shooting plays without looking. I just want to see natural play behavior - see the ball before reacting on the ball behavior. Intelligent play calling on defense and offense as well and a real ebb and flow to the game.

There are currently just games that you know from the the first series that the computer has determined the outcome and I believe they would not have to code the game to cheat if they had better AI
