QJB has been given the green light on some Madden NFL 25 next-gen videos. For the next 4 days, he will post a new video. Today's video features True Step and enhanced graphics.
looks ok not like the e3 vids though still seeing some sliding but thats cause true step only apply to the ball carrier, bummed the vikings number fonts wont be corrected
Just an observation, does anybody else still feel like the running animation is off? That pulled back side view of CJ in full stride looks like he is running without putting any weight into his legs, almost like he is suspended by wires while his feet are still hitting the ground if that makes any sense.
That's how the whole video looked to me, they're taking all the steps but weight/momentum don't appear to be a factor at all. Might just be hard to tell since we haven't seen real gameplay footage though.
I played this game a couple of days ago during a group focus event trying out Madden 25 on the Xbox one. The graphics are better, but the game play is the same. The defensive A.I. feels much improved though, which is a good thing. I think the game will be much better in the future, but this one felt like a port.
Thats next gen? A majority of that video looked current gen. Still a lot of ice skating and gliding movements.... Dissapointing. Glad im waiting to get a next gen system.
One thing that has to be fixed with the crowd, and I think would be very impactful, is the clothing. Yes now they appear to be different people, but in a single shot you see 5-10 CJ2K jerseys, and 5-10 Jared Allen jerseys.
Need fans wearing team hoodies or tshirts mixed in, as well as better variety in jerseys worn.
That would really help "individualize" the crowd.
LOL....the only thing different from this crowd and CG is this crowd is 3D...that's it. A lot of duplicate people doing the same motion at the same time.
I thought the video looked good. So far every review I've read for every game that is releasing on current gen and next gen, says the games play the same with better graphics. I don't expect anything different with Madden. I purposely didn't purchase those games on current gen to wait for next gen. I'm glad I'm not waiting only 2 weeks away.
I know what to expect of gameplay...so the crowd and sidelines were important to me. Sad we still have zombies with slightly higher polygons.

Well, I did, and I see a whole lot of repeats. Vikings fan #69 appears 7 times. Vikings fan with the purple collared shirt appears 5 times.
Still no sign of women, children, or elderly people. Just 20 to 40 year old males.
Another disappointment, but improved I guess.

Maddens gameplay will only keep our attention for so long, because it is so far behind. This game needs presentation, crowds, sidelines, emotion-emotion-emotion, better camera shots throughout to make it feel alive, and a true football experience.
We have a long way to go, but we knew that with Rex and Clint's interviews. 2 years working on next gen right? I'm not sure anymore.
