Why did they release this? EA WTH. They have to be punking us. That trailer was pointless.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Trailer - Run Free
What I basically took away from this trailer is:
EA haven't tried to improve the game at all...they know a new console generation is coming out soon, so they would've been concentrating on that. There is no way that gameplay has improved from 13 to 14 by the look of this trailer.
Owner mode will be announced, I'm sure of that. Why? Because what is the easiest way to gimmickly improved connected careers without having to really work on it? Add food prices and all that jazz, that although nice doesn't really make connected careers better. Best yet, they probably just implemented the ps2 code they already had.
So by doing this it seems WOW connected careers is revamped, awesome. No, it's all fluff. I won't believe an improved CC unless I see sim stats, better progression (especially for defensive players) etc.
I wonder if assisted tackles will work this year? I highly doubt it.
Looks like this will be the first madden since 99 that I won't buy.
At least I will have MLB 13 to play...a game created by developers who care about their product and actually have the passion to create a game as close to real life as possible.
Hugely dissapointed, NFL is my favourite sport...can't believe I won't have a decent game to play.San Francisco 49ers

Re: Madden NFL 25 Trailer - Run Free
The thing I don't understand is why EA can't seem to make a player move realistically? They still have that jerky robotic look to their movement. It's funny , when I play Black Ops ll or Battlefield 3 the guy I'm controlling on screen runs and moves in a very realistic looking manner. I just don't get it.
I'm notthe kool aid this year.

On the other hand, McCoy had some obviously wasted movements. This can lead to the opposite problem - breaking or evading a tackle and getting stuck in one spot in a slow animation while 10 other guys fly relentlessly to the ball. This issue bothered me a lot in '13, because no one ever jogs or gets taken out out of a play by a blocker.
I also really want to know what kind of tackle Burnett thought he was going to make on AP. You're really gonna dive at his knees in the open field? The spin move was overkill.
Maybe controlling the runner feels better this year. I wish they'd tried to showcase that instead of a few animations we may have seen before. I also would have liked to see runners interacting with blockers more. We've all seen tons of special moves destroying overly aggressive tacklers, but we've never seen a runner squeeze through the A gap or follow a blocker driving his man out of the play or slow down to let a guard clear a path through the secondary. Showing off some attention to detail and football intelligence would have been much better than another Pro-difficulty video showcasing the power of stick skills at hyper speed.Comment

Calvin Johnson leaps over a guy... Then... Defies all the laws of physics, weight and momentum and "somehow" has enough force to bulldoze a guy LMFAO... Until those things drive the game engine and not canned animations, we'll be stuck with the same Ole' Madden.
Madden is NOT anywhere close to a "simulation" of how the NFL game works every Sunday... Its a damn highlight show...
If you're (ea) going to make an arcade game, just do it, don't tell us that you're trying to simulate or replicate "things we see on sunday"...Comment

Re: Madden NFL 25 Trailer - Run Free
I enjoyed all those features back on 05 and 06...but the gameplay backed it up completely. Madden 13 was the first Madden I sold after 2 weeks...why, it had terrible bugs. Touchdown catches that was clearly out of bounds etc.
I want all those features you mentioned...but let's look first if EA add them and expand on the versions they had for the ps2 games. Relocating means nothing to me if they force me to change the logo and uniforms...what are the chances that they changed that?
By this gameplay trailer....man, it's the first impression trailer...but this leaves nothing but a bad impression. Where is the supposedly "run free" improvements...and what is run free...the name sounds gimmicky to me. Does anyone know what it is suppose to do?Last edited by R9NALD9; 04-25-2013, 07:43 AM.San Francisco 49ers

Re: Madden NFL 25 Trailer - Run Free
I checked out EA's site a little more carefully and found (a few clicks in) some actual details. The page says these were posted on the 23rd, but I haven't noticed any links on OS yet.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Trailer - Run Free
run free sounds great and the new moves do too, but the problem i have with maddens current avoidance system i guess its called is the break tackle animations take for ever to play out. every running back truck seems to take forever to finish so by the time the guy you trucked is on the ground, youre already tackled. if it still takes a long time to truck tiny cb with big rbs, then idk how much of an improvement this really is. but I'll wait until i play it and see if the awesomeness of these early builds survive the journey to the shelf.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 25 Trailer - Run Free
Im actually suprised Barry Sanders wasnt in the video doing all kinds of ugly spins and jukes, all in all not impressed, Looks like Ea is making games towards kids more then adults. and i see the lean forward run from Madden 12 is back lolComment
