So all of the sideline players in the NFL wear helmets and don't have nameplates on their jersey? Fail.

LOL. Don't make me feel old. Madden 92 for Sega. Look it up on youtube. When you called plays you chose different packages. Normal, Hands, Big, Fast on offense. On defense it was just like 4-3 or 3-4 or nickel. When you went to different package or chose to bring in an extra DB or whatever you saw a player or player run off the field and the new one run on. It was pretty cool. This was in real time as you called play. They were the real player too. If the guy was black or white they were represented that way. That's 16 bit football that has something more real to life then next gen.

Found it.

Really is impressive and its one of those "little things" that turns out to be a big thing. Especially because its kind of hard to tell who is in on defense in madden from the standard view.

WOW! Didn't even realize that either! Why are they wearing helmets?!

Like I said earlier, I am a fan of what they are doing. The direction they are heading. But when you bring attention to something but in fact don't pay attention to the details, you end up looking worse. So I hope people don't think I'm just bashing. But they tell you to look at how great the sideline interaction is and you can easily point out 5 things wrong with the sidelines. Now I am already looking for living worlds 2.0 and I haven't even got to play this version.

I remember playing madden when the ps2 first dropped. That kind of got me excited. Last gen and this gen trailers anyway....meh. Not feeling it. If only there was competition for them....ah well.

All that being said, if the ai is stellar and makes smart in game gameplans and calls that would indeed be great. I have a bad feeling though.

The excuse used to be lack of space, now it's gen so what's the excuse now?

Definitely liking what I have seen and heard so far about next gen madden. I think that there is a definite upgrade in graphics and the upgrades to crowd AI is awesome. I Can't wait for this game!

This is nothing really that great.

1- The crowd cutscenes are still pre-packaged videos. There's nothing "living" about a scripted group of 4 detailed fans hooting and hollering the same way in every stadium, with different jerseys on.

2- Crowd animations still look terrible taken in context. I saw about 30% of the visible crowd all wave their arms in unison in one clip, same as current gen. Again there is nothing "living" about this.

To me, living worlds is the ability to run out of bounds and have the sideline react in a dynamic unscripted, yet appropriate way every time, WITHIN THE SAME FRAME OF ACTION. This video looked like a lot of cutscenes. You run out of bounds and it triggers the cutscene of your players helping you back inbounds. This is not a "living world", it's heavier usage of the very cutscenes that kill any sort of worldly immersion.

Re: Madden 25 Next-Gen Living Worlds Trailer

well the crowd seems better but we'll see. if they truly do react appropriately at the right times it will be an upgrade. didn't see many women in the crowd though?


as for the sidelines they look pretty bad. why does every player look the same and NOT look like their actual self in game? why does every player on the sideline have absolutely NO equipment on their arms. The REAL players NEED to be represented on the sidelines! With their correct gear on to pull off "realness". They have guys over there that aren't even the right color(Lance Briggs). sidelines still look empty we'll see how it looks in game but maybe they should have just added what they did and NOT make a FULL FEATURE about it. To actually save this for last is pretty baffling by the marketing dept. Usually the last bit of info is the one that everyone is waiting for and the strongest of the marketing campaign. living worlds just isn't there yet. these guys got a lot of work to do with a game who's hardcore fan base is probably more fed up with mediocre than any other video game title.

Who needs gameplay when we got better crowds..... Graphics upgrade comes default with a new gen....thats is the least of maddens issues.

This trailer doesn't look horrible, but let's remember how bad Madden 06 was for the Xbox 360. GLORIFIED DEMO. Just saying.

Trying not to be too harsh though.

It's getting really old that people can't express an opinion without the someone making fun of that opinion.

Who the hell wants to make a opinion here if they will be continuously mocked?

It's getting veryyyy old and I am getting really tired of it.

I probably wouldn't be so harsh if this wasn't the only gaming representing the BEST sport in America in my opinion. But yea, I guess it could techinically be worse. Just sad to see it this way.

SPOT ON. I played Fifa on the PS4 today and MY GOODNESS. That's what a Next-Gen game is supposed to look and feel like. It was crisp, fluid you could feel the momentum, some of the collisions were BRUTAL and took a toll on players noticeably. But the coolest part was when you broke away with a through pass or simply got free. The crowd opened up in anticipation of something big. IT WAS AMAZING.

The only thing FIFA needs IMO is a little better presentation and some constant player emotion. That with a deeper franchise or My Player mode, and goodness you'd have the BEST sports game out there.

Madden... Not even close.

Don;'t know about that the show is a beast, that dev team nails all the details. After playing the show I cannot play madden, such a quality drop.

I did delete the comment after thinking twice about it, but I will re-enter the comment since you agreed.
