Madden 25 Next-Gen Living Worlds Trailer

[tril]

crowd reactions, sideline interactions have all been done before in APF2k8. but nonetheless the crowds look nice!!.
on field looks good also.

Glad they finally made and effort to get this in. I hope they dont forget about it next year. And I hope for Tiburon's sake that sideline interactions and living crowds arent cutscenes...

That gif of APF2k8 is a perfect example of why some think Madden is a joke. Damn near 8 years ago we had this stuff...on weaker hardware...on an obviously less funded Football game.

But again, good on Tiburon for trying at least haha and I really, really, hope it improves.

Wow a thing of beauty when it comes to animations. Simply amazing! Those 2K Dev's where Geniuses to be able to do that kind of stuff with older consoles years ago??! Genius... Man I miss 2K...

Eh, that looks pretty nice, actually. That shot of Wilson from the back, pointing to the crowd? I'm digging the lighting.

Here's the thing: how many times have we all said that we'd pay for DLC of better commentary? When Battlefield 3 came out on 360 with a disc for added textures, how many said "I'd pay for DLC for some of that!" Well, the lighting is much better, the commentary sounds improved, and it has (slightly) better graphics. Certainly worth the $10 for me to trade in CG for NG. Kind of a no-brainer, actually. Especially considering you get all of the CG features brought over.

Now if this were barebones like M06 on 360 was? That would give me pause...but $10 is only $10. When you're spending this much on a new console, what's $10? I'll just skip a trip to Carl's Jr. $10 is certainly cheap enough for me to jump in and then take a wait-and-see approach for M15 next year. My .02.

I wonder if David Wilson will have custom "sitting on the bench" animations?

I agree with this - I didn't pick up CG in anticipation of NG and while the news has ultimately been underwhelming, I'm going to enjoy it for what it is.

It is hard to really tell from this video but the crowd didn't really look that different to me from current gen. Yea they looked a little more "3-D" but they all still looked synchronized to me, just as they did in previous versions of Madden. This is how the crowd should look and react:

This is all we want. A crowd is diverse not just a bunch of dudes. You see women, old people, fat people, kids, black, white, Hispanic, Asian and most importantly rabid fans who dress up in paint and costumes. It can't be difficult to make that happen.

I was at the Packer/Bear game in Lambeau Monday night. Honestly, in our section, it was 85% drunken males. At $85 a seat, I don't think too many guys take their significant others and family members to the game.

One the way out, I saw the same mixture.

I don't see many women and children in that picture. I do see a variety of ages and ethnicity, though.
