Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

[scottyo60]

Got lucky and found a ps4 on the way home in a little small town walmart today and decided to pick up madden with it. I had madden 25 for 360 and traded it for nba 2k14 when that game came out and just wanted to give it a try on the next gen.

I gotta say after one game I'm really impressed. As I've seen with many posts visually it's not much. The graphics leave a ton to be desired, BUT gameplay wise!

I played the Colts (me) vs. Buffalo. They ran effectively and Manuel got hot after getting picked early. During the game I noticed so many differences. You actually need to run in control on D and O to make plays. Sprint is no longer all you need it felt like. Seeing little things like chip blocks and double team blocking makes it feel like a new game. Because of the graphics I won't say bravo EA, but they made a football game that gameplay people will be very happy about.

Thanks for correcting me.


I want a Great Game too.

Well after a month of online playing I am sick and tired of it already, its nothing but a cheat fest now. From shake glitching, to one defense rules them all and shuts down all offensive plays no matter the personnel.

I really cant wait for my online leagues to start, it was quit fun while it lasted but something changed over the last week and running the ball is the easiest thing to do from offtackle now. I know im not the only one seeing this but man what a shame it was. Its very irritating to see people go thru such measures to win and then boast amd brag about it as if they are freaking good.

I played a guy who used cam newton and nust dropped back 20yds and or ran to the sidelines and threw cros his shoulders to wide open players. This was not the case the first few weeks and now all of a sudden its back to ps360 levels of gameplay.

And this is an indicator of what:

This game is the "same song."

Unfortunately off-tackle running is just as easy in online CFM. Not sure what happened here but the off-tackle running is getting ridiculous. Anybody can spam it

Decent game, I'm kind of regretting the purchase. The graphics really are underwhelming....

[Kramer5150]

I must still suck then,because I still can't run the ball with any kind of effectiveness.

I do believe you guys,it's just for some reason it's taking me awhile to adjust to the game.

I do enjoy the game,much more than current gen Madden though.I've just about got my sliders set,and then it's off to start a franchise.

Well, leagues are more manageable about this type of stuff and the way these games have turned out needs to have fair play put in place and making it much harder to pass while scrambling like it was before. Im still trying to figure out what happened this past week with this game and why the devs would feel the need to revert it back to past versions.
