Madden NFL 25 Impressions (PS4)

[dorneydave866]

Haven't had much time to play it yet, but if you bought NBA 2K14 to...PLEASE DON'T PLAY THAT FIRST. hah.

It will make Madden seem so underwhelming.

I played NBA 2K14,literally had my jaw dropped during the entire introductionary quick game...popped in Madden.

Just unreal. I'm sure this Madden is cleaned up and plays decent, but it is not "next gen" It is PS3.5

I had to stop playing because it was making me bummed about my PS4 purchase, put NBA 2K14 back in.

Overall next gen thoughts, my jaw is open for both games. In awe for 2K14 and a big yawn for Madden.

I love the gameplay although I may need to work on the sliders because the CPU's secondary is slightly horrible and I play on ALL MADDEN...

BUT OTHER THAN THAT...

My only issue so far are the graphics!! Im used to playing on the XBOX 360 and I think the graphics actually looked better on there. My issue is on the PS4 the game is just too shiny!! When I play in the sun its just way too bright. I like how it looks when it goes to a cut seen after the play and the brightness comes down a bit. It looks realistic. If it stayed like that Id give the graphics an A- because alot of the QB's in my opinion look too buff with no necks lol.

I think im going to trade in my PS4 version and get it on the XBOX1 instead....

My $.02

If I would of known of the issues before hand, I wouldn't of bought it. Madden is really regret buying for PS4. Wish I would of got NBA2K instead.

I got NBA2k also and the graphics are much better than MAdden but that shine is still there..
For instance if I play using the Cavs, yes their court has a lighter color wood but on the game its overly bright...


This Madden looks like NFL2K on the Sega Dreamcast.....
Exactly like it!!

Played more today and I was surprised to see that I was able to continue my game from last night, even after shutting the console off completely! It was a nice little surprise. Playing a bit more, I really like the precision of a lot of the collision detection. Here are a few examples of what I mean:

-Was playing as GB against MIN. Freeman threw a pass to Greg Jennings that he had to jump up to get. When he got at the peak of his jump, he had the ball. However, the defender in front of him had put his hand up facing Jennings, and got his arm in between Jennings'. So what would have been a sure catch was an incompletion when the defender's arm made contact with the ball, jarring it loose from Jennings hands. I watched it over and over again in amazement about how there was no clipping and no space between the defenders arm and the ball.

-Another is the helmet movement. I think it's pretty amazing how the helmet moves depending on how the player is jarred. I ran Eddie Lacy up the middle. He bounced around for about 8 yards, and then a defender decided that was enough and ripped him down by his facemask. What was amazing to me was that the defender actually grabbed the facemask (sans clipping) and the animations were in perfect alignment. In the PS3 version, the animations would take place, but they'd be nowhere near each other.

I'm absolutely loving the gameplay. Had there been upgrades on more than that front, this would have been a game for the ages. It's still a fun experience, and it's great to be able to share photos and replays with my friends on Facebook.

Well i called Gamestop. He was fairly sure that you can digital download madden for ps4 as long as you have a ps3 disk for 10$. You have to put in the ps3 disk and at some point be able to enter a "digital pass" code that is found in within the case of your disk. Now how you get to that point to even input the code, i have no idea. Lol..i have no idea this is true. I can't try till late tonight. Hopefully one of you will figure it out if it is yes or no sooner.
