Also, the hype train that EA typically gets going for Madden/NCAA is literally non-existent this year. Bring on Next-Gen, and June 10th cant get here fast enough.

Very minimal upgrades?

Improved physics, run free,footplanting, contextual awareness on both offense and defense, improved pursuit angles, improved hitstick, a complete overhaul in the running game, improved blocking technique and logic, improved o/d line interactions, improved commentary, owner mode, a sideline reporter, added Adam Schefter for draft storylines, live recordings of stadium sounds, Madden Share, All-25 Team, gave everyone back fantasy draft on and offline, 32 team control, import draft class, there's more too, so do you want me to go on or have I proven my point yet???????

This is the MOST improvement in one year on the 360/PS3 and you call it minimal lol. Unbelievable, I'm looking forward to how everyone will be talking about Madden 25 current gen once they see the gameplay videos next week. Most people definitely won't be talking about how they shifted focus to next gen after that.

Nice. Maybe, just maybe this will be like when MLB The Show replaced the 989 MLB series. Maybe that's why they went with Madden 25 this year. Maybe it will take on a new moniker after this year(doubt it but who knows). The Show did launch on PS2, but imo it was really a game that was built for PS3, and we've seen how it has excelled on the system. Maybe that's what they're trying to do with this next gen Madden. Really spin the direction of this series around. We'll know next week

I still think Madden 10 was the biggest turn around the game has seen on this generation. They've definitely worked on the game alot(we'll see how well these things actually look and play), but Madden 09 and Madden 10 is like night and day imo. I don't see the difference being that drastic between Madden 13 and Madden 25(lol@the number difference though). I see it being a much better game than 13(hopefully), but I don't see it being this drastic leap, especially with next gen right around the corner.

Madden 12 to 13 was the biggest leap IMO, but that's probably because I have played more Madden 13 than any other Madden this gen and am still playing Madden 13. I know everyone is excited about Kolbe for next gen but to be fair he is also a CD for Madden 25 current gen. We can't credit one and discredit the other.

If a DT picks up a fumble and can run with it I will dive at the one or nip out of bounds. I'm a Rams fan. Its more of a rivalry for us, I think 49er fans have more of an issue with the Seahawks lol but the balance is shifting and we're getting more respect. I hate both the 9ers and the Seahawks tho lol Cardinals are ok..

Hopefully, that return TD glitch is fixed in M25.

As a 49ers fan, the Seahawks are definitely our top rival at this point in time because they're a constant pain in the *** and talent/depth wise, right behind the Niners. Rams are third and have an excellent front seven defense and two excellent cornerbacks but they let both of their starting safeties to leave and thats a huge negative in my opinion. Unless the young guys step up, the safeties could get picked on a lot.

Offensively, your OL should be better with the addition of Long and Safford moving to RT. Didnt agree with letting Jackson leave as honestly, he was one of the few players on the Rams I actually liked. I understand the move but still believe that his veteran leadership and experience is something that the offense needs. In the end, its all about Bradford and how he plays this year. Rams added more weapons for him through the draft even though they are rookies. I think that TE Jared Cook will be Bradford's blanket guy.

Despite going 0-1-1 against the Rams, im not really concerned with them at all because in SF, the tie only happened because Akers missed the damn FG and the loss was because of stupid play calling. I can honestly say that my main concern with my 49ers is the play calling and has been that way since Harbaugh, Roman and Fangio arrived in 2011. They get too cute with the gadget plays which I hate. They rarely if ever work and quite honestly, any play thats designed to be set up several yards behind the LOS should be scrapped from the playbook. That pitch out to Ginn was one of the stupidest play calls I have ever seen and thats saying something.

Anyway, I do think the games against the Rams will be tough but it all comes down to the Rams offense and if they can score points. The one thing im a lot happier about this year compared to last year is who my starting QB is. Smith was solid but Kaepernick's arm strength/accuracy and playmaking ability makes him a threat on any given play which defenses have to game plan for. With Smith, no defense was game planning for him. I do believe that Kaepernick will be more of a pocket passer out of the option than a runner unless the defense plays like the Packers defense in the divisional playoff game. I think that the team will use the option more as a decoy this year than anything else because they know defenses are going to game plan around trying to stop/contain it.

Should be a fun season though.

So we can't be skeptical?? Also how do you know we will all be talking about 25 this gen come e3, have you seen something we haven't? If not you might want to separate your own opinion from fact...just saying.

O: Madden 25 looks epic, looks like EA is ending the current gen with a bang.
