Madden NFL 25 Video - MNF Simulation: Colts vs. Chargers (Xbox One)

[AuburnAlumni]

So the NCAA franchise is terminated and the follow up to that is this vid of "next gen" football?


Quit beating around the bush and just dragon punch me in the nuts Ryu style.

Why did ESPN take it down? ESPN clearly said "ask EA". Check the twitter convo someone posted. So EA wanted it down. Why? Check the reaction, it's pretty obvious.

All I saying is this....I'd rather have a graphical upgrade on the same game than a complete abomination of a re-written code. engine etc. You must have never played Madden 06 on 360 huh? Man EA is still rebounding from that!!!! 8 YEARS LATER!!!! LOL

Did I say it was easy? It's not easy but it's possible.

The budget? PLEASE look up how much money Madden alone makes every year. They have plenty of money. Especially since they obviously haven't been putting the money back into the game for the last 8 years right?

Who said they need to double up on staffing? Seems to me plenty of other companies are doing current gen and next gen games. I don't think they all had to double their staff. Did NBA2k double their staff? They have two very different looking games. I don't think it took twice the people to do it.

So you rather have a graphical update on a game you know is broken. Instead of them trying ot make a game that works? Well, thats you. I'd prefer them try to make a game that works from the ground up. Not try to put icing on a turd..

I played Madden 06 and it was horrible. They SHOULD'VE went from the ground up after that. But instead they put graphical changes on a broken game for 8 years and people like you are okay with it because you don't want them to **** up worse...lol.

If anything THIS was their chance to just rehash M13 for the current gen and focus FULLY on next gen since the end of the last Madden cycle. Instead of making this bull**** BROKEN current gen game that we are still waiting for a patch for while at the same time making a bull**** next gen version. But what do I know, I'm just a consumer!

that implies they forgot the reaction last week, and they don't want anyone to see their game now. that would be very odd. but at anyrate I don't know, I just think this whole thing with ESPN is wierd

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm just amazed at this to be honest with you all. I didn't think this transition to next gen would be worse then the last time. Clearly I was wrong because I don't know what the heck I just watched. I'm Disappointed and so are many others. Something clearly needs to be done because the direction of this Franchise is going downhill and fast. I've lost all hope in Madden ever even coming close to its glory days ever again.

It is weird.

EA provides ESPN with the footage right? They didn't give ESPN a copy of the game and tell them to play and record what happens. I highly doubt anyone in the ESPN offices is sitting with a copy of Madden making these videos. They have to be coming from EA. So how can they come from EA at some point and then all of a sudden "this isnt want we wanted to show" "this is an old build" "blah blah". EA should be in full control of what versions of the game we see and when. They can't even get that right.

WOW EA...This looks nothing like Next-Gen....Was EXPECTING an entirely "NEW AND DIFFERENT GAME!!!
