Madden NFL 25 Next-Gen Gameplay Trailer and Four More War in the Trenches Videos

Well, I must say this looks a lot better. I looks really good in some parts.

I hope this is a lesson to EA's marketing and PR. Normally studios put out trailers because they don't want to show the real thing yet and usually the trailers hype it up and make it look better than all actually is. Madden is the reverse. So no more teasers and MNF videos, stick with the longer videos with camera angles that let you see something.

Honestly, if the Madden team gets the passing mechanic correct on next gen(too stiff) and the defensive player AI correct(reacting to the ball), this game would be gold. The franchise would be restored. I'm finally impressed by the progress. I may be sold at this point. Returning to Madden.

This is the pass rush clip. I'm very excited from what I see here.
1) the DE on the right using a speed rush, anticipated the T reaching out to him and swipes his arm down to prevent the block and allowing him to get great pressure. If Vick where to drop back too far it would have been a sack.

2) The Linebacker on the right. He drops into coverage with his eyes on Vick. Then he actually turns his head to watch the outside WR and readjust his zone to his route. This is how zone defense should be played.

This is only 1 play but at least there is something promising there.

This is why you don't judge a game based on one trailer.

Those ESPN videos didn't highlight the improvements, they just showed some catch animations/run animations.

They didn't show the improved lineplay, but everybody assumed everything would suck

Is the ball carrier still going to be able to run through those 1st and sometimes 2nd defenders like they aren't even there? Cause if a CPU player lowers their head in current gen, he's almost unstoppable no matter how small he is or how big the defender is, so I hope y'all did your physics homework for next-gen.

People said "What we are SEEING sucks" now they are saying "What we are SEEING looks improved."

It isnt our fault EA put out the ****ty videos...
