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

They need to take all the QB animations, make a copy. Then, delete both of em. I cant even enjoy the amazing line play thanks to Captain dummy who can't move without twitching

At least they showed more than expected and it looked nothing like the ESPN videos. I'm at least curious to try it out.

Loved the war in the trenches stuff. The QB and running animations still leave alot to be desired for me though.



This whole animation just seems disconnected. Why isn't CJ looking at what he's trying to avoid? Why does it seem like his upper body and lower body were captured seperately? And lastly it looks like he's going back into that ugly base animation system they have. They really did just "stitch" together animations over the top of that UGLY locomotion they have in all EA games.

I wanna' be able to do a spin out the pocket to avoid a pass rusher that Romo does all the time! Come on EA, do it for Madden 15!!

The Right stick should be utilized for this type of thing. they finally used to side step and step up but a half twirl could easily be used to spin away from pressure and start a roll out animation. also now that it looks lik we have a pocket and an may have to use it, it be nice to have nice step up animations that fluidly flow into the throwing motion. should also get a lil more zip and accuracy (on certain routes) for stepping into the throw...timing and fluid transition being the key

This gif is just ridiculous to me. Running full speed, coming to a dead stop in like 2 steps, then spinning? C'mon son...... Again he's not even looking at the defender. Guess it went from psychic DB's to psychic RB's

Like I said the lineplay stuff looks pretty good. Really love that stuff. They just have to overhaul alot of this stuff like they did the line play.

Personally the only thing that looks good to me is the Oline/Dline. I love that the AI is improved but it still looks weird most of the time. I just want some smart CPU. Yeah, im setting the bar low lol.

Did no one really notice that in the 3rd video (The chiefs one), the center floats like crazy and warps to block someone?
