Madden 25

Started a franchise controlling the chargers and redskins last night. Immediately was givin the option to move the chargers so I did for shits and giggles. Some of my choices that I remember were Toronto, Mexico City, London, Orlando, Chicago, San Antonio, LA, and Portland. There were a couple others that I forget, some strange ones like Chicago where I just can't see 2 teams coexisting. I ended up choosing London. Over the next 4 weeks you're given the options (one each week) to choose your team name, uniform, stadium and there's something else right now that I'm drawing a blank on. I chose the black knights name, traditional uniforms (you pick one of 3 choices, there's no uniform editor that I could find) and the deluxe (I forget the name to be honest lawl its to the left of the deluxe futuristic stadium). Now I'm waiting till next preseason to finally make the move.

Its good to see after not playing an online game in 4 years its still the same cheese. Say hut run around until someone is open and then just run hurry up all game.

I noticed they have a new dive over the top of the pile dive animation when you use the precision modifier button. If you TAP, the modifier button by itself, the ball carrier will stutter step, pretty cool to see. Also noticed if you are being tackled and on your way down, if you hold the precision modifier button your ball carrier will spring forward for 2 or 3 or more yards while falling. It is like they would do a last second spring forward animation. Few times I even broke out a group tackle doing this. Come in handy on 3rd downs when you about to come up short. Just hold that modifier button down and you will automatically gain 2 or 3 more yard.

I did notice that the game intro is different between day games and night games. Night games have a way better intro of live team footage.

Dive from behind tackle is pretty damn annoying just like it is in NCAA 14. I had many a long TD run taken away because a 280 pound defensive lineman can dive 5 yards into my ball carriers feet and trip them up. EA need to change this. At least make it stumble recovery POSSIBLE situation and not an AUTOMATIC your player going down situation.

Makes no sense on zero speed threshold for that to be happening. And it always seem to happen when there is nothing but wide open space to run, you think wow, this is so wide open I will surely score a long TD run because nobody is on this side of the field accept 1 DB and he is being blocked by the WR. But nope, defensive lineman dives out of no where and brings you down. Then you left saying WTF did he come from ? He was way over there 5 yards away, how did he dive that far and catch up to me like that from a damn stand still when I was running full speed ?

Finally I noticed WRs can break tackles like power backs in this game. One precision stiff arm and they are gone. I sort of like it though, adds a layer of unpredictability knowing they can turn a 6 yard pass to a 80 yard TD if you don't send an extra defender over there to help tackle. Small RBs can do this as well on screens. They will bust free if you aren't careful.

Over all the game is a much more improved version of NCAA 14. I'm not buying the same game twice though, so I will just wait for the next gen version of it. Once Grand Theft Auto 5 come out in September, that is all I will be playing for 2 months anyway. So yeah I can hold out until the middle of November. By then they should have 2 or 3 patches out to fix all the little quirks with this game.

I noticed they got rid of 4 sliders:

pass rush, run reaction, block shed and break tackle.

After playing Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA, I see how poor Maddens animations really are and after playing the early release today , I really don't think I could ever purchase this game again. Not unless they do a major overhaul but there isn't a chance of that happening.

oh for the love of God , you dumb ass. Its that way so little Timmy DOESNT CRY THAT HE doesn't get a TD every time. Its like ncaa 14. There simply aint no freaking defense

You two know each other? If not, how about you stop being a faggot troll and have some respect.

Defense needs to be patched asap, everyone online runs the Pistol because you can't stop the shit.

So I noticed in Connected Franchise you can completely edit your player's appearance if you use a legend (you can change their face, skin tone, adjust body sliders, height/weight, etc.) But you can only do this if you use a legend. If you use an active player all of those options are mysteriously gone just like they are when you play as an owner. It seems really stupid not to allow us to fully edit players, if they're not going to take the time to make sure the players are solid then at least let us fix them.

I've never understood why we can't edit ratings. It's my game, I paid for it now let me fucking play it

Pretty sure that I read that you're able to fully edit your roster before you import it to CFM.

I meant during a franchise like in 2K. So what if I want to change all my draft picks to superstar potential or the opposite. I get removing this from online franchises but no reason to remove it from offline if its just me playing. Let me create/destroy my fantasy world at will

The only other thing you can edit before starting your franchise is the ratings. I want to be able to fix some of these shitty player models though, let me fix the model sliders, face, and skin tone like you can as a legend in connected franchise is what I'm saying.
