Is Madden 25 worth $39.99?

[riley420]

The xbox one version is on sale through amazon for $39.99. I haven't played in a few years, and was thinking about trying it again.

can probably get pre-owned at GS for cheaper

ps4 or bust. an online game is only as good as the community behind it.

29.99 would be better.

I would say yes... for me easily. Hell, most people spend that going out to dinner one time.

If you are going to play it once? No. If you play 10 games that's $3.99 per game or per hour basically. That's the definition of cheap entertainment.

You mean craigslist? You know gamestop keeps used games at $54.99 for about 6 months.

I think its a good deal for the Next gen version. I think its much better than the current gen version.

If you have the PS3 Madden, yes ... trade in immediately. If you have xbox 360 Madden, it's not as easy a decision. Frankly, it comes down to your Madden devotion. If you're an absolute Madden junkie, just do it. If you own the ps3 version of Madden, it's a no-brainer. PS3 Madden has so many flaws.

He said he hasn't played in a few years....

But yeah, I say go for it at that price. Game isn't a drastic difference from the 360 version but there will be enough stuff to keep you entertained if you have had that long of a break from playing Madden.

No...

How is the PS3 version different than the 360 version?

Game is worth it IMO....

Now don't get me wrong the game is far from perfect and the announcing gets dull very fast but with some tweaks to gameplay and camera angle I think this years version is a really solid game to have in your collection.

And just a heads up if you like Classic rosters with guys like Montana, Elway, Reggie White, Warren Moon and Bo Jackson grab the XBOX version as I have an entire decade of Madden Football 1990's rosters to use for added replay value.

Hundreds of guys that we all used to play with on the old Playstation/Super Nintendo versions of Madden

To me the Xbox 360 graphics are a little better and it feels like you have better control over your player.

Sorry for not answering this earlier.

It seems that all the PS3 guys have issues with load times, menu load times and what-not ... and 360 EA Sports games always look better than PS3 games and run in 1080p.
All the issues PS3 guys had with Madden disappeared with the PS4 Madden.

Ok. I do think that the PS3 versions have looked a bit "off" the past few years. Games in rain and in domes look weird. The lighting appears off. As for loading times, they seemed to be the same to me.

Just EA being lazy. There's no excuse why those same issues persist year after year.

I wish someone would do this with the XBone version. I've downloaded a few rosters where people described them as having tons of classic players but it's usually onle oen or two per team and that's just lame. Heck, I'd probably be happy if I could figure out how to get the EA classic players, like Barry Sanders, Waler Payton, Troy Aikmen, etc into a CFM.

You will probably start to see more complete rosters in the 2nd year of the New Systems.

Everything has to be created from the ground up which means more guys will have to actually role up their sleeves and put in the hours in order to have those kinds of rosters on Next Gen.

Just from my experience when building Classic rosters from the ground up it usually takes about a year and half to get a nice quality roster set out to the community.

There are some guys who can get it done sooner but usually those rosters are incomplete as you mentioned and only focus on the Star players and not the entire team(s).

Classic rosters are always good to have on older games just in case EA starts to get lazy on us with the New Systems and not make much progress in those 1st few years like they did with Last Gen consoles.

I didn't start enjoying Madden again until Madden 11....I went almost 3-4 years without really playing the game and enjoying it once it hit XBOX 360.

Got this in yesterday. So far, it seems just like Madden.

On the PS3 version there was someone that copied over a lot of your rosters and it definitely made the game a lot more fun.
