Madden 25 Demo Impressions

[Garrett67]

Well, it is a demo afterall but I haven't read too many good things at OS. Maybe its 50/50 but that isn't very good.

PS3 glitch....would never happen on 360 :bettman:

Pretty sure it happened to Virix on 360. Go ask him :dd:

 

[j.hen]

That glitch happened to me on PS3 just now, but it fixed itself on my next series.

 

[Point Blank]

Played a couple games, one on all-madden, one on all-pro. Russell Wilson completed 100% of his passes in the All-Madden game :rofl:

Yeah he lit me up too.

I'm enjoying the demo thus far.

Pros:

Presentation
Replays
Bringing over the ability to cycle through different formations during hurry up offense from NCAA
Run game improvements
New camera angle.
Zone D seems a bit improved

Cons:
Run D is still weak. Without sending any kind of heat, 4 to 5 YPC will be a breeze.
CBs still get raped by curl route
I had to some wack INT happen to me. The ball with in front of my receivers head on a streak but Sherman still somehow caught it WHILE behind me.
Like Primetime mentioned earlier, Russell Wilson was ridiculous playing against him. Couldn't at least get a swat to save my life.
Receivers/RBs still run out of bounds when still room to cut up field

I'm hearing they toned down o-line play when running option but we shall see.

I will be playing user vs user games tomorrow so I should have more impressions then.

lulz

 

 

[Aso]

Will be playing the demo in about 5 minutes and will get to play user vs user games tomorrow as well.

i dont see much change except that Rogers can scramble better than Wilson

No joke! 3.6 GB for the PS3 version.

2 hours in and it was at 92%....

 

[KNUBB]

2 hours in and it was at 92%....

Took 35 minutes for me

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

run defense is dumber than M13; curls are still money......

 

[Point Blank]

They better do something with these broken tackle, my god. Frank Gore breaks just about every initial tackle on All Madden. You shouldn't be able to truck someone and immediate swipe someone off a second later like it's nothing. C'mon EA.

Randall Cobb's stiff arm is impenetrable :rofl:

Anytime someone comes in from the side, easy broken tackle and he doesn't even slow down. Typical for a demo IIRC.

NCAA 14 plays exactly the same way. There is no defense and/or it just doesn't work properly.

when are game changers going to learn they are just testers/tax right offs with a fancy name ? its a toy company and apparently the general public doesn't like defense or this is EA'S Video game version of the NFL new rules. People want to think that no defense in NCAA 14 is normal because "hey, offense is explosive in college " but the fact is if you like defense the plays and players have been rendered dumb and useless and third or 4th and long isn't really difficult either.


No I Havent played this demo yet but 80 games of ncaa 14

The "Game Changers" are simply fluffers who don't realize they're fluffers.

I game tested Madden in Orlando and would never get invited back because I told the truth after playing the (retail) game.

That's the new now you see me and now you don't mode EA added to this years game.

Played one game on AM and Marshawn Lynch stiff-armed Clay Matthews almost effortlessly. Neck snapped back and it looked like Matthews was sucked into the ground. So the stiff-arm/broken tackles may be a bit overpowered on AM level.

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

seriously??!!
EA really doesnt care about Defense.........

i was running Pistol Read Options with Sea & 49ers and converting on 3rd and long almost everytime.
:smh:

 

[Vinsane]

Surprised more people haven't commented. I downloaded last night but, haven't picked it up to play yet. Not too encouraging after reading this and other impressions. Full build on Season Ticket will determine if this is a buy or, if Madden '12 continues to be the last Madden I bought.

 

[ryne candy]

I just looked for it to DL but it doesn't show. When I searched for Madden 25 (on PSN), it only gives the option the pre-order, but no TRY FREE DEMO.

EDIT: Found it online...it actually is in the store but I found it when I looked at Welcome page. Usually they have the game page that lets you buy it/try it, I guess because it's still a pre-order.

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

Gore pile driving over defenders like he 5 year younger....


Smart Route doesnt work on offense either :facepalm:
