They will move FAR more next gen Madden games in 2014 when it is the normal launch window and more systems have been sold imo.Quote:

Sounds promising. The FIFA videos look great so I'm not sure why MADDEN is so hesitant to release REAL and SUSTAINED gameplay videos. FIFA has dozens. It's now time for Madden to step up.Quote:

Agreed Rudy. Based on the fact that this game is slightly over one month away from release and there has been no official sustained real gameplay footage is frustrating. Since the game comes out before the new system, we really need to hear a full in-depth analysis and see a full game played.Quote:

Not really surprising. I do remember liking the better blocking in the IGN E3 video. I saw more dynamic movement on the line. I'd love to see smarter cpu AI with better playcalling and use of their personel but for the first game as a port I kind of doubt we will see that right away.Quote:

Where was the podcast. I have long assumed Madden 25 was going to be the same plus better graphics and if that is the case I'll prob just spend my $60 elsewhere. The smart glass feature is interesting but its not going to be on PS4 so that's another reason to not buy the product.Quote:

Which was 100% of the price for only 50% of the game, since defense was forgotten this year. :drum:Quote:

I used to think porting was a good thing and I campaigned for it because I didn't want to take any steps backwards this generation. But I'd like to get a football game that looked and felt different and hopefully in a good way. That's not going to happen for this game imo.
And EA pulls the video due to negative reaction. The game is close to gold or has already gone gold! This is the game folks! If you are pulling videos because you are embarrassed with how it looks you might as well cancel it and work hard on getting it better for next year. Maybe the game has to be experienced to appreciate it. I don't know but this is not looking good for EA.
Edit: OS has a copy of the video that can still be viewed. People are wondering where the true step motion stuff went. One guy at E3 was really happy with it but isn't seeing it in the video.

Back up on youtube... If this is next gen consider me happy staying with current gen for awhile. I had a Syphon Filter flashback with those running animations.

I cannot access the video anywhere. EA must be petrified to release this game at this point.
Get it while it lasts.Quote:

Click on the OS link I posted above if they go down again. They took the video and put it on its own site. It's not subjected to someone pulling it back from youtube.Quote:

Even better go to the thread for the video at OS. Priceless.Quote:

EA seems to be doing everything it can to avoid showing real footage. Look at that smart glass video, they move away from the game to the smart glass each time the ball is snapped (one time they show it from a distance). It is a month away and there are no competitors that might steal one of their ideas. They are getting lambasted the past few weeks over the quality of these ESPN videos and all EA has to respond with is "feel this" and "count all the blades of glass."Quote:

I have the $60 credit but honestly at this point I'm not really sure if the grass and crowd is worth ten bucks. I can give them the benefit of the doubt on this release but the next Madden in August better be pretty darn impressive or else I would consider this series done.Quote:

I think that's the point. It's the same game with slightly better graphics when you look at the videos. For those that weren't happy with Madden it was disappointing. For some guys predicting Madden next gen would blow us away it was disappointing. For anyone trying to justify blowing $500 on next gen just to get the next gen Madden it's disappointing. At the very least the game won't take a step backwards which is what everyone was pissed off about this gen.Quote:

No. I think they had armed guards wherever that was being developed. :DQuote:

I think if you enjoy Madden, it's not a big deal to spend another $10 to upgrade.
If you're buying a new console JUST for it, probably not the best idea.
I'm not getting the PS4 just to play Madden. I plan on Battlefield, FIFA, NBA, and maybe another title since Watch_Dogs is delayed. Then in 2014, Watch_Dogs, Destiny, just to name a few.
I thought the idea of MUT being able to be carried over was ho-hum news, but I've been playing the shit out of MUT this year. So I'm kind of excited for that to carry over and play on the next gen. Not sure if the collections reset or not. Kinda hope they do so I can re-do them, and I get some bonus packs for the ones I finished on the PS3.
If only GTA V had been released earlier, you guys could have prepped a heist. The real question is which of you would be trevor?Quote:
