[quote=Mattyk;1020640]Madden 25 is pretty good. Incremental improvements over last year but improvements regardless. The read option stuff is fun, the hit stick finally feels useful again, and they cleaned up the [B]physics issues[/B] from last year. The player celebrations are pretty cool too, Morris does his home run swing after a TD. Griffin kneels and prays then points a finger to the sky.

The first few games I played I admit I wasn't having much fun. Even on slow the game speed feels fast. Perhaps because I was so used to NCAA.

Also got to tweak the sliders to your liking.[/quote]


Did they fixed that whole problem of the runningback collapsing to the floor even when he is barely touched by a defensive player? I didn't like that in last year's Madden.

Re: Madden 25
 

I got paid today (unexpectedly soon considering I just started working last week) so I'm picking this up tomorrow.

Hope it's good.

It still happens once in a while, but for the most part they've cleaned up that stuff.

If anything the backs are maybe a little overpowered. You can truck the shit out of the defense. Morris will plow through a couple of guys before he goes down. Stiff arms are nasty too. I've had to turn up the tackling slider for the D.

Re: Madden 25
 

Running is really easy this year (maybe it's just AlfMo & RGIII). I'm thinking of adjusting the sliders a bit to compensate.

Re: Madden 25
 

Yeah running is way too easy. Gotta work the sliders.

Re: Madden 25
 

Yeah I got a copy the first day it came out. I'm a big Ultimate Team guy myself, but the running is "smoother" this year. When you back runs up into the back of one of his O-Line men, he will use his free arm to sort of push off to get around the guy, which is more realistic than the "butt fumble, Mark Sanchez" type move they would do last year. I will also say that the DBs are nasty this year, as far as picks go. You really have to have a pretty good open window to complete a pass. I play on All Pro and a good corner or saftey will snatch anything close if he is near the ball.

Does anyone know if there is a way to play with Sean Taylor but still control the whole team in connected careers (franchise) mode? Would be a lot of fun. Still awesome to be able to use him though.

Re: Madden 25
 

This is my first time buying the Madden game and I love it.

Re: Madden 25
 

anyone know if they fixed the salary cap glitch that was present in madden 13?
it kinda ruined the game for me, i would be over negative $40m up until the draft - never a chance to sign any free agents.

i was able to amass over 20 1st round picks every season but it was extremely hard to trade for top shelf talent.

i'm waiting for the price to go down before i buy this one; still playing 13, in the 5th season on my franchise.

Good slider set

Can't believe it but the game actually plays much smoother with them

Re: Madden 25
 

I'm pissy that the roster update doesn't work at all in connected franchise, at least not for the PS3.

Update rosters, import roster into connected franchise and viola! You still have the same old ass roster before the update!

EA really twists my dreads.

eh maybe not so good after all, every game is a shootout and the ball never hits the ground

Re: Madden 25
 

good news, i signed verner and tate; on the cheap:
verner 7 year/ 42m / 7m guaranteed
tate 7 year / 27.3m / 6.3m guaranteed

i really like that you can save your ccm [B]during[/B] the draft in madden 25.

Re: Madden 25
 

Golden or Ben?

Re: Madden 25
 

I'm not sure what's going on here...just saw them randomly below an article.
