So I got an early copy of Madden 25.
 

I got it 4 days early up here (dunno when it came out in other areas). When it comes to Madden, yall know I get it early regardless cause its my shit.

Game is pretty sick though, hits and breaking through tackles is much more fun. Running/kick returns are much easier. The AI is about 100 times better than Madden 12.

Shit still freezes sometimes though, gets ya boy raging especially when I didnt save my franchise shit.

Oh and Owner mode is amazing. Trades are kinda difficult to make, but that's w.e too. It can be worked around.

All in all, must by for people who have ever played madden. This years version will blow you away. I will take all questions as I did last year.

are you not playing online? if so what system

I do play online when it comes out for everyone (because stats reset).

Right now I'm just trying everything.

360.

XBL name?

PM me and I got you...don't really want a bunch of people randomly adding.

PS3

On Tuesday though

I got the digital available early....did they fix the demo glitches?

I went to the store to try to pre-order and they had no preorder deal.

So I was about to dip until the guy asked me if I wanted the game now.

Safe to say, I bought it on the spot.


They fixed some of them. Audio is still a bit messed at times and I recently sacked a qb who lay on top of my guys, got up and completed a pass. But they fixed the goaline stuff from what I've seen and AI looks good.

Word from the demo (I only played a half) it looked like the tackling and breaking tackles actualy regressed?

I was tired tho

idk.

Tuesday.

Running is a lot easier @Meth

Word noticed that.

I was Green Bay and I was running all over Seattle? That shouldn't happen.

i think its some of the same ol shit imo

From 12 to 13, I completely agree.

Gameplay this year feels much different.

Trust, the demo won't do the gameplay justice. The catching AI, running AI, tackling AI...all look much much better.

Plus @Meth , you were probably playing it on pro which is the default in the demo. Play on all Madden and you won't gain shit. But running is a good deal easier.

TBH, first time a Madden game has lived up to the hype for me since like 2006 when they had the vision cone, lol.

Gameplay from 12 to 13 was so much smoother I thought it was a huge jump.


And word I was playing on pro. I forgot to change it. or does it let you? Ionno.

12 - 13 was not the same at all. if you online play atleast.

I'm not sure, I didn't play the demo much.

I didn't find much of a difference in AI between 12 and 13, tbh. Smoother gameplay, maybe...

im playing the game game bro

havent really got deep into it

12 did not have physics engine, therefore you would just bounce off your o-line, also rocket catching & nano blitzing was 'Gayer', in 12' you were able to face catch as well as long as your reciever 6'2-6'5, another thing you would be able to stack your people in the box in 12 but in 13 if you tried to stack your player would move back into his right position.

@Phuck Yew those were mostly all 'cheese' plays that online players would use ALL THE FUCKING TIME to win. That's why there were removed/fixed

oh and. I said fuck the early digital copy. I only trust physical copies so I can wait another day.

My Saints Franchise is the shit.
