@@chrisvaliddd if you don’t know just say you don’t know. But I’ll inform you, how players move with the ball in their hands and without it is something you can already change, “you” just don’t know that. When the mod comes out for Madden 25 I’m certain you can do it again.

Such a small detail but look at 15:53 when #2 pats Tua on the back and his pads shake. I know gameplay comes first but I love seeing stuff like that. Same with the streamers they added to the FG posts (though there’s no wind in this game and they’re moving like crazy)
I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m really having fun with NCAA, not sure I’m gonna buy Madden this year. Felt like Madden has been very disappointing last 10-15 years. We’ll see, thanks for the vid Eric!
I'm so happy about the new pass trajectory animations. I'm so tired of 280 pound linebackers leaping 9 feet in the air to bat a pass away over the middle
@@Day12MyI agree, but tbf Jalen got the ball with 2-3 seconds left. The video screens are high up in Hard rock meaning before he snapped it, he would’ve had to look high up, look back down at the center, snap, then spike… he’s not going to do that, so it makes more logical sense to just run a play than try to spike it and it be the end of game! It’s a risk that isn’t worth taking imo, so if tbf it does make some sense in this situation.
Madden 25 looks really good despite all the doubts. The new graphics and logo designs give me noslogia for some reason and I love it. Reminds me of the good madden 13,15, and 25 days.
Dude. That is so sweet. I'm a Dolphins fan, and I only run with the Dolphins. I love that playbook. One change I would love to see is a change of the logo on the field when teams go to their throwback unis. When the Dolphins switch to their throwbacks at home, that logo in the field changes. Please make the suggestion.
Running animation looks better than 22-24 but some of the tackles have noticable warping and shifting like CFB25. Almost like the game decided late on the animation and then sped it up. 13:52 is a good example of this. Oddly enough, M21 on next gen had less shifting when you played on 0 threshold.
@@DonaldPookieTrump your a spoiled lil boy living with mommy haha I don’t argue over games talking about big dawg don’t use our slang 🤡 you pressed over a game trying to attack and call ppl sheep nobody scared of you wanna be high school bullies dude 😂
Not quite. “Switch Sticking” will switch to the guy you tell it to switch to. The old way usually went to the guy closest to the ball carrier but didn’t always work that way. I cannot count how many times it would switch me to a guy that was not the closest to the ball carrier and was not anywhere near in position to make a play on them. “Switch Sticking” will at least give us a much better opportunity to play on the receiver and/or ball carrier.
Wow... The finally did some work on the past trajectory since the PS2/XBOX original era. Congratulations EA you finally listened after all these years.
Madden really got to start adding tattoos to the players who have them ! Idk how they forget that "touch of realism" for real though . Like we are in next gen g0d damm!+
EA is also the only game that still has set faces. I get they are in a helmet but 2k and The Show give set faces AND let you manipulate the face to look how ever you want.

As someone who been a fan of Miami since I was a kid I can’t wait to watch them cook in madden 25…. I have college and madden this year gonna be a lot of football
Eric coming in clutch. I'm knee deep in the three-week EA FC 25 beta right now, so I've enjoyed the recent videos about CFB 25 patching and this video with Madden 25 gameplay. I will definitely have to switch to Madden at launch. Across its various franchises, 2024 seems to be a big year for updates. CFB 25 obviously is back but Madden is fresh (including franchise) and EA FC 25 has plenty of new enhancements to its Career Mode. Hopefully, we can stay trending in this direction.
Did you hear about Ubisoft's new fantasy football game? NFL Primetime Fantasy. They could've revived NFL Fever, which they acquired from Microsoft in 2005.
This game looks great in a lot of ways but, why in the hell can't EA get the CPU to understand basic ideas like kicking the field goal to go to OT there?
Yeah there’s literally no excuse. This has been a problem for years and they don’t even bother addressing it. No deep dives no Q&A answers about it…. They just ignore it. They rarely refine the CPU logic
@@christianlopes6386 lol we'll probably see some terrible decisions during the ending of simulation games. Saw some watching MMG CFB25 videos also. It really doesn't make sense why. Should be fairly basic if/then statements in the engine...

Love to see the cpu go for a game winning td from the 19 instead of playing for ot. None of theses gameplay improvements matter if the ai is brain dead
After NCAA 25, this looks CRAZY SLOW. I get the speed differential college to pro, but these dudes look like they running in cement, not that everybody else is fast
The only reason Jalen Hurts does that low squat during the snap was because Jason Kelce would snap the ball very low so since Jason Kelce retired it’s not very accurate any more
the thing is that jalen used to do that stance because of how kelce snapped the ball so i wonder if he’ll change up his stance in real life with his new center
Gameplay looks much improved, but why do the sidelines look the same from ps2 days? why don't we have different scoreboards for presentation? Game should be so much more, doesn't look or feel anything like NFL Sundays.
These games don’t actually be that bad. Everyone complains expecting the game to be perfect and it NEVER will be. Even if 2k make a game, that game will have problems. And yall will complain about that. Nobody even tries to enjoy the games anymore. It’s like yall buy the games just to complain about them.
wdym? every feature from cfb25 asides wear and tear is in the game stick shift custom route stems new hot routes new blocking options there’s also features in the game not in cfb25 like the new spec catch animations boom tech and signature animations
It looks as though EA has done a great job at putting together this year’s Madden game! The game play looks so fun. Now to just wait for the glitches and issues that occur throughout the year. But I am happy that I pre-ordered the game.
The immersion gets ruined when the CPU doesn’t have the awareness to spike the ball and kick a fg…not sure why this was completely ignored in your video being that it was a crucial moment in the game
New commentators/announcers weren't available on the build I got to record on otherwise I would've let you guys hear them of course.
Didn't they just change the rules in the NFL in regards to the cheat motion. Motioning moving forward before the snap.
Honestly don’t even remember it just looks like so much fun so

N I ain gon lie the defensive celebrations gon be cool at first but I think I tell get annoying real quick unless you can skip through it
I’m convinced madden is back this looks 🔥 and I didn’t even say that about 23 or 24 it’s finally back to the classic smooth movement that it use to be
The goat upload back to back grind season ❤❤❤❤
Fr he's grinding this year.
They could’ve added the way the defense move around pre play to college football
none of this matters if the cpu doesn’t know when to kick a game winning field goal

The game still has too many animations that slow down the fluid motion of the game.
They had so much time to spike and go for a field goal.
Camera needs to click up just a little bit. Looks a little too low or flat. I wish they would add in custom camera angles to set how you like.
Does every turnover result in a group celebration?
So....is the switch stick able to be disabled?
Rayweather keeps us inform!! Love it bro 💪🏾💪🏾

The only reason Jalen Hurts does that low squat during the snap was because Jason Kelce would snap the ball very low so since Jason Kelce retired it’s not very accurate any more
We haven’t even seen him take a snap without Kelce…
Not true, Hurts said he does it cuz he feels more mentally prepared for the play
the scoreboard flag animation for penalties is dope its not the entire scoreboard just the spot where the downs are i havent seen that since ncaa 14
the thing is that jalen used to do that stance because of how kelce snapped the ball so i wonder if he’ll change up his stance in real life with his new center
Would’ve like to see the cpu kill the clock and go for the field goal
The blitz feature takes away the suspense of not knowing who's going to blitz, but it's good to now know. lol

No momentum meter?
Man, how are the improvements always so underwhelming - they've removed routes too? You can't select zig routes according to KB.
