Madden 25

[rocksta]

I'll dominate a Fifa 14 tournament. That other guy is pretty good too.

[DYSI]

Speaking of, is there interest in a PS3 league this year? I definitely want to avenge my SB loss.

You're better off waiting until next year and getting it for the PS4.

Did we ever decide what awful team I'm going to be yet?

I'll post a poll in the sign ups for EWBFL when it comes closer to the release. Any options you had in mind for the choices?

[Your Mom]

Raiders, Cards, Jets, Rams or anyone else you guys might think of.

Srar has gotten so cocky that she's letting other people pick her team? I'll be sure to fix that!

Also, I wouldn't list the Cards as a crappy team, video game wise they're pretty good.

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Cardinals defense is good. Offense, eh. It might be a little different with Carson Palmer thrown in the mix with Fitzgerald and Floyd. Probably not much though. They still need a solid HB. Unless you count Ryan Williams.

It's hard to say what's a crappy team, and what isn't. It seems like a majority of the teams this year are going to have an even playing field to at least compete with one another.

Video on going through a bit of owner mode

[DYSI]

This demo needs to download faster!

[livid]

It needs to just be available for PS3!

[Maxx]

I have it!

So far, after the skills trainer I will say that I hope Ball Hawk doesn't add to the already ridiculous amount of interceptions there were last year.

[DYSI]

I like the new additions to the run game but wasn't the total control passing already in the game? Like you could direct your recievers around and what not. Liking it so far though, about to run the option tutorial.

Also, the other features video shows the Jags uniforms briefly. They are absolutely hideous, lets all remember that.

[Meacon Keaton]

They wanted uniforms that reflect their play on the field.

There's a perfectly healthy Michael Crabtree hiding down on the Niners depth chart, just in case anyone missed him,

I played as the Niners and was wondering where he was. Love all the little visual upgrades by the way. Can't wait to play for real even if most of the time it will be as the Jets

[LL!]

No! Be realistic! Michael Crabtree cannot be used. REALISM.

[Cactus Drags]

I enjoyed it. The commentary still sucks, but at least they seem to have fixed the contextual keys so Phil Simms doesn't scold me for checking down to my halfback on a goddamned screen pass. The blocking AI seems much improved, seeing guards pancake guys and create lanes in the open field was fantastic, and the pass rush versus pocket battle felt more realistic too. Had a couple of sacks where Flacco was well-protected, but hung on to the ball too long and the pocket eventually collapsed, and one where Justin Smith was getting blocked, but got his left arm free and dragged Flacco down, that was awesome to see.

[Cactus Drags]

Starting to get to grips with the read option controls. Shame the Bears offense isn't really cut out for it.

[Maxx]

So the Lions getting two Madden covers in a row is the most significant moment in their franchise history, right?

[The Buscher]

Tried playing as the Packers and 3 of Rodgers' first 5 passing attempts were picked off. Alright then...

[Cactus Drags]

I think I threw something like 85% with Kaepernick and no picks.
