First FULL Official Gameplay of Madden 25

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.

[@joaquinrojas1345]

The running animations are so good bro I really got hype for this game

[@SimFootballFanatic]

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.

[@Ace21kg]

doesn't look too bad when you slow it down

[@willyc4082]

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.

[@JimSavell]

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.

[@chaunceyroberts6958]

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.

[@erek_awesome]

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

[@GOCAPSDMV]

@@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.

So "switch stick" is just a remapping of pressing circle or B to switch defenders?

[@ObiWanKenobi-wx7jt]

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.

I dont understand why the NFL is allowing EA too get away with the no huddle/walk too the line. U taking 12 seconds off the clock each play, but what about those critical situation when u have 12 seconds left and want too call a timeout. U could rush to the line and spike the ball, leaving about 6-8 seconds. Then do a Hail Mary or something. even hopefully get a pass interference call, like in older games. So what is it now, just lose the game?? This is not realistic and if u want too be the only exclusive simulation game in the NFL, then be realistic. Bring the walk to the line back in the game like in College Football 25. Come on Man!!
