God I have no idea why they took this out. Being able to match up your best DB with the guys best WR (who they always move to the slot for extra OP-ness) was a good feature that won me plenty of games. Ever since its been pretty difficult trying to match DeAngelo Hall up with Dez or DeSean or Calvin, and instead they get to beat up on my other, even more terrible DBs. Really hope they sneak that one back in there.

Oh and I'm calling the SpeedSkins for the PS4 league.

Every feature they take out is so they can can re-introduce it a couple years later as some new great "feature".



And I'm pretty sure the original players get first pick for their team. Or at least hope they do.

I should probably make a thread for this in the next month or so because I feel like it's gonna fill up fast.

Just wanted to let whatever dirty XBoxer that thought that the Skins would be fun to play with this year that they have been spoken for. And so it was.

by original players do you mean the PS3 league goons or the current PS4 league goons?

Half the PS3 guys probably won't be back. PS4 guys definitely get their pick first. Your J E T S are safe, nobody in PS3 had them anyway.

For Xbox guys, we'll figure something out. I don't expect there to be any civil wars

I think I may tentatively call the Eagles on the PS4 league if that's cool? My birthday is coming up in a month, might as well treat myself. (And I never owned a PS3, so I can always revisit some games like Uncharted and The Last of Us I never got to play).

Probably fine considering I've had the Eagles for the past two years and I'm going back to the Vikings

I dunno, it doesn't sound that impressive when you hear it as:

"Why don't you develop an entirely new game flat footed after we boxed you out legally 9 years ago?"

I would hope they'd be confidant after 26 uninterrupted years making the same game when their competition has to start from scratch. Realistically that's, what, 3 years development time before they can release a game?

To me it's less like a boxer calling out an opponent and more like if Tonya Harding had crowbar'd Kerrigan's leg herself and then started talking smack about taking her to school if she recovered.

I swear to god I'm seeing like Madden 2011-12 era animations in there (or whatever the last one I bought was). Why does it always look so janky? Like, hey the textures and lighting are upgraded but the way everyone moves is just... weird. That vid Scud linked left me the exact opposite of impressed.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone think/know if there will be an NFL-themed Xbone bundle that includes Sunday Ticket a la the Madden deal from last year? I was thinking of picking up a Bone but I don't want to buy it and find out I missed out on Sunday ticket less than a month later.

I'm definitely in for the Eagles on PS4. Buying a PS4 tomorrow.

Anybody else getting amped up about people involved in the SA league streaming the league games, and easily sharing awesome videos? I think that's gonna add a whole new level of awesomeness to madden alone.

We only had like 12 people in the ps4 league this year and we still had some good streaming times and nice vids uploaded, can't wait for a full league.

Man, I just played Madden 25 after like 3 months of only playing the Show for sports games.




Madden is terible. The physics are skatey, players bend into all kinds of unnatural positions, even stats with a clear meaning like speed don't seem to matter in practice. It's amazing.

I haven't played Madden since 13, how much micro transaction bullshit has EA added to the game or have they contained that all around the Ultimate League which I don't care about?

The in-game stuff looks ok, but once the ball dies, and everything goes to canned animations, everyone looks like mindless robots.

Actually all of the post-game celebration stuff is all in-game now which is why you don't see cut-away's to celebration stuff.

Don't think so but then again last year none of us on the team even knew that was happening until the ads came out, so maybe it'll be another last minute thing.
