And luckily for those fans, they have beautifully rendered stadiums to occupy. They participate in team-specific chants, they react to particularly tense moments in the game, and most importantly they look like individual people. Instead of blocky, paper-like fans, this next-gen Madden has fully animated attendees, who look and feel like a part of the atmosphere. However, like in the next-gen version of FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25 shines brightest in the stadiums and crowds. It's almost as if a higher res texture was draped over a current-gen player model. From behind - which is how most players are seen in-game - the players look great, it's just when the camera gets tight on players' faces that they start looking a bit ugly.
Tiny details like the glare on players' helmets and the wrinkles on their jerseys, look much better than in the previous gen. The players on the field are the lucky ones though, as sideline players and coaches look like stilted robots.Īside from the hit-or-miss faces and animations, players actually look impressive. When running, passing, diving, or tackling player movements are fluid and weighty, but everywhere else they are noticeably awkward. And what detail the game adds to player faces is soon lost once the game's blocky animation routines kick in. Players look closer to their real world counterparts than they ever have before, but not on the level that some might expect. There are flashes of that ambition contained within this game, but the overall look is much more muted. Madden NFL 25 isn't the visually impressive, totally immersive football title EA Sports was hoping for, but it does introduce a few changes that hardcore fans will certainly appreciate.įirst things first: Madden NFL 25 does not look like that initial next-gen reveal trailer. With Madden NFL 25, the franchise once again takes the leap into a new generation of consoles, but does so with a lot of its baggage in tow.
MADDEN NFL 25 SERIES
The Madden NFL franchise has survived for 25 long years and several console iterations, and over that time the series has grown from a blocky, arcade-style experience to a well-oiled machine, where refinements are slight but the gameplay is razor sharp.
