Defense wins championships, but it doesn't get me to buy a football game.

Not sure why anyone would pre-order Madden. Unless there is a discount for doing so, there is no reason to pre-order.

Also, not sure why people crap on Madden. It's football, licensed football. Not really alot of room for change or innovation. Next-gen consoles will make graphical improvements, but I don't see where else they will go with it. Defensive and offensive line AI is an area that needs to be improved, but not sure they will be able to get there for a few more years.

I agree, but then again there are, no joke, 6 gamestops within 10 miles of me, along with all the regular big box retail stores, and of course digital options. So I don't see the purpose of preordering ANYTHING ever.

Agreed for the most part. I really wish they'd also fix minor annoying things, like creating a playbook, wider camera angles (I usually play as a CB on D), save highlights. There's other stuff too but I can't think of them until I play the game and face the problem lol

Hey guys, got a question for you. I havent played the first 24 Madden games, should I start from the begining or will there be a intro cut scene that fill in the plot of the first 24?

Just go on the wiki, you can read up on it there.

I like how the sound effects the exact same for every tackle. Adds to the realism.

your choices from the previous Madden carry over. The game is totally different if you chose to kill Randy Moss in '13.

Madden NFL 25? MY TIME MACHINE WORKS!!! Also, this place has really fallen apart since Dave left. 12 years and no design update? I expected a futuristic hologram interface by now.

OK, seriously, I still think naming it Madden NFL 25 is extremely dumb.

So it's the same defensive AI as last year's but with new action names?
Also, hearing Trey Wingo right off the bat is not a good thing, EA Sports.
