Madden 25 will always have a soft spot in my heart. It's also one of the most fun Maddens you can play. The animation and ragdoll physics are pretty nice in slowmo 😂 I'm currently experimenting on Madden 19. You can make the gameplay pretty smooth on there. But the out of box experience is trash. But don't give up on it! You just need good settings!

@@SimFootballFanatic hmm interesting. Gave up on 19 years ago, might have to take another look.

@@ReallyGotMotion The default settings are garbage so I honestly can't blame you bro. I happened to see it on YT when Throne played it a year or so ago and something caught my eye. I saw potential there and with some tweaking, you'll come to see its gameplay is very similar to Madden when it launched on next gen. Settings wise, I'm still dialing in the Speed Parity Scale but I've got a WIP settings guide: Difficulty: All-Pro Game Type: Simulation Game Speed: Very Slow No Auto "Help" Toggles, Manual only 8 Speed Threshold 8 might appear too slow but higher values result in blockers moving way too fast. If you want more of an APF 2K8 experience, turn it to 0. That'll be the smoothest animations you can get. Threshold can be adjusted to preference but Gameplay Speed MUST be very slow.

I appreciate M25 because you don't get sucked into animations. the game relies on physics for most outcomes. It might not be the prettiest physics but it's better than suction animations lol

It will always have a soft spot in my heart, just like 06 for the GameCube!

They took a great step forward for sure with the next gen version of this game for XB1 & PS4 but immediately started to change it the following year for whatever reason.

@@SimFootballFanatic Same happened with NHL 14 to 15 and beyond. Had such a good premise to it and showed a lot of promise for the future, only for EA to do what EA does and completely screw it all up.

@@djsinis even the next year, they immediately changes the running style to some weird upright and robotic motion. It was broken, just needed slight tweaks. I'm convinced they don't know how to motion capture real athletes running 😂

You haven't played Madden 17 then

I have. I think Madden 18 is better imo.

I haven't played it yet but I might pick it up around Black Friday

One of the more underrated features, and I hate even calling it a feature, that they've given us.

I used to play that one but I started liking M18 more.

I never played the Xbox One version until I made my first video on it 😂

I could instantly tell when Madden 12, 13, 25 when came out that it was good due to the physics and fluidity of the gameplay. It literally wasn't hard to tell being that Madden 06 to 11 was clunky, robotic, and slow.

Oh yeah, the first handful of 360 Maddens were hot garbage lol

Most of the time. A lot of the music I choose is copyrighted. You'll get a copyright claim on a video, which means you can't monetize it, but you can still use the video. You only have to worry about a copyright strike, not a claim.

@@SimFootballFanatic thx i just used that music in my recent yt video! I hope they didnt remove it

I'm sure someone will attempt something similar in the future. Maximum doesn't look too good from what I've seen. It's still really rough.

I upscale my videos for YT. That's why the video is sharper than it would normally be.

EA cut the servers off unfortunately. I can't share these rosters anymore 😔

@@SimFootballFanatic Noticed you got a,discord server. May i join. Link dead

Our Madden 25 Discord is BACK! And if you're on XB1/XSX, I may have found a way to share rosters, even with the servers being down! discord.gg/ggeC5zAnjt

@@SimFootballFanatic Joined! Can i switch teams in game on franchise mode

@@yawnnlawnn7067 That's a very good question... I haven't tried that lol
