Been obsessed with comparing madden maximum and ncaa recently and found this video. It’s astonishing to find How real madden can be and they almost just choose not to. The run at 2:02 is something I never saw madden do before. It’s a shame it’s like the better tech we get from game companies the worse madden gets
I think I legit would have gained another 10 yards had he not assisted Luke Kuechly with the tackle lol I'm honestly more hopeful for M25 than I have been in YEARS. Authentic runs styles, better physics, outcomes, animations, this could be a year to get back into Madden. But we will see!
I STRONGLY recommend Very Slow/100 or Slow/0 when it comes to Speed/Threshold. They really give the animations time to shine and enhance the feel of the game. It's not perfect, but it's probably the best Madden at combining all three. Enjoy!
This is odd to me since 18 was the first to use the Frostbite Engine which was totally animation dependent. Unless they were still using the Ignite engine for physics and just used Frostbite for graphics. Then totally abandoned to Ignite for Frostbite in 19 of course. I always thought I had less user control with 18 when compared to earlier Maddens bur maybe I'm thinking of 19.
18 still incorporated ragdoll despite transitioning to more animations. If it wasn't for the legs going limp like they got shot on tackles, I think it's actually a pretty good system! But I've grown pretty fond of 19's gameplay once you tweak the gameplay speed and speed threshold
Madden 18 is a good blend of everything. M25 is definitely my favorite but the animation library is quite limited. I've been mostly playing Madden 19 when I do game.
I've been playing 18 most this time still just bc of the physics. Crazy how 19 just ripped physics right out without a word. It amazes me how EA manages to find ways to regress. I only went back to 23 now cuz I got my PS5 after my PS4 bricked and none of my saves were on cloud, so my CFM was gone. M23 is mildly playable after all the patches now I guess, but they ruined so much by removing physics.
I have it on gamepass but uninstalled it after like 15 minutes lol I felt like the game was playing itself and I was just watching. That's how I feel when there's no physics present. While the user experience isn't the best on M19, if you're into visual simming or coach mode, it's not half bad when the CPU strings together all the animations. If you ever try M19 again, set the gameplay speed to very slow and set the threshold to 0. It's quite smooth looking.
Yo totally doing a MARCH 2023 update to my roster from last year , referring to madden 25 , this iPad i got helps me Surf depth charts easier lol. May use preexisting QBs so their behavior is better then created ones.
@@SimFootballFanatic 2k8 has the best gameplay hands down. I can get behind 25 and I love 05-08’s gameplay. 2k always was ahead of madden gameplay-wise, depth and immersion was madden’s thing. Now we have neither good gameplay nor immersion
If I had proper recording software and a good laptop, I would have stayed on 2K8 but because I couldn't share my content, I moved to M25 , which launched my channel into what it is today.
Gameplay on this Madden was good. It felt decent and it looked good. I don’t care for this Madden because of the way the color of the game looked and also the franchise and modes were bad. Gameplay was the only thing this game did good. I played it 2 years straight because Madden 19 was bad
Madden 17 almost does it for me but the user control just isn’t good enough for me... Madden 18 has more user control then probably any Maddens on that gen of consoles. I will have to do something with that color tho. Also I’ll make sure I get them speed threshold and game speed right. I’m going to do Slow/0 or Normal/0
Madden 10 does it for me on the PS3 out of all the rest I would say. It was between 12-13-11-10 10 just had a little more bells and whistles so honestly that’s why I’m sticking with it. It’s gameplay is fun but not the most smooth and realistic that I would like. It’s fun and keeps you immersed. That’s all that should matter. If you can find realistic gameplay good job that’s a bonus with Madden just can be so hard to find.

Very Slow/100 or Slow/0 gameplay has always looked the best. Madden makes players move too fast and calls it "realism" 😂
Absolutely, those are the only settings I run on this game. Depends on my mood. Lol.
Normally, I would be a COD main but sometimes I need a break from COD and these older maddens are my go-to.
Same! Madden 25, 18, and 19 are all I play. Lol.

Who thought Madden 18 could look this good.
they need to add the ragdoll physics back in or we just gonna be playing madden 25/18 for the next 20+ years 😂
Same 😂😂😂 And honestly, I'm here for it 🤷♂️
People don’t realize too, Precision movement is literally “360 one cut” but better lol, Gives all options to Jukes spin n stiff

I always give every QB ideal sense pressure, throw away ball, and conservative force passes because they play so terribly without it. Lol.
Very true!
Is this pc or console? Looks great.
Series X!
Let's all NOT buy madden 24, instead of giving them our money despite years of disliking the product
This makes me want scream in pain lol
The ragdoll is a little over the top. I think the ragdoll looks better in Madden 25 if we're being honest lol

Yeah, I can only tolerate M19 if I'm doing coach mode or creating rosters. The joy of playing it isn't there for me in that game.

😂
Madden 15 much better
I haven't played it, but I do remember comparing ball carrier movement on it vs 25 to determine which one to buy many years ago. Lol.
