    Madden NFL 25 - Xbox 360

    • Madden 25 playing just like it
    • This is the stupidest most retarded game I have ever played
    • Every play feels like the butt fumble
    • The secondary play is better than its collegiate counterpart, but still lacks the dynamic, fundamentally sound gameplay that many (myself included) desire.
    • It seems every version has major bugs ('11) or bad game play tweaks ('12) or completely missing
    • I like this game, best madden thus far, finally for once the online play isn't hardly laggy like in the past, & it's only laggy every once in a blue moon.
    • Online play is amazing but can be laggy at times
    • In contrast to the last 2 years, the automatic, post-play replays in this edition of Madden are horrible.
    • If you have a good Safety or Cornerback, you want to see them diving to break up a play.
    • But running plays are easier to run because the camera shows openings and holding the RT on your controller gives you a big speed burst
    • If you've played Madden 13, then it's the same old stupid mistakes but in a new box:-Defensive AI is awful
    • this game I am rating at five stars because of the outstanding deal and the graphics and my son was happy and always enjoys playing Madden
    • (Did you just do an awesome play-action pass, holding the safeties long enough for your receiver to get open for a 45-yard touchdown
    • Also Madden has somehow made the game play look even more real than last year which is so great when your playing because you almost forget your playing the game
    • It ruins team play and communities, which is pretty much why I play the game since I do not have time to play for hours and hours at a time.
    • You may experience moments of frustration, especially on defense, but this is the most enjoyable Madden I've played in four years.
    • my son hasn't stopped playing since he received it for Christmas, loves the madden series of games, thanks so much
    • I like this game, best madden thus far, finally for once the online play isn't hardly laggy like in the past, & it's only laggy every once in a blue moon.
    • My son enjoy playing football and this was the best gift for him
    • The game moves very slowly and drags along slowly play to play
    • But, not every running play is a 3-yard gain; even for the user.
    • This is just one example of how the play by play call is very lame, hasn't been decent since it was Madden himself
    • Great game play
    • It is the most frustrating game I've ever played
    • You can make him work by making smarter plays with him, but in the game, it will still be hard for him to make plays he doesn't do well in real life, like run and throw, long balls etc.
    • The secondary play is better than its collegiate counterpart, but still lacks the dynamic, fundamentally sound gameplay that many (myself included) desire.
    • guysInterceptions are really annoying...they move in slow motion and the ball jumbles around really slow and looks super awkwardMadden took a huge step back in this game...slowed the play down, changed preplay hot route configurations around again but don't have an option to go back to last years version like before, made audibles 100x more complicated...took the fun out of putting players at different positions and can't audible out of and empty setThis Madden is boring and slow and the fun that was left in the franchise has been almost completely removedMadden has gotten to the point where they aren't focused on making a quality game but focusing more on how to make the game boring so people don't glitch and make other kids madDefinitely going to try to sell this game ASAP
    • , it's full of bs and yelling at the TV, but it's a game that we all enjoy playing
    • I love the online game play of this and all the new features are great!!
    • Great game as far as offline play
    • I like the graphics and game play
    • Madden 25 playing just like it
    • Online play is frustrating due to controls not working in a timely manner
    • its hands down the best game i have ever played
    • It comes with all the bells and whistles you will need to be completely submerged in to the games impressive play
    • The far better menu layout along with the smoother, more fluid game play definitely makes this a Madden game well worth picking up
    • In all honesty, it's tough to play against the AI in Madden 25, while online play is still the best
    • This this best Madden that I have ever played
    • While curls and outs remain the two dominant routes, there is really no route an off man defender plays well at all
    • This this best Madden that I have ever played
    • Games are very close for the most part and have a lot of great plays on both sides of the ball...user and cpu
    • If you like to go in detail with football as well as play if out, you should enjoy this game
    • Madden 25 xbox 360 game has excellent graphics, clear game plays, all the teams and names and is very fun to play!
    • Possibly one of the worst games I have ever played
    • With all the new option plays in the game, I wouldn't be surprised if many vets lean on the training mode to get a feel for how it translates in Madden
    • Yes, certain plays will work against certain teams in real life (take the spread tight end option play that the Bears stole from the Broncos to use against Washington this year
    • You need to audible to the correct defensive play
    • As far as online goes, the AI transfers over to it as well with just awful plays.
    • You need to audible to the correct defensive play
    • so I haven't been a Madden fan very long, but I have to say this is the best football game I've played
    • So what, it is because the actual play behind it was working.
    • My son who is a football player, finds the game fun and exciting while seeing how to improve playing of his position on he team.
    • Coaches players and owners have all been in the media and we've had contract disputes as per usual
    • I may try to enjoy this game as much as I can, and being optimistic, I will probably buy next year's Madden, hoping that you fixed all of these problems and went back to the basics.
    • This is annoying as you could have a wide open receiver and the pass will fall short no matter what
    • After 30 minutes of playing this Madden 25 I'm investigating my return policy rights and considering playing something else... as much as it will suck
