    Tried the Madden 24 trial this past week and can say I'll be skipping another year :) .

      100% !! Man I remember the first year they implemented things to where the offense just started lined up at the LOS directly after selecting a play. May be small and a non issue to some, but man it just felt so lame and non immersive.

      The later Maddens just seem squarely pointed at online play; removed refs, coin toss, starting off at LOS. Stuff just meant to make each game go faster, at the expense of immersion. Same reason that franchise mode has been garbage; they don't want you to play that, but here, buy some MUT packs.

  • @giggityguns123
    @giggityguns123 8 месяцев назад +6

    I think its important to note that some of the Madden examples are recorded by simulating practice mode, which makes it look more acceptable, as the cpu can run the scripted gameplay as intended (WITHOUT USER INTERFERENCE - aka the reason one would buy the game). Apf excels in those little details and fluidities between animations, i.e. the reach out for the first down, the QB mechanics, the hit on the intermediate pass receiver. Would be crazy to see how the devs on that game would have given life to it on these newer consoles with better player builds and graphics. Now these features are either pipe dreams or marketing promises (so not promises at all) by EA.

    • @hardcount0

    • @hardcount0
      @hardcount0  7 месяцев назад +1

      Great observation. I always absolutely loved how the ball trajectory always looked better and more natural in APF. Especially the deep balls. Madden still can’t get that natural beauty to show.

  • @user-sj8to3un3l
    @user-sj8to3un3l 25 дней назад

    The Blocking. All blocking, including pocket protection and downfield blocking, is still the best in a football sim. Ball trajectory still the best in any football game. Catching animation, running animation, passing animation, tackling animation, impact moves, and animations all look fluid and smooth. 2k8 had an interactive sideline, theu had players and sidelines reacting to big plays good or bad in 2k8, the crowd cheers louder for the home team and goes a little quiet when the away team gets a big play. Weather had an impact on the game. When a player was injured, your team, coaches, and medics would check on him or call the Dr over. They reacted as they should. Injuries in real time was a cool detail. You could pull a muscle or hammy on D and still finish the play sometimes. You could have multiple players injured on 1 play if I'm remembering correctly. While being blocked you could use one of the thumb sticks to reach out for an arm tackle. The AI reacted realistically the majority of the time. Defensive A.I. played great. Db and Safties didn't just act lost and madden like. The game took skill. You were ore accurate with the feet planted and stepping into a pass. Timing helped too for routes. 3 and 5 step drops were key with timing. You actually had a realistic pocket that you could climb. You couldn't throw off your back foot across the field running backwards and still be accurate. A bunch of different passing styles to choose from for your Created player.. presentation is still better than Madden. The game is still the GOAT football sim. It feels and plays realistically. The catching animations are still beautiful and look natural. The ball trajectory is still the best in any football game. The fade worked. You could actually throw it to where only your WR could catch it or no one could. The corner of the endzone and it always looked beautiful. I think the field had real time wear and tear during the game. Snow and rain would make your Kicker, qb, wr, db. Ect slip sometimes. This was all done on 2007 3gens ago. A lot of these features are still not in madden 3gens and 17 years later. The things that are in madden are not done as good and just got added this gen. Ps5 xbox series. 2k8 had problems it had janky moments and bs moments but it is still the goat football sim. It is just sad what Madden is compared to what they easilt should be. The fact that 2k8 had all these features so long ago EA can NOT blame anyth8ng on hardware limitations.. they just have no reason to try and come up with new features and cool ideas because they are the only ones that can make a licensed football sim. They don't want to put the time, effort, money, and hardwork on new ideas or changes because football fans will buy madden. Because lack of choices. I so bad want EA and Madden to be great again and be successful and make a true football sim. They to me are making arcade games. I'm hoping that Maximum does well enough and learns enough to give madden some competition so that the have to try or that 2k still makes their arcade nfl game that "will very as close to sim as possible without being labeled a sim" I'm just glad in the near future we will have 4 football games made by 4 different developers. 4 different gameplay styles 4 different feels. 2 F2P 1 high school 1 college. I hope the best for all of them.

    EA is locked into an engine in which you there’s no sense of gravitation pull. They need a second dev team to aim for a 3-4 yr reboot.

    Tackling in Madden is atrocious, what is with all the hand-off tackles where one guy starts tackling, hands the tackle off to someone else and they stop tackling and the other guy finishes it. In isolation, madden has some nice animations but combine them into an animation driven game and lord it's a mess and looks less fluid and realistic than games 15-20 years ago. Don't even get me started on presentation, it's a joke in Madden.

    Why can't madden and 2k partner with each other?

    So disappointed in these madden football games. I think 24 is worse than 23. For some reason they don't think defense is part of the game

    NFL 2K Games: All-Pro Football 2K8 is better than any Madden game.

  • @bayoubengal

    I'm so tired of everyone talking about the old NFL 2k5 and 2k8 games. APF 2k8 was ass! No franchise mode or current players, only legends and fake teams. NFL 2k5 was good for its time, but it's unplayable now IMO, yet people have so much disdain for EA and Madden, that they still mod this game and update the rosters for it. NFL 2k5 wasn't even the best football game in 2004 when it released. That would have been Madden 2005. Now, I'm by no means a Madden fanboy, in fact, I think Madden has been trash since Madden 12, but the love people still continue to heap upon 2k5 is insane. Take away the presentation from that game, and they would have had to sell it for $10 instead of $20 like they were doing at the time.
    The Franchise mode was garbage. You couldn't fire or change coaches, and even simple things like editing players or moving them to a different position was daunting. You had to rapidly press the X button (for PS2) in order to sprint. QB AI in this game was also laughable. QBs would throw picks like they're going out of style and the game was very sluggish. In fact, NFL 2K4 was a better game than 2K5, especially gameplay. Its getting to the point now where I might have to make a video pointing out all the reasons why 2K5 is a very overrated game. Say what you will about Madden in its current state, but I couldn't go back and play NFL 2k5 unless I was feeling nostalgic.

      I do feel like this but 2k5 was smooth and realistic from ref reviews to a deep franchise mode

      Feel free to make the video, cause the gameplay from 2k5 and APF 2k8 is still superior to the trash from Madden.

      Now this is definitely a take you don’t don’t see much about the old 2k games😮. I respect it though ! They hit the spot for me every single time I go back to 2k5/2k8. Madden 05 is my favorite madden but I did like 2k5 more. I honestly get why you would have some of these opinions about the 2k games. I’d always be welcome to seeing a video like that if you did want to get one going !
