Madden Teaser Trailer: Welcome Presentation Stuck

I feel like Pink Floyd's 'Welcome to the Machine' should be playing in the background as I type this blog.

It only seems fitting since the Madden hype machine is now getting into gear -- and today's teaser trailer definitely has gotten OSers talking.

Here's my bullet list of things I think are big news from the trailer:

-TV Style presentation looks to be a focal point this year: The camera on the Field Goal, the new entrances, and the overhead shot in Pittsburgh are all new and things you'd see on TV as far as camera angles. This is a smart move and means EA is going the 'mimic the TV broadcast' route I've pandered for now at least 3-4 years.

-It seems as if some classic players will be in the game for Ultimate Team -- which may or may not be a great thing since Madden didn't feel all that 'natural' for the mode to begin with.

-I think we might very well finally have a new running animation, but I don't want to get too excited just yet.

-It seems as if there are some new player tendency ratings or something along those lines. If so, it's about freaking time.

-Looks like we got team specific entrances perhaps? That's another nice touch with presentation.

-The custom playbooks and surprise onside kicks aren't surprising at all -- one probably should have been in the game for 5-6 years now, you can guess which one.

-Ray Rice looks to be on a cold streak -- probably has something to do with the dynamic player ratings and whatnot we're hearing about.

-It seems EA is doing something with it's online mode. There is a chat going on in the lobby, I'm betting it's a spectator mode or something along the lines of just an overall improved online mode with an online franchise lobby.

Overall the Teaser Trailer is just what it says it is, a tease. Anyone getting mad for real information coming out probably should look up the definition of teaser trailer and get back to the rest of OS on how foolish you sound.

Right now, no solid confirmation on what anything fully means here, but it certainly seems like EA is off to another good start on getting the hype to build leading into August.

As far as whether the Madden crew has fixed many of the gripes many have had about the series for a few years, we'll leave the jury out on that one and take a wait and see approach.

BTW thanks for the blog Chris. I'm greatly appreciative because I did NOT want to sift through the 300+ posts of speculation in the forums area on what people think they thought they might have seen possibly appear in the teaser.

Jerseysuave exactly i remember when I first got my 360 expecting g this whole new revamped madden and come to find out they took damn near all the features frm the previous gen off!!!!! Talkin about pissed off I have absolutely no faith in ea, Ian, and their whole management when they tell us lies year after year about franchise

I'm still waiting to see IN GAME presentation. Pregame cut scenes are nice for the first time, but I think they get skipped at least 95% of the time

What would really add to pregame and make a lot more people watch it is a more in depth pregame analysis. The only thing that ill be looking for is if they add old features and call them new. However I'm looking forward to Madden again this year and playing franchise mode hour after hour. Just don't give me player roles and call it new.
