Sick of hearing about 3 year plans, short dev cycles and whatever, every year these things are said.
They have tech to implement something as simple as a decent half time show and have fallen significantly short every year...im not even a presentation guy and it pains me.

As for gameplay, the graphics look great, the overlays good too but man, the same awful animations!
They say they are focusing on defense this time around (long friggin overdue if you ask me) and yet where are the gang tackles and new tackle animations? Has any of these guys watched a game of NFL? defenders missile themselves into ball carriers even when they're an inch from the ground but in the video i just watched and in the maddens i've played they just stand around or walk away - ridiculous.

How in 2014 and on something as powerful as these consoles is there not an abundant and a superfluous amount of tackle/break tackle animations? The amount of times i've seen that stiff arm attempt tackle that lasts like 3 seconds in 25 and earlier games is a joke.

It's laughable that that Rex guy calls out 2K - while the license is still held by them (tough guy) - and yet you've just reminded a lot of us how 2K still have it over EA in areas still to this day.

If they would have kept building off of the Extra Point show I think it could have turned out pretty good.

I have no idea why we're talking about the halftime show in a thread that has nothing to do with the halftime show.

We'll be getting back on-topic now. Thanks.

Relax guys. This is an early build.

The sad thing is that, we may have a culmination of 15 years of foreseeable bad football gaming.

...That's insane...

A feel like there is an alternate universe/dimension out there, where this is against the laws of nature.. And we have a decent fball game.

Both are pretty sad. Especially 10's. Like you said they should've built on it. "Top plays from the first half, here ya go". ???? Where was the breakdown? Why did they show a ten yard run? Etc..

The extra point show was also flawed but did a lot of things better:

1.) "Live studio person"
2.) A second "anchor"
3.) Updates from other games
4.) Replays were handled better - panned out instead of zoomed in on just 1 or 2 players
5.) Multiple stat screens
6.) Commentary not as choppy
7.) Personal stats shown

New one had this better:

1.) Music
2.) Referencing dominate performance by 49ers
3.) I liked how they showed Kap celebrating in slo mo after a Gore TD. Just don't show the player who scored. That was actually my favorite nugget from the piece.

Both are terrible but the newer one is still worse than the other.

We need a QB awareness slider so QBs on all-pro can be made smarter and CPU QBs on all-madden can be dumbed down to avoid robo QB and Havre backups always play well.
