They haven't even had the oppurtunity to make NFL football games on this generation of videogame consoles! Step it up EA

here we go again!!!!. you would think by adding these things they are stepping it up...............c'mon people lay off EA . lets wait till after E3 to make a final decision about madden

My sentiments exactly...I think someone said it earlier...The Madden engine is far outdated, broken and just not conducive to building a game with REAL next gen physics, animations and overall gameplay...

I just don't think its possible to use the current engine and take this game where it needs to go...I swear I saw GLIMPSES of Madden ps2 in that video...I'm not impressed at all with the media...The sad part is when we get new media its supposed to be wowing us...The last time Madden wowed me was when I saw the next gen graphics in 2005...Since then nothing this game has done has wowed me...

In fact...they went so far backwards that reinstituting the old features is about the closest they've come to a wow factor...I take that back...When I was finally able to play online w/o ridiculous lag was a next gen wow moment...Everything else has been underwhelming.

I too respect Ian and really believe the team is doing the best they can with what they got but its not really all their fault..Its this damn engine...Its gotta go

Its because things like this have happened before i.e a coach being upset at a penalty thats in his teams favor and other stuff. I think once we get some in game video from E3 we will really be able to see all the elements come together

I was noticing the same thing. This game does not appear much different in those areas except for more cutscenes and the fight for every yard concept with the fumble meter. Animations are still problematic (glitchy) even with this so called pro tak technology added.

you are correct. the engine is not working, the animation engine is not working,the locomotion is not working,the graphics engine is not working, the player model/field height weight ratio is not working. the player models are not working.

the only thing that could save madden is to start from scratch ea needs to get this through there head. there going to have to skip a year or even two years to develope a new football game.
as far as i am concerned the developers fan interaction has done nothing but add accesories and fluff to the game when the mechanics are still broken

Interesting. That is a new sharp angle we haven't heard at OS before.

end/sarcasm

People have been complaining for 4 or 5 yrs that presentation was needed big time for Madden. Now, Ian and company have heard the complaints, and now all they here was , this was in 2k5 before.

Madden can't win.

Just be happy it's in now, nobody can change history.
