If it's the same issue as before, it's either have the ball too big or have very noticeable clipping.

I'll take the former.

I know that...it still would be nice if they looked into alleviating the issue however.

Yeah it would be though I personally don't really notice it when playing.

It would make for better pics.

Pretty much looks like Madden NFL 10 to me. I don't like the way the players seem to be moving in the second picture or Austin's glee-stricken face in the first.

IGN's way of describing "The Catch Debugging Tool" sounds awfully like how they talked about Madden NFL 10's gimmick, "Pro-Tak".

Also - what the hell is up with the ball, guys? Seriously? I mean, I don't like to look like a negative Nancy, but these dev guys told us that they would definitely tweak the ball for Madden NFL 11 and that they couldn't with Madden NFL 10 because they'd have to re-do a lot of animations.

Well, at this point in time it seems that they may have gotten lazy, kept the ball the same, and then piled on new animations on top of a fat, fuzzy, bland looking ball. There should be no excuses as to why the ball is too big this time, because it has been a known issue since the first screens of Madden NFL 10 (more than a year ago) were given to us.

But, I pretty much agree with everything that has been said. Yes, it is early, however it's never too early to be worried - ESPECIALLY about a game with Madden's track record.

If the animations look the same or even only fractionally improved over last year's game, as well as presentation and graphics, then this will be the most disappointing Madden since Madden NFL 06 for the 360. And damn, that was disappointing.

Only thing i see bad in the pics and they could fix this way b4 launch. Is no1 is looking at the ball looking at the ball. If they are supposed to have awareness. in real life u keep eyes on ball. Also that piggy back animation is in the game agn. Its kinda pointless snd they should take that out. In real life if the DB jumped on a recievers back, and deflected the ball. He would still try to reach out atleast to snag the ball. Also the majority of the time it would happen right after a swat miss and guy would turn in mid air and that animation would occur. Cant cry much tho cuz its too early, but I'm worried.

I was thinking the samething when I seen that screenshot. Honestly I feel this is the same promise year after year after year after year. It gets redundant seriously. I think some heavy game testing needs to be done on Madden by all types of gamers. Hardcore, casual players, die heart nfl fans, kids, newbies, and etc. To see if this game is honestly is playing the way it was intended to be played out of the box. Patches/Upddates should be for minor cosmetic issues and roster changes not essential core gameplay function/issues. Gameplay should be PRIORITY #1!

Am I the only one that felt that pro-tak wasn't a gimmick?

Tackles felt much different compared to how they did previously in Madden games to me.

Am I just different lol?

110% agreed, Hopefully Ian can go in depth about this horrible animation because everyone is tires of seeing it. Loose the "faith catch" and the "piggy back swat and tackle" animations please.
