I cant wait for Madden. Im not even a franchise guy, but I just like what I saw with the foot planting and supposed 3d grass.

Well I guess no matter who you are. No one is going to be ever happy with madden totally. No matter what they do to the game. People want them to focus on different things every year. But for me if the gameplay is solid this year and franchise mode is improved alot more then it has in past years and presentation is much better this year. Then I'm going to be happy. Everyone has their opinion on what they want year after year and everyone changes their mind year in and year out. That's just human nature I guess. Overall like Ian Cummings has said in the past. They can't make everyone happy and that is totally true. I guess you take what info they give us and go with it and buy the game if you feel it is worth buying or don't buy it at all. I feel this going to be a real good year for madden. Franchise mode will be much better and presentation will be much improved from last year. Overall I'm looking forward to the info coming up in the next few months.

You can say that about the previous yrs, but you can't guarantee 12 will be the same.

None of us can guarantee what 12 has in store for us, we can speculate all we want to.

As Adembroski said, they can't show game play now in it's current state or they would have nothing to show.

By the way, to answer your question about game play, I didn't see game play in a 35 second teaser video and wasn't expecting any.

No, that's not what I meant.

On all but two of them, an appreciable number of people have been right in their guesses. Among the remaining two, I haven't seen the correct answer at all on one of them, and only one person has gotten the other right, though that's two now. For the record, neither are in this thread.

in the Ray Rice picture, if you click it and enlarge it, way over to the right you see what looks like 4 icons maybe?

Hard to tell what they are.

If they are player roles. Hip hop hooray!
If they are weapons BOOOOOOOOO!


there was a thread on here recently called Bring Back Player Roles, it got tons of responses, so I think Ea put it back in, they;d be crazy if they didn't as everybody to a man wants them back in.

Motion shifting all over the place on the field goal screens at the top middle.

I think it says NFL players! If Dynmic player performance is basically form its the most over fluffed feature in history.

I hope player tendancies, mean that suh cant get pancaked by a punter and the computer decides it going to have an amazing comeback!

i don't know.
I think the icon on the left is the NFL logo, but why would they put 'NFL player' there? we know he's an NFL player, unless they plan on having scabs in there this year. in that case you could be right. lol

come on devs, throw us a bone, at least tell us if the stuff on the right is something worth speculating on!

i would like to see those post-play cut scenes drastically improved to mimic a real broadcast camera angle. i also don't understand the obsession with extreme facial close ups of players chewing air or twitching around. it takes a lot of realism away when you see that stuff.

with that in mind, perhaps the trailer suggests EA is working on making those cut scenes and spectator (OF mode??) camera angles as close as possible to an NFL broadcast.

i'm assuming since NCAA did new grass, madden will follow suit. can't make a fair judgment on gameplay yet, but would have liked to see a hint that collision detection, tackling, momentum, etc. are being taken into consideration. the foot plant may suggest a taste of things to come, but again...it's all about quality implementation.
