Not Impressed....animations are still SUPER STIFF....same old OL/DL interaction....and for those that said it is 2K like, it is FAR from it. There are some good things in this video, but it is very minimal so far...I'll wait for E3 videos...right now it is not really impressive.

Looks good. I really like the collisions. They "feel" real. I will admit I'm getting excited. I don't post often here but I read alot and I definitely realize this site is full of haters and whiners but I like how things seem to be shaping up. Oh and on a side note... Why have Columbo th RT for the Cowboys... he's done. That's why we drafted Tyron Smith tonnight... lol. Just thought it was wierd.

Because the video was made before the draft..

I don't know I'f it's just me but every player runs as if they had leg braces when they were a kid. Game looks improved however the stiff robotic feel is still in the game. Andre johnson catch was really nice. Also why are players running as if they are running against wind or in the pool of water. Just seems like it's taking them a lot of effort.

Not even edge rushing impresses, ya, huh? I thought of all things, that might, but different strokes for different folks.

Every year all the people on this board go nuts over these teasers. While the game will have some good improvements, it is far too early to decide in either direction. The vids always look good because they show the replays, which are bigger, more detailed and generally more aesthetically pleasing than the actual gameplay. The animations need to be fluid and not jerky like they are now. NCAA seems to have nailed this so hopefully it will follow into Madden. I still don't see the procedural awareness. The "eyes in the back of the head" over shoulder catch still looks bad and the DBs are not looking for the ball while maintaining proximity with the receiver. Still, it's hard to tell completely from the vids. Nothing I've seen is mind blowing at all. It looks... good to ok. I still didn't see as many consecutive hit tackles, but there were some, and they look MUCH better than the hot garbage that was pro-tak.

Edge rushing impresses the hell out of me. As well as WR shading.
