Your right, I didn't notice it at first when I watched the NCAA trailer...why does it look so much better in ncaa though? It appears that uninterruptable animations are still there also.

This just let's me know some people are looking for something to complain about. Now I know people want to get there moneys worth when purchasing something but a playable demo comes out before the game is released! Play it then Decide if its worth purchasing! Does that not make sense? Now I haven't bought madden in 3 years cause I didn't like what I saw but I like what I see and can't wait for the demo to give it a try and make a decision on whether I'll be purchasing this game or not

Doesn't matter if it's a highlight reel of big hits or if it won't happen all game. If there is even one hit that looks physically impossible, than that is one physically impossible hit too many.

This is supposed to be a sim football game. Not Infamous 25.

The funny thing is, the "new" trucking animation that they keep showing off, where the defender flies off his feet and lands backwards, was an animation from the PS2 days of Madden. The exact same animation..

It was unrealistic and silly back then, and it's unrealistic and silly now.

All this talk about running and blocking still doesn't work. *sigh*

They use the term "funability". Every time I hear that a little piece of me dies inside. I'll just keep praying for realism.

So far this looks LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

From what I've read outside of these forums, the consensus is pretty good regarding the Run Free trailer, this video I posted here will probably be seen by 1-200 people tops so I don't think it will matter. I think the news they release on Connected Franchise next Monday will either kill or stir a ton of hype for Madden 25. Most people that complained about Madden 13 mainly mentioned something about CCM. I think next Monday, May 20th, and the E3 press conferences and videos will impact people's level of excitement/apathy towards M25 more than any other media they release will.

I'm on the fence with this gameplay stuff I'm seeing, it's definitely been disappointing so far but hoping E3 hands on gameplay vids will show us some encouraging signs.

I dont know folks, weren't these same big hit animations in Madden/NCAA 13? Did those hits happen often?

I would like them to discuss whether player morphing and predetermined animations will override the physics and what is humanly possible. I know they won't, but maybe they have tuned it better.
