I just dont get it

I'm worried that'll be the case for damn near every sports game coming out during the launch window, since it would take a ridiculous amount of man power in order to build two games at once.

So in other words, this might be 2006 all over again. THAT trailer was what got me pumped as well, and EVERY video after that has set the bar lower and lower and lower....now the bar is on the ground.

I have been apart of this community for 10 years and I don't appreciate your comment about me defending mistakes. I have an optimistic attitude about everything in life. That is just who I am. Personally, I will not judge the ESPN video. Why? Because it was encoded incorrectly and does not represent how the game actually looks. Lastly, look into how big organizations run social media. ESPN will not delete this video and upload a new one. EA SPORTS will not upload the same video on their channel with the correct encoding.

I meant no offense, I get nothing out of trying to insult random people on the internet and believe it or not, I'm rather optimistic by nature too. However, seeing as not even you are disputing that the incorrect coding of the MNF video was in fact a mistake and it is actual next gen M25 footage yet are citing reasons for why you choose to ignore it, along with reasons why neither EA nor ESPN will fix it, that seems like defending their mistake, imo.

Also imo, I think if that same incorrectly encoded video had been well received by the masses, the EA marketing machine would be in full force endorsing it and you wouldn't be choosing to ignore it. If I'm wrong I apologize but how incorrect encoding of a video justifies completely ignoring it and not expecting to see a correctly encoded version at some point, I don't understand.

I am not trying to make this personal towards anyone and the only reason I even mentioned that other video ITT is because, again, there seems to be some confusion that the game play trailer ITT is the only Next gen M25 footage released on Monday, when that is simply not the case.

No offense to Tiburon Big, but if they don't care enough to fix simple mistakes like players celebrating in the wrong endzone, and coaches mumbling into playcall sheets without headsets in their own game, I doubt they care about correcting a video that was encoded wrong

to be honest... i know a good amount about codec's and encoding... I don't think a bad encode would make the game look so terrible...even if it is... how is there not any evidence that it was significantly better version of the game? If you encode an HD version of nba 2k14's game trailer to a highly compressed mpeg4... it's still gonna look impressive. you'll still see james harden's face look incredibly life life. To me... it's just excuses after excuses from ea, And it's getting to be pathetic.

lol, it's all good man, at this point I'm the stereotypical person at a horror movie yelling at the actors on screen "don't go there" because I think I see what's about to happen.

"...wait til madden 15!... that will blow your minds!"

... and the cycle continues

didn't this next gen team work on this game for 2 years?

If this is indeed next-gen, it's 2006 all over again. Seems like we have duped again by another "target render" trailer from E3, even though EA stated that it was "in-game" footage.

Also, I can't believe that they didn't correct the Dolphins' socks. WTF? Where did EA come up with that those color socks??? One look at those socks, made me want to vomit!
