Yes!!! lol 2 people are reading my mind....
People were expecting the best Madden ever or the best football game ever...and that is just not realistic...like I said in a previous post I will be happy if it is the best in recent years....

i would say it was definitely before, because the first few steelers/cardinals screenshots appear to be from the game they showcased in the trailer.

all in all, i'd say the trailer was pretty underwhelming, but i'm glad because it will make the announcements further down the road that much better and it helps make the wait until august that much more bearable.

Not that off-topic, actually. I think that a lot of the good stuff from the NCAA trailer will be in Madden (new animations, etc). Going by what's been said here, I think that there's some consensus that this trailer wasn't really made with us in mind, the termites who'll tear it apart.

My favorite parts of that trailer:
1) 0:28 - Texas #12 QB's throw animation (but I'm pretty sure that's because you can only see his upper body lol).

2) 0:22 - The jostling with Florida's #16 and his subsequent desperate reach animation where he can't reach the ball. One of my favorite anim's in APF2k8 was when a ball was too far out in front of a receiver and they just stuck out a futile arm in the ball's direction.

3) 0:34 - The #6 receiver from Wisconsin (?) catching that ball, then getting tackled by a clear facemask animation, and asking for a facemask flag when he gets up.

4) 0:53 - Penn State #82 making an impressive catch with his arms over a LB. It seems like it'd be a great "WOW" moment during a game and the LB seems to have been in poor position and made a poor play on the ball (not to mention didn't magically go from deflection attempt animation to tackle animation once the ball was caught).

FUGLY MOMENT:
1:09 - The animation by which USC #8 is tackled after he catches the ball. God I hated all that crap that year that they added the mid-air collision animations. They look awful.

Looks fantastic, if i saw that with Madden i would have went out and pre ordered tomorrow. Theres still some tiny things that stuck out but it looks fantastic. I think alot of what hurt the debut tonight was the way it was presented, the music and such didnt give off a vibe that it was a NFL game, But NCAA music was perfect, the shots of cheerleaders really gave off that college football vibe and some animations were just WOW. Loved it.

I couldn't agree more. I'm actually going to pre-order my NCAA copy over the weekend. The trailer was very impressive as far as showcasing the different animations, fluidity and procedural awareness.

I sure hope the Madden guys go back to the "lab" and try to 1 up the NCAA guys with a far more impressive trailer. So far I have the score as 1-0, in favor of NCAA 10. Just sayin'.

I would say its pretty even now...the madden guys were killin it with all the info, but the NCAA trailer was the equalizer.

Nice breakdown....I agree with everything you commented on. I've watched the trailer a couple of times, and the more I watch the more I'm impressed. I wish I could say the same about the Madden display tonight.

Agreed....But I meant more like a battle of the trailers....If we're going trailer for trailer......I like my score better...

Unfortunately player movement looked just like last year's plus I didn't really see a pocket forming at least not the way I was expecting. Did you notice the center was always just standing there by himself looking like he had to take a dump?

And what's up with Parker breaking out of a 2 man tackle like that?
