Good catch, Ian has said that momentum was not really implemented into Pro Tak correctly yet when these videos were taken. Meaning the momentum and "umph" that should be taken into account when a defender is running full speed into a ball carrier is not present yet, and vice versa. Apparently that should be fixed.

Yes the graphics where highly detailed and had millions of polygons, but they still had a last-gen feel and I thought the lighting was inferior to that seen in NFL2k5. NOW, This years madden has much more realistic and earthy looking graphics. Ian, Can you comment on why the graphics looks so much different aka realistic.

I'd love a lighting/graphics blog. I completely agree, I've absolutely hated the lighting and colors used in past Madden's but this year they look so much better. I'd like to see behind the scenes what got changed. Something similar to the MLB The Show graphics blog.

Looks really good....not sure if anybody posted this yet, and Im not trying to be Debbie downer but the video was constantly cutting from one angle to the next on most of these gang tackles. This could mean two things

1. Whoever cut the video was trying to give the presentation some flair and variety
2. the editor wanted to hide some mechanical issues and cut angles where they occured to confuse the eye

I sure hope it is # 1, or at least if its 2 it can be fixed before they press these.
Overall it looks pretty awesome though. The Brandon Jacobs run was eye popping

I thought that was a real game photo too when I first saw it. This game keeps getting better and better. The graphics are spectacular and a huge leap from last year and I can't wait for what is going to be revealed at E3. I hope the nba live team takes advice from the madden team.

AMAZING VIDEO!!!... I see they fixed my Bills away jerseys, and put in colored cleats. Looks like I'm going to have to preorder this tomorrow instead of renting, can't wait to hear some franchise news.
