It's seems like that's all you do with your time. We are supposed to be helping the Madden team improve, but instead you decide to bash them. There is no more ESPN NFL 2k5! Move on! EA Sports will have the NFL license for a while and there's nothing you can do to change that. If you continue to bash the Madden team, it won't do anything. If you try to help them, it will improve their products.

You've already made up your mind on the game from a 2 minute video of an Alpha build, so there's obviously nothing that I can tell you to make you feel differently. I hate to sound like a dick, but you come off as a typical EA basher. Good day sir.

A next gen football EA basher that is. What is wrong with that? Why can they make a great soccer, hockey, and boxing game, but they cant make there biggest franchise with exclusive rights play anything close to the real thing?

This is a legitimate question, that should have been addressed years ago.

I haven't played a Madden more than 2 weeks since last-gen so I'm on the same boat as you man but I'm still willing to wait until at LEAST E3 and a demo before I start "bashing" anything. Wait till you get it in your hands to feel it out man..just a little more time..you've already waited a year

I don't see why everyones bashing the vid... I think it shows serious improvement from last year and alot of stuff is being left out, and on a lower difficulty level. I wish I could just get two 8 min quarters of gameplay on All Madden.

Just expressing my opinions and observations that will hopefully help the gameplay tweaking that is still going on


1) The presentation looked really outstanding. From the coin toss to Romo using the phone. It truly looked like a TV broadcast. The attention to detail on the players is looking good so far. It is going to be impossible to please everybody but they are doing a good job so far

2) I thought that the pile-up for the fumble looked outstanding as well although I will be one of those people that turns the mini-game off.

Can someone of that weight and size jump that high?!?! I also feel sorry for the people in the pile.

3) Players move without much weight and momentum. When Hamlin tackled Macklin, all of Macklin’s momentum seemed to have ended at the moment Hamlin joined in. I am pretty sure Ian state that he is working on this. Also, defenders are still able to insta-turn and change directions on a dime. I am not really seeing the improvements mentioned in the player momentum blog. This is probably a major disappointment for me I think we will have to wait until M11 for any hope of this.


4) I am not sure if the o-line should be as spread out as it is. The running lanes are MASSIVE and pocket is quite large. From seeing actual gameplay footage I can see were LBzrule is coming from when he says that DEs and OLBs should be getting upfield faster. Also the play of free blockers needs some fixing.





5) Tackle animations looked decent. They were not amazing but they were not that bad either. I thought the last one were the CB tackled the WR after the TD looked particularly nice.

6) Personally, I still don’t dig the running animations. Tweaking them might have IMPROVED them but I want them to be FIXED. It’s hard to specifically point out what I don’t like about them but they seem bobbing up and down too much. Also they are holding out the ball too far from his body. Lastly, it does not look like they are running very hard but rather leisurely jogging. A lot of people seem to be fine with the running, but I don’t know, I just don’t like it.


7) Graphics were okay. I wasn’t impressed with them like I was with the screens and the Pro-Tak documentary. I guess the game will look best in replay mode. I still think that the ankles look too thin although the colored gloves and cleats look nice.

Edit: 8) Forgot to add that I am kind of disappointed that it appears they are not using a new mechanism for kicking

It has nothing to do with 2k and you know it. All the other EA Franchises are flourishing and getting better over the years, but not Madden. They have a great Soccer, Hockey, Golf, experience, and the bball and boxing are only getting better and fast.

What is wrong with the football?

P.S. Im talking pure gameplay.

For everyone who disagrees, take a look at the ESPN 2k5 intro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HB2J...eature=related . **** gets you pumped up. You see the crowd, you see the players, the music is blaring, and the commentators seamlessly interweave into the action. The intro for M10 has fancy new lettering for the logos, but aside from that, it definitely didn't get me into the game. Damnit.

Dude... it's obvious they skipped through the pre-game stuff.

They only showed 2 players.

Also, it has been said in an article that they will show players going to their seats w/ their hot dogs and stuff before the game.
