I belive there are less frames, but it still happened. Maybe it just didn't look as ugly, but it was still ugly. Gameplay videos Ian posted look nice, the trailers look horrid. They look like the old madden team is behind them. Maybe we have the same marketing guys. Phil or Peter or whomever should have told the marketing team to make a new style of Promo videos as well as the new direction of the game. M10 Video < direction for M10

Well I was just referring to how the animations look better in gameplay than in the trailers. The animations are missing frames. Clipping happens in every sports game though. The only 1 I've seen remedy it so far is fight night.

I would add UFC as well. That game does a good job in not having the fighters "clip" in my experience.

Personally I don't care much about the clipping; my problem is Tiburon's approach to animations themselves. That's what looks unnatural. The lumbering half jog/half run that all players seem doomed to have to live with. There's one point where a TB receiver makes a one-handed catch - which looks weird because of the movement - then doesn't bother to secure the ball, which looks more weird. Then he sort of frump a dump runs with that half jog/half run anim that already looks weird. Reggie Bush breaks a tackle where two defenders seemingly try to hug him while standing straight up. Drew Brees runs through a LB tackle attempt then does a qb slide immediately after lol. The lack of physics all over the place; especially on the Bush dive into the end zone. Just a lot of awkward movement to occur in so short a period of time, that someone obviously thought looked cool. It doesn't.

ugh, why do the marketing videos have the opposite effect on me than was intended

Yea I only played the demo but that game did do a very good job as well.

I haven't read any of the posts, but one thing that has been sticking out that I do not like is the new over the shoulder catch they added this year. The problem is that this animation seems to play out in places it shouldn't. The ball will be thrown over the left shoulder and the receiver will trigger this animation and seemingly float over so that the ball goes over his right shoulder.

Overall this animation just looks rather ugly to me. Maybe when I play the game though and see it from a regular gameplay angle it will be less pronounced than the zoomed in angle.
