Madden NFL 11 Screenshots and First Details (IGN)

[SteelerSpartan]

Well I fall into the

"Prove It"........crowd

Im not getting all worked up over this stuff like I did last year.

They'll have to show me with game footage that all the AI advancements are working.......and that still won't mean much to me if they don't fix.........

The Physics/Locomotion

^^^Thats about the only thing that would change my attitude, is if they show some serious, and I mean serious improvements in those areas

if you wouldve told me in 2005, when the 360 launched, that we wouldnt have decent sidleline catches til M'11... i wouldve called you crazy, laughed in your face and told you how great Madden '05 on the PS2 was....my, how times have changed

and i still have to see these sideline catches, first hand, to believe it...we've heard it every year!

so much for innovation

First I saw this pic:



And I was giddy. Then I saw this screenshot:



And I threw up. Same awful animation of the safety levitating, making out with the receiver's helmet. Horrendous.

so does this mean receivers will jump in "goal line jump ball" situations because last year they kept doing that stupid over the shoulder/no look catch animation

[nyj721]

does that 2nd picture look like pass intrference to any one else and what is number 33s vertical because he got up high as hell

[jclentzthadon]

1. Melvin Bullet's neck is all jacked up and that picture with he and Boldin I pray was a mistake

2. I'm a wait and see physics/animation/gameplay dude

3. Screw the damn graphics. Fix the game.

Much like NCAA, Madden needs more, more, more and more gameplay enhancements. No more cosmetics, wind socks, handwarmers, long sleeves and anything else. Fix the game. I think the graphics are well above average. It's the gameplay and animations, AI and such that need to be improved.

Sure they said this before about the sideline catches but you know what? I'm banking they get it in AND I'm banking they leave the graphics alone because they know they are fine and want to really spend time and effort on gameplay.

We'll see...

For me the problem isn't the static image itself. I'm sure if you pause any great play, things will look silly and unrealistic. But it's the way Madden TRANSITIONS to these animations that makes it look so ugly.
