Madden NFL 11 Video Preview (Xbox Live)

Will players still run through walls on endzone celebrations? It looked like when the Packers receiver caught that tip toe endzone catch that his momentum was going to carry him through the wall but they skipped past it. I hope they fixed that along with all the other excessive morphing in the game.

Game is pretty though.

Agree.. The whole animation did look sloppy, and if they are going with it that better be a rare random animation as WR should only take 1 to 2 moves to seperate from CB..

Yup. I always thought she was pretty fine.

Agree with this as well.. "Locomotion" is suppose to fix these running animations right? So why does running continue to loop and animations look stiff?? Don't get me wrong it does much better then madden 10, but if they dont iron out the lingering issues it will continue to look unrealistic and arkward..

Looks smoother, Chad Henne looks really fast, still no push by DE's up the field to form a pocket, b/c of this looks like QB's will be able to roll out all the way to the sideline and throw downfield. I have come to accept that this will NEVER be fixed/implemented by EA, but other than that looks good.

Nice find LBz.

1. Loved that two feet in catch. Hopefully It's consistent and when the receiver doesn't get 2 feet in HOPEFULLY It looks natural.

2. Get that damn defender falls down every time I juke you animation out of there! While it does happen, it happens to often in this game. I mean really when you see a ball carrier juke on someone on sundays how many times are do you see a defender juked that bad?

I wonder when this video was shot ?

Please scrap the animation when JerMicahael Finley gets jammed no way does a CB have the physical ability to jam him
