I hope it is...but I doubt it. First person football would be cool. However, I think it's just a hype ad. "It's in the game." becomes "It puts you in the game"..

Is this CGI though?

Because I don't think it is.

Meh...no hype train ticket here. Nor on NCAA...wait until the 30 pages of Bugs 3 weeks after the game is out.

IMO this was worthless. No gameplay footage. A lot of people are addicted to half time shows and post game shows but theyre the real reason Madden has been failing recently. Madden should really just work on their gameplay issues and spend more money fixing those crucial issues rather than the extras as of right now. Its like a present. The only thing that matters is whats inside like the gameplay and the less important things are like the wrappings.

Madden has yet to fix their run blocking. Sure they hit us with a few videos but they were clearly on the rookie ratings. No one could tackle or pursue the ball carrier. The pass blocking is just terrible. They got ahead of them trying to make a pocket and then left the game wide open for nano blitzing. Even the CPU is able to do it because some of the blitz packages are already nano plays. The game is still running on fake animations. Theres no possible way a player can swat the ball and in mid air turn and tackle the receiver. Theres no possible way a player can be running horizontally across the field and then hitstick on a dime to a player running vertically. Not only are the animations fake but sometimes theyre just dumb. What happens when the two players engage in an animation and a third player or fourth player comes in. Sorry the animation is already wrote and the players are out of the loop.

Then they add OTP which IMO is going to be a terrible game mode. It sounds like a great idea but no team play is going to be fun outside of basketball. You can tell me I'm right after you try it but its a bad idea.

Honestly EA should buy out Backbreakers dev team and combine staffs. If Backbreakers had the controls, camera angles, money that EA has they easily made the greatest football game ever. Now that they created great gameplay they can spend time fixing up the game modes and spending almost an entire year developing the game modes like franchise and superstar because the gameplay is all there. Now they can add the presentation like half time shows and post game shows.

My question is if they didnt improve the game modes this year and it appears gameplay isnt any better from the videos and pictures I've seen what exactly did they work on?

Exactly. Your opinion. I believe presentation is huge, and Franchise is the reason I buy Madden. I'm pretty steamed I don't get to enjoy Madden 11.

Well this entire year was spent on gameplay; thus no franchise/superstart changes.

GAMEPLAY GAMEPLAY GAMEPLAY is what this year is all about. Apparently.
