Madden NFL 11 Video: Some Random Gameplay Footage (Ian Cummings)

[mm boost]

one major thing I took away from this video was the audio, the crowd sounded phenomenal. They got super loud on 3rd and short, and even more loud when the 3rd down wasn't converted. I liked how they went with the action on the field....I am so hyped to play this game!

They'll have to fix that one. All in all, glad to finally see some Panthers footage.

I was hoping to catch some Armanti footage as well.

Welcome To The Jungle! Sweet. Its sounds the like the music is being piped in through the staduim speakers. Excellent.

I really like what their doing with the QB Throwing Animations this year. I know they started it last year but, it's seems even better this year. For those of you who missed the video with the Viking's go back and watch Favre's throwing motion compared to Alex Smith and Matt Moore's. You should be able to tell a big difference and frankly, I'm impressed.

The pro-tak looked better, but I still see too many instances where it should be used and not.

I'm a HUGE presentation guy....the first thing I noticed was how well the timing of the crowd was. Nicely done!

When it happened to me in APF 2k8, it was actually the first time I had seen that particular one. What they need is for the ball to come out of the QB's hands differently depending on how he is hit and the point in his throwing motion he is at. APF nailed this and it is really a cool element. I think with some tweaking, Madden could get it right as well. Am I making sense? For some reason I am having a hard time articulating my thoughts lately

agreed about the lame duck. While it was nice that there was an actual lame duck throw when a QB was hit, the problem was that the animation resulted in too many attempts at INT's by the DL.

I am hoping what you are referring to from APF, is implemented into Madden this year, or at the very least, some adjustments have been made to the lame duck throw from where it was last year.
