after seeing the first ncaa screenshot, i'd say it was to show the 3d grass. although, i couldn't tell if it was actually 3d. but from that 4 mm by 7 mm box of the vid, it appears to be 3d. maybe.

My last statement for those jumping to conclusions in this thread:

If you don't think the game is up to your standards, don't buy it. It's a trite turn of phrase, but it is true. Video games live in a free market society. You get a choice on what to put your money on. If a game isn't going to be fun for you, don't buy it.

I'm not defending Madden. I did not buy Madden last year. Jumping to conclusions based on a 24 second video is foolish. At the very least, I would wait for some gameplay footage before I made any kind of decision on whether I think that Madden is a decent game or not.

they still have a few months of dev time. and i'd say something like that would still be in the tuning phase.

i just hope it isn't overpowered. the debut of the spectacular catch rating comes to mind.

Hahahaha All I can do is laugh after watching that teaser vid! Great Job EA! Get that money!! You have basically 8 pages of consumers already (including me). It is the only game in town and if you love football gaming it is a rap. So just produce the same game (again) and slap a 12 on it and we buying it!!

What a damn shame!! hahahha

Your choice is between buying a video game that you feel is worth your money or not buying a game that you don't feel is worth your money. If you don't like the game, buy one you enjoy instead.

Seriously, there are a ton of good video games out there. Don't pigeonhole yourself to professional football games if you aren't satisfied with them.

Guys the field goal videos just mean new camera angle for field goals.. has nothing to do with blocking them. Why would they make them easier to block? Stupidest idea ever.

Crowds looked terrible, players loOked the same, animations looked the same. But we have symbols!

Seeing Walter Payton cannot be good, they are going to go the NBA 2k12 route, but instead of adding alot of substance to gameplay/franchise, they will just pump out mass marketing about being able to play as Old time greats.

Looks like another gimmick year to me.

The only mode I played last year was 3 vs 3 online, which was brutally designed, but was fun when you actually got into a good game. The only way I buy this is if that mode is improved.
