That's an opinion. But I must say that after M10 dropped and it came time to market NCAA11, the NCAA staff touted themselves as getting back to the fundamentals as M10 was much more well-received.

Looks ok to me......in little 1 sec intervals of course. Presentation looks decent. Hope they do something better with the superbowl though.

Positive thought for the day: It looks like it won't be any worse than Madden 11 !!!!!! Maybe it'll be better!!

I don't understand why they releases this video when the embargo is up Thursday. I was hyped before but now my hype meter went down somewhat since they spoiled some of the actual video we will see Thursday.

Hey I like seeing game previews, reading about new modes, features, upgrades etc etc.

But seriously I don't and never will understand how anyone can come to any conclusion about a new game until you actually play the retail release. Even demos can really short change you and steer you of course.

A perfect example is the NBA 2K11 demo. Bare bones. If I had based my decision on that I would have been "I don't know seems stale" It was so stripped. Of course it is one of the GOAT sports titles ever. Then I played The Show 2011 demo and was blown away. It can be hit or miss with demo's.

Point is I think it is nonsense and borderline trolling forming strong opinions on a BS 30 second teaser clip of the game. Trying to analyze this game is just ridiculous at this point IMO.

I can't repect any posts bashing or even complimenting a game that is over 4 months from retail release. Until you play the official release how do you really know how it feels? How do you know how immersive it really is?

We can talk and speculate about what will be improved, not touched, etc etc. But saying the game is going to be crap or great at this point?

No one knows anything right now. All we know is what we want, hope and pray for.

Ok off my soapbox.

I hope EA just makes such a great improvement this year, that I will feel compelled to purchase Madden 12!!!

If it's better I will be buying. I thought Madden 2011 was the best since 2007.

God please let EA finally give us a true haltime show with better highlights and play by play commentary during the highlights and a end of game show. From the teaser the presentation looks interesting though.

They create this video for a number of reasons:

-public awareness for their upcoming announcements (both to drive traffic to their website and also as a heads-up to fans)
-because they want to show the fans who already know about the pending announcement something to get their brain working on what could be in store

That's why EA creates these teasers.

See, if this is the type of reaction we're going to give EA for releasing media, they might as well not release anything at all. They're by no means obligated to do so.
