Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay Sizzle

[BezO]

I'm not as happy with this vid as I am with the info released today. The animations are still quite stiff. They need more transitional animations to smooth things out. The sprinting, plants & changes of direction need work. Some of those sideline catches looked quite akward.

I hate to bring up 2K but, in 2K they have a animation to prevent you from getting stuck on a lineman and doing the running man dance. They will stick their arm out and push off depending on what side they're on and it looks seamless and fluid.

They have this in M11. They don't collide as hard, but you do interact with your blockers.

Hopefully, they can polish them up before release.

Good looking video.

I liked the Ball physics, but the Belt animation wasn't the great but at least they have it in there.

Does it work consistently? Do you think they improved upon it?

I've only played a total of 10 games maybe with friends on madden 11.

One thing I really hate is the QB throwing animations, as you know Drew Bress threw the ball, kicked his leg way out, then went into a defenders stance instead of looking the pass through... That annoys the crap out of me, and just looks horrible. Same with Vick (who has the best throwing motion in the NFL). That said, this game just plain looks SICK right now.. Im actually excited for Madden for the first time in YEARS... They've done a really good job from what I can tell in that vid, with WR cuts and ACTUAL tackling!!! HOPE and PRAY those horrid QB animations or tuned... But hey, its not a game breaker...

On what planet does Vick have the best throwing motion lol?

I am hoping that WR's still come down sometimes out of bounds or with one foot out for a no catch call. I also, hope we dont oversee the dive catch animation in the middle of the field (Ala over the should catch). Especially for catched that you dont need to dive for.

Overall it looked good, I still cant wait to see real game footage with the new presentation included

I like the sound of the catches, and it does look better with the correct ball size
