Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay Sizzle

[SouthernBrick]

I really hope stiff arms are more effective and consistent. I don't even bother sometimes because, you have a better chance at hurdling someone 3 times in a game than getting those "get off me" stiff arms.

Another one of my pet peeves.

Agreed.
Hopefully there is more "move *****" stiff arms and more power rb animations. I like the ones in the peyton hillis vid. I want to see a shoulder to chest truck animation like a brandon jacobs runover
I am glad protak is out, made power break tackles look unrealistic. I just hope the power run game and oline/dline interaction is more violent and fun

I just watched a video breakdown of the sizzle trailer(haven't watched one of those in over a year) of this video and it was slowed down and it was pretty accurate. Some stuff looked good but, other stuff got exposed like some core stuff.

1) Vick, Marice Jones Drew, and Troy P all spinning the exact same way and a DT and LB or CB falling down the exact same was as well. They really need specific running animations to at least differentiate the way players move. Its just more authentic and would be less repetitive.

2) Lineman just standing around when they could and probably should be double teaming instead of standing around or mirroring each other.

Only a trailer but, I'll wait for the actual gameplay videos to say anything about the line play but, I thought the vid was spot on about animations and players running the same. It's not authentic.

The game looks ok however it is way too early to make any educated evaluations and I'm just not ready to hand ea the game of the year trophy like some folks. Guys don't let the marketing team fool you once again.....let's just wait and see.

I actually also think NCAA looks better. I know it's an opinion but madden feels less fluid that's all I'm saying.

I don't see anyone rushing out to preorder in early May. If I do, it isn't until at least July and now maybe early August.

I'm really in hopes that this is the year everything comes together as far as gameplay is concerned. I kinda get the feeling that somehow it will. I don't think it will be perfect, I just hope its playable..
