The bottom picture was with the rib protector though (Week 13 vs Houston). He still looks eerily like Donovan McNabb, who was coincidentally once an eagle. The posture is also overly stiff (like McNabb). Michael Vick ran briskly with his shoulders forward even with the rib protector.

Plenty of time to fix it in time for August though.

I would venture to say that most of us guys on this site don't give 2 shyts about the intros that they show us every year. These look just as good as they always do. SO WHAT!!!!! Are we gonna get more than the stuff that we always skip over after we've seen it twice? I love Madden, probably NCAA more but this doesn't do anything for me just yet.

I have to say this years videos are looking good. So far my only complaint is the horrible soundtrack playing with them.

I don't know why everybody is getting so excited over this video. Shouldn't we be immune to the marketing hype that comes out pretty much every year for this game?

Ya, it does look great and news about EA working with CBS broadcast teams to design the broadcast angles and stat overlays sounds promising but its just the intro screen. It'll be fun to look at the first 5 or 10 or 20 games you play but pretty soon we'll all just be skipping it to get to the actual game play.

Personally, I'm waiting to hear what EA did with franchise mode before I get too excited.

The video was pretty sweet, it adds alot to the experience. Right now I want the game and right now I want to buy it. But since I have 4 months to watch more gameplay videos and play the demo in August, there is no need to run out to gamestop to preorder the game today. But I like where this game is going!!

wow, even the shoes get dirty. this game looks amazing. i must emphasize looks, as i refuse to let graphics sway me into believing that the game will play as it should. but all of the little details they're adding sound a lot like the stuff an nba 2k11 or mlb the show would be adding. so it does appear that tiburon has been paying attention to what the heavy hitters have been up to and are reacting accordingly. i look forward to seeing some unedited game play and finding out how well all of these new assets work together.

the hype train leaves the station every year. and yes, i too am jaded to its intended effect. but i'm not cynical to the point that i can't appreciate the improvements that they have made.
