Madden NFL 12 Videos - Virtual Playbook Gameplay and Presentation

Still desperately waiting for them to finally show us a clip of their broadcast presentation and commentary...

That will single-handedly make or break all this work with the cameras and entrances. Until then, this is all theoretical to me. But the potential is there.

The tackle at about the 3 minute mark of Pierre Thomas is really the only true "clean up" tackle that I have seen so far. All the other ones it looks like the 2nd defender just kinda grabs on and goes with whatever is already happening. You don't really see the 2nd defender ever really delivering a blow and altering the direction of what is happening.

I've seen other consecutive hit tackles in NCAA and Madden over the last week or two. Much better than the bowling pin or group hug tackles the past few years.

Overall, impressed with the videos. I did see that double team blocking in the presentation video and that was a nice rollout by Vick.

I saw no double team blocking.

one thing i hate seeing, and i know it's small but im sure you all noticed to. when they zoomed up on Vick and you see his facemask going through his shoulder pads. i just hate seeing that, it's the same thing with 2K when you see the ball go through the rim on a dunk or body parts morphing through others. good thing you dont see that nearly as much in football games.

That "other game" did a fantastic job in a lot of areas, and this is another one of them. To me, it isn't really fair when EA shows us some stuff. You see mistakes/problems in NCAA... well, they are college players just making college player mistakes. They show Revis in the Sizzle trailer jerk one way and then slide back and tip a pass... well that's Revis, so that's okay. We see Marshall Faulk, a mast of the spin move, juke some Seahawks player. Built in excuses for game play issues. Also, still LOTS of sliding in these videos. EDIT: In the second video, despite what they SAID about ball physics, when you watch @ the 8min mark, we still have the classic Madden ball physics as it is jarred lose with a big hit. :sigh: There are improvements, but it doesn't look earth shaking by any means.

There's more to not like, than to like in the gameplay video. I'm surprised more OS'ers aren't dissapointed in the lack of foot planting in Madden and NCAA. So much sliding.

EDIT: EA is able to get time with Superstar athletes, why aren't they having these guys Mo-Cap for the game?

You guys are right. I'm still looking forward to seeing more though.

Good stuff.
