Not really.

Mike Young, was quoted in this thread from Twitter, that there is commentary in the game from DPP.

If it's an old video, then we probably have to wait until e3 next week to assess gameplay in motion.

But it still begs the question why EA would put out old videos that make the game look wrong (see: Eli as a 'roid monster) to showcase their headline new game feature.

Im really liking this addition to madden. This is making it almost certain that i am buying the game.

What about the animations? Just curious to see if there is going to be a improvement in that area.

I will state this, if the animations on the video is what we will be viewing in the final product.

The engine is just not friendly with animations, and it is time to really consider something different.

People are saying there are better animations in this video.

I did not see it also. I saw a 1 on 1. A double team would have been nice to see.

Madden needs more little/transitional animations to make the game look more natural. Everything just sort of snaps into place, really takes you out of the immersion.

Well said Sega you nailed it. Like you I really study the animations of a game. Now if the game has ok animations I will live with it, as long the game plays good in other areas. I will get Madden 12.

I honestly couldn't get into what they were showing with dynamic performance because the game looks so ugly in motion. My optimism for Madden 12 actually dropped a bit after this vid.

I didn't want to be "that guy" again... but THIS! A thousand times THIS!

Thumbs up, thank you, +1, QFT, what ever.

Tired of the ice skating, the choppy movement, and how blatantly canned the animations look.

I am very excited about the off-the-field improvements. I really am. It's just... it's just like 5 years too late and the game play still looks poor. :Sigh:
