Madden NFL 12 Video - Dynamic Player Performance Sizzle Trailer

[Armor and Sword]

Sounds like they really revamped Gus's play by play.

Getting more and more excited by the week.

[InTheGame]

I have to give the Madden team credit for trying to make so many radical changes to the game in a one year cycle. When you read the blogs on Dynamic Player Performance. Even the developers of the game are trying to let the community know that the new features are not just recycled Madden features.(Madden 08 weapons comparison)..... I do think that the implementation of DPP is a great idea. How it works remains to be seen. In theory, It is a radical and refreshing approach to the game.

This video does more harm than good. I am going to buy Madden 12 for sure. So it won't affect a die hard football gamer like me but this "sizzler" is not an authentic representation of Madden 12's DPP feature and the superstar like feel to the audio work done by Gus Johnson. One can only dream that the game has this type of immersive audio feel to it. For a game that professes to be "True". This video is not "true to the actual video game".

This is going to feel like a brand new game for sure because of the new franchise and dpp features but the gameplay looks just slightly different so far. The animations are still very wooden looking. I am going to give the visuals a pass because this isn't the final build but the gameplay looks untouched. Which is not a good thing. The ice skating and the unrealistic looking football animations appear to be the same as years past.

In the future, What I'd really like to see is the madden team showing videos on how they mo-capped player motion and moves for the game. It's nice having Reggie Bush in cool sneakers at Tiburon but while he is there, Can he motion cap his running and playing style?.... The game needs new motion captures and an upgraded animation system. You wanna be true to the game, Be true to NFL players movement and motion.

They already said that Gus is just a voice over. They added new dialogue to go with the DPP, but my guess commentary will be similar to last year. This video reminds me of the IGN video last year when they had Gus and that other guy doing play-by play and it sounded great, then EA had to come on and say it was only for that video...

Damn you EA! You had to use my team and lay the smack down on the egirls and get me all pumped for football!!!!

I am going to need some will power to not buy on day one.

Nice video.

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:

And I hate to be that guy again, (post above yours) but a lot of people are saying this thread the animations are better, even the person you just quoted.

Yea I agree. I wasn't too impressed. Animations or movements of players look eh.
