Some quick thoughts:

1) That intro video looks awesome!

2) The running animations (especially in the 1st vid) look shaky at best.

3) The play-action animations look smooth.

4) Somehow I feel like the field is looking at bit too much like a pool table.

5) The lighting when they show Lucas Oil is amazing!

Players look like pinballs out there. Unrealistic cuts and turning on a dime. Running animations look horrid.

I'm holding off reservation until June 4th on anything gameplay related like running animations. I saw a recent tweet from Shopmaster where he said the build he played didn't have the "monumental change to gameplay'' in it yet and there are like 15 builds or something out there, so I'm sure these videos don't either. It may not be the running animations, but something big is going down June 4th.

Here's the actual conversation, just so no one thinks I made this up.

@Shopmaster @rgiles36 Is the "monumental" change in this new build?

1 May Shopmaster ‏ @Shopmaster
@AzureEffect @rgiles36 I'm not sure, I'm pretty sure that's another build. There are like 15 builds out there .... lol. #saidtoomuchalready

Presentation looks great. Also liked the fact there were a lot of stealers colors in the bills shot good to see a mix of home and away fans. Can't wait until E3 to see this game in action.

**without having watched the videos**

I'm starting to think running animations are going to be one of those subjective points of contention just like ratings.

My opinion -- I think the running animations have been satisfactory going back to M11. I'm certainly not saying that they can't improve, but I don't think they're a notable flaw to the Madden experience.
