Madden NFL 13 Video - Gameplay With Jim Nantz and Phil Simms In-Game Commentary

[Aggies7]

Better than Gus Johnson. But I did hear the same comment made twice about going down the field and scoring which will change the other teams

And I know it's nitpicking. But would be nice if they acknowledged who won the first matchup for division rivals.

If this wasn't labeled Madden 13, i would of assumed it was any other previous madden, the commentary sounded generic from what they showed off. The game looked exactly like Madden 10 which 2-3 years ago was awesome, but it's been 2-3 years lol

I'm still sort of hyped for it, but this video did nothing to generate more hype from me, it actually sort of depressed me a bit lol

I will be very honest , and will do it in a very respectful manner.

The video did absolutely nothing for me. Watching the video only confirmed once again what I have felt for years now. This engine must go.

I do not like the animations. I dont like the stop and go movement the players tend to have at times. What I mean by this is when they get into a stance they stand like statues. It looks unnatural. I could understand on the offensive side, but not on the defensive side.
The transition of one animation to another also looks bad to me. It just doen't look natural. It looks awkward and uncomfortable. The players tend to move like players playing with a injury, and not being able to move gracefully.

Now I will not be foolish to say the game is not different simply because I'm watching a video and not actually playing the game, but this video is not convincing me. I just feel down at this time to be honest.

This video just knocked June 4th down on my list. I will see what the announcement is, but I'm really on the side of the fence where I feel I won't be blown away.

I'm convinced that in order for Madden to be with the big boys. They have to change the engine.

This current engine produces nice eye candy, but fails in other areas to me.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open, maybe the clip was more so just to hear the new guys and it wasn't near completion. I kinda refuse to believe that was a final cut of their commentary myself. Nut yeah, I'm pretty sure the crowd isn't done in this video and I won't even comment on it because I believe that's not complete and wasn't the focus in the video.

The QB cadences sound nice, BUT the rest was pretty boring. The commentary sounds the same as ever. It is not that Gus, Chris, Phil, or Jim are bad commentators....it has to be the way EA is implementing it. I really am not interested in people talking about this being an earlier build (as the same people say every year), only for us to find out in August, it is the same thing we saw before June. The commentary is too scripted, they don't discuss the differences in teams, key players etc. It is all very generic and that does not allow for anybody to be immersed.

I'm sure the Pass Trajectories will make a huge diference in the passing game, however too much of the game looks untouched. I will be looking for June 4th, 2012 to see what the big "bomb" will be.....#patientlywaiting

Glad to have Gus gone though.

Good thing I'm not buying this game.

okay...well...I did expect more energy, and it still seemed like alot of empty space. Hard to judge right now tho..
