Done by paid professionals and it turned out like this. Meanwhile I've seen guys on this site use a certain basketball game to recreate commercials to perfection. That is sad.

On the plus side, with the exclusive license still set to expire and EA laying off 10% of its work force, I know for certain I won't be tempted to purchase this game even for a moment.

I posted the link to the TSO QnA in post #125, you have to read through a bit but it's only like 4 pages at this point. The EAGC addresses this in two separate responses, I started to piece it together in this post, then thought of the irony of giving you an info assist, when you can just go read it for yourself, lol.

That video was just... yeah.

I read about the features for NCAA and Madden and what they are trying to do with adding foot planting and slowing down to cut and making the running more realistic, but if you are going to use the same animation system and just add a foot plant here and there, and think that your job is done, then I guess everything I've ever thought or said about this team has been validated.

I don't see much hope for this franchise. I see a lot of good intentions, but too often those good intentions are manifested in trying to repair a sinking ship with duct tape.

For those that commented that they are waiting to see what next gen brings, I think it's time to stop deluding yourselves. You know what next gen will bring. If you are being honest that is. This is the best that they can do. It always was.

Search your feelings Luke. You know it to be true.

NO, there is good left in this team, I know there is, lol. Seriously though, I challenge this, no way M25 will move like this on a completely new engine, seemingly Frostbite, with Kolbe heading it up. I have no idea how "gimmicky" the game may be if still effected by the same powers that be for XP progression and fun/realism balance but I would put money on the players will actually move like real people on the new consoles.

Perhaps we could place some kind of sig wager, where the loser has to place some predetermined statement in their sig for a set period of time. Something like "If [insert winner] states it, I believe it and that does it, always bet on [inset winner]", lol.

Now what in the wild wild west makes you think that next gen Madden will run on Frostbite lol??????

This is Tiburon we are talking about. The original walled garden. Better animation and physics tech has always existed, even within EA, and yet it was never leveraged. There is not a single game that I can think of that is developed or produced by any other team or publisher that has worse animations than Madden, and yet here we sit, more than a decade later, and they are still soldiering on, much like Sinatra, content to do it their way.

I'm sorry. I don't see it happening. Next gen Madden will be redesigned most likely, but it will be redesigned, by and large, through what ever tech collaborations that Tiburon and EA Canada come up with. Will it look better? Damned if I know. Many think that due to the sheer power of the new consoles that next gen Madden will be better by osmosis. I wouldn't bet on that. As gimped as the PS3 and 360 look by today's standards of technological evolution, there are still games for both systems that animate EXPONENTIALLY better than Madden, using the same hardware. The aforementioned Battlefield comes to mind. Uncharted, The Last of Us, and Tomb Raider, animate absolutely gorgeously as well, so I wouldn't look to the PS4 and... NextBox to be the boon to Madden that many think it will be. Powerful system is one thing. Knowing how to harness that power...

All I can think of after seeing that ridiculous RG3 animation at the end of the trailer is R Kelly. "Move your body like snake Ma. Like that?" Pitiful.

You might as well change your sig now.
