It shouldnt matter at all. If EA has to make Manziel a 10 foot black guy in order to avoid lawsuits im fine with it. The hard working people that make the community rosters will fix it.

Yeah I am not sure why there have been a number of roster related posts in this thread. There is no way EA is going to put out a video with anyone closely resembling Manziel with the lawsuit in full swing right now.

People, we have roster makers for a reason, relax.

I think Manziel would sue..

What makes this video difficult to decipher is that it appears to have been gameplay run at Normal (or higher) game speed. In all past iterations of NCAA (and Madden 13 using IE), animations look better when the game is run at slow speed.

Slow does make the game look sooooo much better. I just wish I (personally, not saying this is for everyone) didn't feel game gets too easy on that level.

I really need to see a video showing CPU vs CPU action. One of my biggest concerns is CPU play calling and how it can kill an offline dynasty

This video didn't increase hype at all for me, it also didn't decrease at all. The video was what I expected for this game, this year. IMO it didn't look bad I'm rather happy that IE wasn't overly done but I need more evidence during E3 to form an opinion.

I'll buy the game regardless I'm still playing/enjoying the game in my OD on 13 and we will roll into 14.

I would rather them work on next Gen and get that right then them wasting a lot of man hours, basically I'm happy with the improvements this year, as small as they are.

I think the OL blocking is HUGELY improved. Watch each read play 5 times, focusing on each of the OL. Blocking actually looks effective and non-labotomized. All players on O and D seem to be playing "realistically" and reacting well to the plays. To me this is more important than perfect RB physics (though that would be nice, too).

HOWEVER, withholding judgment until a larger sample size is available. I have ZERO faith in EA after this gen's FUBAR performance. I've seen vids like this in previous years and then the game has totally let me down.

Note, however, that illegal linemen downfield was not called on the screen play. That gets called less than it should in real life, so it's not a huge issue here, but hopefully this will get called in extreme cases.

It's definitely dynasty mode because of the ticker at the bottom and its definitely not year 1 because A&M plays LSU at LSU this year, not at home. #8 isn't a backup either, there actually isn't a #8 on their entire team. And it's not just manziel, those aren't the other starters either. Definitely not year one of dynasty. But even if it is, I could care less. Game looks great
