Looking forward to next gen Madden! Skipping current gen but will get current gen NCAA for some FB fix.

Love the way the game has come together. Can't wait for release!
The trolls and career whiners aren't getting me down since we have the ignore button.

It is amazing that so many professional video game programmers we have here giving their critique of this game. I'm sure everyone of these people know that what they are complaining about is totally possible to implement and actually really easy to do because they themselves have already done it on their own projects.

With all this next Gen stuff can we finally get a halftime show EA!!!

Their is no excuse why tackling isn't down packed in a next-gen game, I thought IE was suppose to foster gang tackling? but I seen non in that video! In fact the taclking was horrible and im not talking about AP breaking tackles because I know its on Rookie, im talking about the same old canned animations that have been in this game for years, im talking about tacklers still falling over like bowling pens around the ball carriers once a tackle animation starts, im talking about tacklers diving past ball carriers like they are not even their once the animation starts! Im talking about at 9:50 of that video how that tackle animation started and their nothing AP can do about it, resulting in a unrealistic tackle. Ill be shocked if these things are fixed before release. They either need to go 100 percent physics or make IE so good that we barely can tell the difference between IE and real physics.

It seems like NG Madden is basically the same game with a bit more detail in the models and textures, a few extra plugins turned on to take advantage of the increases processing power. It is the smart move but points to being snake bitten on trying to develop a new engine for a new platform like the previous NG game did. A bit "damned if you do, damned if you don't", unless of course they tried and actually did it well.

And while all these extra AI bells and whistles sound great, EA have long since lost the benefit of the doubt when it comes to implementation in my books. Anything that adds extra complications rings alarm bells for me and potential glitches, bugs, and half arsed measures. I'm not dogging it outright, I'm just firmly in the camp of "I'll believe it when I see it", where "see" is having it proven without question to be what it is hyped as.
