I can totally agree with that. Whats crazy is that the E3 trailer showed more life life/humanistic movement, but seeing what was shown today just looked like the same current gen movements, just smoother. I think what they do with the mo-cap team is tell them to over exaggerate everything so it looks "cool" instead of realistic. Madden has always been more of a "highlight" football kind of game, more than a gritty, controlled chaos type of game.

It's late and I'm sleepy, just now getting around to what happened earlier with regard to the "other" video for Week 4 MNF on ESPN. WTF is going on, didn't EA already confirm that other video WAS next gen footage too but just not encoded correctly? http://n4g.com/news/1364830/madden-n...-underwhelming

This is my biggest issue. The graphics look great but why does the player movement that was shown look much worse than the Peterson e3 tech demo? I'm reserving judgment until after they show more gameplay, but I have to say that while it's not anywhere close to as bad as actual Madden 06 gameplay compared to the vick and strahan cgi video it did raise a bit of a déjà vu feeling of ea showing one thing early then delivering something very different. The Peterson video had me excited for where they were going with next gen. This trailer felt like more of the same but prettier.

If that's the case, which from what I am reading it appears to be, then this looks like it is heading for another disaster. Encoding it incorrectly wouldn't change the fact that it looks nothing like the e3 gameplay video. It would explain why all the players looked like they were on speed and the lack of shine to the graphics. But honestly if they just balance the run defense that was awful on current gen and clean up some of the major bugs (draft class repeating, etc) and admit they couldn't implement they gameplay they showed at e3 in time but expect it in next year then I would be fine with a dressed up madden 25. But if it turn out that was truly next gen then they can't honestly say that is the same stuff they showed at e3.

Wait, so the other video IS next gen footage?

The thing that stood out to me was the Jay Cutler drop back. Complete crap. Player movement has not been fixed.
