Just my opinion. I am not going to watch the ESPN video because it doesn't look like what I will be playing in November.

Also, both are gameplay videos...

EDIT: I agree, I would love to see the same video in the highest quality possible. However, you can't be naive to how big a big company like ESPN runs social media. They will NEVER delete that video and upload a new one. It just won't happen.

Hey Big,

If you would like to or have the desire to do so please start a thread comparing that other video which we now know to be next gen.

That other thread that is now closed was agenda filled and not necessary and is not going to be reopened but I wouldn't mind at all a discussion on the variances of the two videos as long as it's done with productive thoughts in mind.

I don't understand what video quality or encoding has to do with the gameplay looking exactly like current gen....you can't encode next gen madden gameplay video to look like current gen madden gameplay. Graphics? Sure. But gameplay doesn't change due to video encoding. If the 1st video is indeed next gen Madden, I will not touch it. That better be WiiU gameplay.

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.

The graphics of this are NO WHERE NEAR the renders from E3:

C'mon man, obviously this video didn't appear out of thin air so it would seem easy enough for EA Sports to get this same video and upload it encoding correctly to the public. No offense man but I don't get this seeming loyalty or instinct to defend mistakes, regardless of how anyone feels about the game or EA as a whole. I'm a life long Redskins fan but I don't feel the need to justify or defend whatever the front office or players do because of that.

Also I just realized that you mentioned being "naive" in reference to my statement, that's ironic considering that's how buying into this whole game play trailer distraction and ignoring the MNF video seems to me.

Also, camera men would all look the same and the crowd would not be 3D

Right encoding doesnt create new camera men

the saints vs dolphins video was next gen?? were encoding problems the reason for the same animations?... how about the same qb dropbacks... td celebrations... everything! i can't believe what I'm seeing
