In all of these clips they have a stunt on to highlight the awareness of the line picking it up.

Guess it went from psychic DB's to psychic RB's Like I said the lineplay stuff looks pretty good. Really love that stuff. They just have to overhaul alot of this stuff like they did the line play.

Unfortunately, EA won't change this. They want the user to have control of the player and have more "wow" plays. EA has almost exclusively had the offense more dominant. Why else do they add the precision modifier and all those combo moves

Kind of like what the NFL is doing now. They are turning it into an offensive game. The offense has all the advantages.

Those videos are exactly what I was hoping for all these years. Focusing on where it ask starts, in the trenches. Sure, there is some fine tuning that needs to be worked on but if you ready just pay attention to the individual wars its awesome. There is actually momentum in true step. No more pity patty hand fighting.

Much better than I expected the game to look. I'll be the first to give them props for overhauling the O-Line. I think that's going to pay HUGE dividends.

That said, the running animations don't look much better. And why does the QB still throw and hold the ball in the exact same way they did this generation? That's something that should have never made its way over to NG. Hopefully they are still holding some stuff back, but I doubt there will be much.

Still, today was a good sign for the future of Madden.

I am indeed a little more impressed with these videos. I did notice some nice lighting in these videos, and I recall reading that NextGen Madden would have progressive lighting and progressive weather that changes and actually accumulates on the field. I know I read it on this site since I rarely read sports game news anywhere else.

Can someone help me out? I cannot seem to find this reference anywhere. I am a big fan of progressive lighting as it helps immerse you in the fact that the game is getting closer to the end when you see the sky darken and the lights come on.

Thanks for any help. Back to the subject at hand.
