Edit: Oh and congrats on the little one, hope all is well.

This looks alot more promising than what we have seen so far.
If these videos don't whet peoples appetites than really nothing will.
obviously not going to be perfect but this is definitely some of the redesigning that most of the community has been asking for.
NOW I have some excitement back. For a while I was really disappointed.
Now show us some of those DE's getting to the qb. Show me some of the moves these guys are going to use to crush the qbs.

I also hope the give us some deep control mechanics for these DL moves. while ive gotten the hang of it on CG it could have been much more fleshed out and responsive.

This looks good, but it doesn't look Next Gen to me. I mean if you told me this was Madden 15 on PS3, I would think it was awesome. Those line interactions and cutting should've been in the game three years ago. I refuse to believe they needed a next gen console to put realistic blocking in a football game. I mean the graphics on this look no better than Grand Theft Auto or The Last of Us IMO. I think it looks good and it's definitely better. However, it doesn't strike me as OMG next gen like some other videos have. The line blocking looks good but I guess the animations were so poor that the recievers route running, the throwing, some of the running still look bad. The pretty much need to overhaul everything like the did for the o-line.

I agree with the exception that it should have been 6 to 8 years ago. not counting RTP this is the stuff EA could never pull off this generation. not because of hardware limitations but because of the core engine they started this gen with among other things.

You have no idea what you are talking about. And it's very clear you are not a baseball fan!

One of my favorite things about baseball is seeing that beautiful swing!

Thank you EA for finally making a good marketing decision...Showing acual gameplay with the improvements beats a pretty CG trailer any day...I likeing I saw and I still realize that in order to truly see/feel the improvements Igoing have to play the game.

You guys dissecting videos kill ..Face it...Madden will never meet your expectations...The animations will never be perfect enough, the QB drop backs will never be what you want...So instead of chiming in every page with your 300th critique of at you don't like maybe just realize that Madden will never be 2K enough or good enough to satisfy the level of perfection you have engrained in your mind that a sorts sim needs to attain.

If you enjoy Madden for what it is...EA's best effort to make money and give us a sports sim then you w sleep allot better...Allot of the complaints are off base because you don't know what build is or whether they were making some quirky move just to show off a particular aspect of the game that is improved...I just appreciate what I can actally see and I think they did a pretty good job. Looking forward to getting the game. This is exactly why I don't get all hyped up one way or the other because you really never know until you get the game.

All those guys yakkin about the MNF videos just ate a small servng of crow...LOL

This statement is a great example of something that a person would never say if these two people just met and were just having a normal discussion at a coffee shop, party or at school or whatever. First of all its just plain rude...2nd of all you should never assume your own opinion is more valued than the next persons opinion. 3rd of all you might get popped and you just end up looking like a tool when your rude to folks you don't know.

Its great to disagree I do it a lot but too many people here seem to think they are the authority on everything. Then if you don't agree with them the passive agressive stuff starts...SMH
