First reaction..... 0 hints at equipment updates :/
Not sure if the graphics shown there look quite like that Kap picture from yesterday.

Thoughts?

Double team run blocking looked pretty good.

The collision looked good, too.

Looked like a closer camera on Kuchely(sp), too.

Need to see more action.

Not having owned 14 and the herky jerky slo-mo nature of the vid makes it hard to tell, but graphic & animation wise, that looked like 14 to me.

[CubFan23]

I wasn't impressed at all. Your right, the graphics looked nothing like the Kaepernick picture.

I mean, how many players/teams still use the black/white convo for their shoes?

I'm pretty sure the Seahawks are rocking neon green/blue or neon green/black most of the time... I don't understand why team colors are not the standard shoe color... or for that matter, why can't there be any variety in shoe/equipment color from players on the same team? :/

I saw nothing in there that got me excited. The reach block attempt was cool, but who knows if that was just an animation or an actual interaction. Quick look in the background sidelines looked the same. As mentioned no equipment updates. Animations didn't look any smoother than usual. Still waiting to see extensive footage.

And.... Did someone else click to see the "feature set"????

3 advertised features... better defense, new cameras (again), basically online ask madden (WTF!)

Hopefully that page will be updated soon with substantial info.
