This. I mean we still have over 2 months until release and I'm sure a lot of information still hasn't been told, but EA is notorious for introducing something then never improving on it. If true step isn't applied to every player on the field and not just the ball carrier it's a fail.

It's still enough sales that they would not be anywhere close to panicking.

I know that Square/Enix was disappointed with only 5mil copies of Tomb Raider sold (pre the Definitive Edition, which sold extremely well, so now they're happy), but I'd wager the investment into producing that title was a lot more than Madden. Exclusive license aside, Madden is very much copy paste and very little R&D. At least I hope they don't spend a lot on R&D with these results.

The biggest expense associated with Madden is marketing and the license.

Man I'm not doing this song and dance again....I don't want to see any more of these heavily edited Madden trailers that never represent the actual product.

I can't judge anything by this trailer. I'll wait for unedited gameplay.

why do I even bother to click on these trailers every year?
Sorry but I see barely any improvement in player models and movement.
Looks nothing close to as good as the Kap screenshot. I dont care what anyone says.Also love the 7 year old gloves and cleats.
NFL films cameras? like a few years ago? yeah...nice.

I'm just so tired of this franchise.

Also worth noting that Tomb Raider 2013 had a three-year development cycle. So yeah I imagine the technical budget of that single game blew Madden's single-year technical budget for a very iterative game (as most sports games are year-over-year) out of the water lol.

It's also a tough comparison to make given that EA Sports shares so much tech now; how much of the cost for the development of their common toolset IGNITE goes to Madden, to FIFA, to NHL, to NBA Live, to UFC?

Same as always.

I thought it looked good, then again I know Madden is a video game.

When Luke flexes, his arms look wierd just like they do in other maddens. Are EA incapable of making graphically good arms? They look so stupid when players are tensing.

Nothing from the trailer excited me. Typical.
