Who signs off on this? Uwotm8?!

Play starts at :38. 2nd thing I noticed. Animations kill this game.

I will say the graphics look like the Kaep screen in this vid. 1st thing I noticed.

But the animations... even if I could get past the lack of football AI, the animations ruin this game for me. Casual, hardcore, sim, tournament, freestyle... I can't think of a gamer-type that wouldn't appreciate realistic animations.

Here's to hoping new animations are turned off like they did with the physics last year.

The graphics look good and I'm excited to see more. Skipped 25 so I will probably be picking this up.

Not to go off topic, but I honestly believe sim didn't do that for views man. He even addressed it in his Madden impressions. The fact that Rex is calling out 2k now proves something is going on.

Exactly. I've been saying this since the first trailer, but people were too dismissive and pessimistic to think it was actually the case. Yes, that Kaep picture is legitimately from gameplay.

At this point I think anyone who denies the obvious upgrades to the graphics/player models is just trolling. The game, without a doubt, even without a true HD video to go offf yet, clearly LOOKS much improved.

That pull down from behind/side tackle is killing me. Once a game I can see, but it happens constantly.

Another thing is the RTP tackle pileups. The play just extends for a long period because the ballcarrier is laying on top of someone under the pile and it won't call down. That's so weird. I figured that would've been fixed by now, but 3 years and a console generation later, still there.

It's really hard to convince people that something is moving forward when so many old things are still there and highly visible.

The graphics look better, but it doesn't look like the Kap screen to me, which was close to photorealistic.

Stills look better than a game does in motion, granted, and the time of day is not the same, hence different lighting, but there was never a moment where I got a feeling of photorealism from any video. I'm sorry.

As for the lighting issue, Madden has to be the only other game, aside from Watch Dogs, where it looks like a totally different game, in terms of quality, depending on the time of day. That is an indication that those two teams don't do lighting very well.

You're comparing a high res screen shot with off camera compressed video streams though..
