The sound of the game sounds much better than 25. Still would like to see better running animations, and WR/DB tuggle. Didn't like how the DB just watch the receiver on a TD catch, but I do see some new things that I like.

With all these Niners/Seahawks videos, I am guessing that's the matchup we will have in the demo?

Maybe I'm easy to impress but this looks a good fun version of football. Yes the animations are dated and some eyesores, but it really does look improved and I'm excited.

Also, you can tell this is on a lower difficulty for sure.

PROS: The post-play player celebrations/interactions are nice. I like that they are on-field and not cut-scenes. I much prefer that the camera never leaves the field and the players simply act and move as they normally would, right where they are after the play ends. As opposed to magically appearing on some other part of the field in a cut-scene that doesn't really pick up where the last play left off.

CONS: The players still have that madden "robotic" look to them. They don't look "loose" or "natural" like other players in other sports games do. I don't know if it's a lack of frames per animation or shoddy motion capture or what... but these players don't move like real NFL players move. They continue to look stiff and it continues to bother me, year after year. It kills a lot of the immersion.

I liked a lot of the vid but still hated about 25% of the animations. I also didn't like how the defender stood and watched a TD being scored instead of contesting the pass. Also hope I don't see those helmets on the ground every game after a qtr of play. MUCH improved game but you still have a ways to go EA. I don't like you as a company but I gotta give props when they are due.

Is it just me, or are their no gang tackles in this game? I see some "consecutive hit tackles"' but I don't think there was even one two man gang tackle in this whole clip.

I love the presentation at the end of that quarter. Just like in a real game, they show the biggest plays and the score before the "commercial break". Tons to like, tons to hate...looking forward to August though.
