Really this again? the phrase DONT BUY IT. I love football and football games so me not buying it is not going to happen. And if I didn't buy it it wouldn't matter since 4 million other people are buying it. So to say speak with your wallet makes no sense when there is no other brand to buy from. Make sense? EA didn't smash the competition they bought the rights to take out the competition. That's usually how it works you don't like Brand A you speak with your wallet and buy from brand B. If EA is so confident in there product year in and year out open it up to everyone. Competition moves the needle and without it we are left with the past 10 yrs of madden.

TTD, I can get on with this campaign and that is ultimately what to spatially look for in terms of weighing the fundamental gains.

A stiff arm from Gore that knocks a DRC on his butt and another that recoils into the RB's chest due to the force and size of the LB pursuing him (Patrick Willis on Lamar Millar).

Ratings that invite more range for error and ineffectiveness will also invite a new bridge of outcomes.

As Rex alluded to: We were not seeing a richer range of animations due to how effectively accurate QBs were by default - couple that w tethered passing and DB backpedal momentum being exaggerated and we expereience the side effects of a sweet tooth in the passing game.

It would be amazing to see offensive tackles have their backpedal momentum delay their response on certain cuts like DBs do. It would be nice to see that as a start so we can see DEs and Rush Backers attempt jukes and generic shimmy dances.

I am not blind to the fact that EA does serve us too many junk sweets over nutritional substance which later create early signs of cavity and decay in the said components of gameplay: some bitter-fruit (lemon) can be a good compliment to the sugarcane.

Coming from a guy who hasn't played Madden in 5 years (me), this looks pretty good. I'm a big defensive guy and in years past in Madden and NCAA (which I spent most of my time on) defense seemed like an afterthought. Glad to see they're putting some time and effort into at least attempting to make it more fun.

Based on what this video shows, they still need to branch it out, so that there isn't always an obvious win or loss by the lineman. They need a lot more animations. Most line battles don't result in such a clear advantage, and they certainly don't result in one lineman getting tossed to the side or pancaked with such frequency.

Combine this with all the rest of the goofiness in Madden and it looks too cartoonish. Yeah, I guess it's kind of cool that you can steer linemen now, but these line battles need a lot more work like pretty much everything else in the game.

Glad to see they improved OL/DL interactions. Like what I am seeing.

Looking forward to August and getting some hands on time with the game.

I finally watched the video and heard something really funny/ridiculous; Rex stating this was the first edition in Madden franchise history with the player lock/defensive cam.

That's just not true at all.

Really? It must have been from before I started playing Madden, what year(s) had it?

This camera is unique, looks like jumping is gone, can move from defensive player to player, and it flows to each as it adjusts. I'm sure many will take the name of it and imply they just re added a feature, but that's obviously not the case.

What we've seen of the new defensive camera looks outstanding so far.
