Madden NFL 16 E3 Gameplay Trailer

I advise anyone unimpressed by the trailer (like I was) to view these 3 gameplay blogs. Really blew me away and gives you a better idea of the game.

I am definitely very optimistic. This is as positive I have felt about the game in years. I am definitely needing to see on screen gameplay footage. When do they open up the booths for people? Tomorrow?

Personally I'm really hyped. Hopefully the game does deliver as they described on the blogs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll complain about stuff still not there yet BUT I'm pretty happy overall from what I've seen so far.
Well not complain but give input constructively

Maybe it was highlights during Halftime. Would be awesome if it was a highlight from another game.

You can see from the developer blogs that theu are trying to focus on more realism..

With that said, they still have not found a way to fix the clunky animation system and locomotion.

For this game to look and feel fresh, they need to completely re-write the animation system for movement. This game needs to animate as smoothy in motion as PES soccer, FIFA, NBA 2K etc...

When that happens, all these other nice additions should look a lot better.

Two Key things for Madden to turn the corner:

1. All new locomotion and player movement sytem.(This includes a complete re-write to player movement AND the way they animate in motion)

2. Player Specific Traits and Animations- Madden needs to adapt the NBA 2K player differentiation system (badges) and add thousands of player specific animations for ALL positions on the field.

The animation and movement system has been the glaring weakness since 06'. If they can figure that out we may be on our way to a great football game again.

The Good

- No warping ball to ODB jr’s one-handed catch. As OP it could potentially be at least it looked great even on .25 speed. HOWEVER, Aaron Rodgers pass at 0:13 secs seems to warp into Jordy’s hand. You have to play it at .25 speed to notice it.
- When slowed down to .25 speed you can see Eddie Lacy’s dreads swing as he jukes. Nice

The Bad

- Don’t know if they added team celebrations
- Crowd looks untouched
- 0:53 mark ODB’s one handed catch, we don’t get the full picture but it ends up with ODB/Shields falling with his hands on ODB’s back resulting with ODB making the crazy one handed catch. I really hope that’s not a canned animation if ppl spam user “Aggressive “catch with ODB.
-
The Ugly

- Rodgers/Manning throw animations - When slowed down to .25 speed you really see the lack of fluidity in the animation.

Takeaway

Trailer didn’t scream a deff buy, nor did it show me anything I really hate. It’s a meh trailer. However the warping looks like it still exists in passing and I can assume it may still exist with tackles.
