I noticed as of yesterday, EA had posted the Tebow cover on the news section. Today it is gone, presumably to fix the image of him that had been flipped?

1) Defensive and Offensive players still do not know how to go around each other. At 00:12 you can tell the DE rushing from the right does not do a good job of going around the TE and then coming up the field on an arc to attack the tackle.

2) 00:15, if the DT actually tried to attack the A gap/inside shoulder of the guard with a pass rush move already in mind that would have made that look a lot better. Too much rock/paper/scissors or I have to do this first then do that in the animations. Why can't a guy be moving and also swinging that club at the same time. The DL still do not seem to round off their pass rushing.

3) 00:17, still too easy to scramble outside with QB's because DE's engage at the damn line. Come on, run up the damn field and turn in!! Same thing happens at 00:23. Actually 2 and 3 are occurring there. The DE does not know how to get around the TE and then run an arc and bull rush into the offensive tackle so he just engages him right there. I'm going to be on them about that mess this year because it was a big gripe last year. Notice how easy the ND QB can move away from the blitzing OLB and that's because the damn DE, rather than running an arc up the field before engaging the Offensive tackle, engages him at the damn line. Come on EA.

4) 00:32, this has been a problem in EA football games that needs to be fixed. This WR is going to get bumped, however he needs to use his arm and also push back against the DB. Don't just get your a$$ thrown to the ground and look like a stumbling, bumbling fool while a nano blitz is coming up the middle and I can't throw it to you on a hot read. #27 plays with no technique on the WR once he's off the jam. Play inside or outside on his damn hip. Nope he just gets in front of the WR and runs the route and if the route has cuts the DB is burned. Post corners, Corner Posts were money vs man coverage in madden 10, if the DB's are not going to play any technique the same will be true in this game.

5) The route running by #82, he's still a little bit too high and he does not explode off the line. He doesn't give you the footwork to make that cut look believable either. Now once he catches the ball, there should be an animation where his spin actually squares him up. He shouldn't be able to spin while running and keep running. His spin should square him up and put him in a position to perform a move.

6) Why does TE #80 get really slow in his route. He comes off too high and not that explosive and then just gets really slow. Can't tell too much but the OL pass blocking looked weird on that play. Need to see it.

7) The Spin move. Ideally the spin move requires the runner to come off the gas. Give some footwork then spin like this



#11 does not do any of that. He just goes from full sprint into a spin. Do you realize how many ligaments would be destroyed doing that?

It's really small things, that might not be so small on the developmental side, I will admit that, but small things would have made this look a lot better. I think it will look better as a complete package even with the way it is, if the presentation is on point. But there are some game play things that need to be a lot better.

same old thing.

It's Tiburon football. It won't change people. If you're cool with that, then you should be all good. This is why I love me some Gamefly.

Looks the same to me.

With outside Linebackers in 3-4 and DE's in 4-3 defenses this is what we should be seeing as they rush the passer:



Actually let me qualify. With the 4-3 it should be this way as long as you do not pinch the line or shift it one way or another. If you pinch it you should get guys running an arc because they are way out of position to do so. If he shift it one way, you should get that outside guy running the arc, but not the DE who is now lined up inside of the OT because of the shift. Other qualifications can also be made. For instance, in the NCAA video when the OLB pressures the ND QB, it looks like the defensive front was 4-3 over with the backer on the line of scrimmage blitzing. You definitely do not want that DE on that side running the arc. However you do want the open DE running it so that the QB can't easily move away from the pressure and throw back across his body for a complete pass

Here is what we should be seeing out there on the edge out of 3-4 OLB's and 4-3 DE's.

Eh. The safety didnt close on the Notre Dame receiver until AFTER he caught the ball.

It was nice to see a RDE actually beat a tackle with a move.

I knew as soon as I clicked this link, there was going to be mass hysteria! SMH.
 
# 289 jmill703 @ 04/20/10 11:08 AM
LoL I viewed that video, and was thinking "Wow, the OS regulars are going to trash this video so bad..."
 
# 290 kindella2 @ 04/20/10 11:09 AM
i knew that after a vid showed all of the hype would be destroyed...not saying that the people on here saying its horrible are right or wrong...its just that i figured everyone would dissect this video like a high school and thats funny to me.

Overall it seems better and the same...saw too many of the same hits and yeah that spin animation was horrible. I would hope they would get some teammate celebrations. That ref almost got killed on the punt return. i dont think the DE/OL or the WR/DB interaction will ever be up to our standards but as long as it improves slighty.
 
# 291 SteelerSpartan @ 04/20/10 11:14 AM
LBzrule nails it really.....again I want to see some more gameplay, but the lack of transitional animations/foot planting is just going to be a real killer to our sim dreams

I really want to know if this is:

A. Are they even aware that the foot planting/transitional animations look bad???

B. Actively trying to fix it, and they just cant
 
# 292 icmOU72 @ 04/20/10 11:24 AM
Hey guys maybe they put this video out there so that people like us could take a look and do sort of an unbiased review of how it looks. They still have time to fix whatever probs we see.
 
# 293 jblack21 @ 04/20/10 11:32 AM
looks better then 10 but all it is is madden 10 gamplay and player shapes on ncaa 11..but its still a upgrade for the game..i guess
 
# 294 splff3000 @ 04/20/10 11:37 AM
I think the whole vid looks bad. A few things that stand out though is at 0:31, where's the locomotion? They are rushing the passer, then he throws the ball and the whole defensive line turns on a dime. That out route shortly afterwards at 0:37 looks horrible. Where's the locomotion there? He's running straight then just slides/pivots on both feet and runs out. And I don't know what that was at 0:50. There was just too much sliding going on there. I don't know why they slowed it down like it was something spectacular lol. I wouldn't have showed it. In fact, I wouldn't have showed the whole video. That's just me though. I really think a dev or someone should come and explain what's going on here.

I know a whole bunch of people were all giddy for NCAA before this. Well, welcome back to mother earth.

I'm sorry man, Madden 10 does not look like that.
 
# 296 Drocks @ 04/20/10 11:56 AM
Probably a lot of overreactions, but you could tell people were getting set up by the way they were talking about this stuff before the video came out. People need to realize that there's likely gonna still be plenty of WTF? moments with this game. But it's obvious they are working on some aspects with the locomotion stuff. But everything is not gonna be as we want it to be, and that's why this video is pretty much what I expected, good mixed with still bad.

They need to work on the route running and momentum with that, cause that OSU guy (Ray Small I think?) committed all the cardinal sins of physics with that play lol. The other obvious flawed one is the animation where Illinois back does the spin move. That was warping at its best.

Other than that, though, the video wasn't an absolute catastrophe. It's still going to be EA football, where they still want user control to be tight and responsive. They can't abandon the huge numbers of people who like the game because of its responsive controls and such, so it's going to take some work to balance the two sides. I'm encouraged that they're at least looking into it, cause in the past they certainly weren't.

This is why we need consistent interaction with a dev. We need confirmation on this vid. is this the official vid. or not? Last year we would have gotten an answer by now. If this isnt on the NCAA 11 site I question why it isnt and was this even meant to get out.

True. The reason why I would question the legitimacy is the simple reason of why would they slo-mo that spin move like that? That looked like a hot mess LOL
 
# 299 greenegt @ 04/20/10 12:05 PM
Terrible move by EA to release that vid. It has definitely dampened my enthusiasm for the game, however I'm not going to write it off, yet. I want to see REAL gameplay vids and try out the demo, before I make my purchasing decision.
 
# 300 bxgoods @ 04/20/10 12:09 PM
It didn't look that bad, it look like it had potential. But the passing routes and catches looked horrrible, WR's don't even look back when they are running routes before they catch the ball, that makes it look mad fake
