But I also have several issues with the video and direction of franchise. 1) No real time presentation like NBA 2k11. This is huge because after you play through 2 or 3 seasons, you have seen all the entrances many times and will skip through them to get to the meat and potatoes of the game....THE GAMEPLAY. So having pre-rendered entrances and such is nice, but real time camera work for presentation would of be HUGE in making every camera cut away draw you in that the action is happening on the field and not a standard cut scene. 2) Multiple hit tackles are a absolute must. It is by far one of the biggest "wants" by the consumers and I would believe would have been high on EA's to do list. So if they are not in, I highly suspect it is due to engine constraints. Lets all hope they can get them in, because it has been shown the old PS2 engine has multiple hit tackles. 3) Tackles......Tackles.....Tackles. I sure hope they have way more "wrap up" tackles. You see these big shoulder tackles but far more often in football are guys hitting square in the middle of the chest with the arms coming around to wrap up. Seeing defenders constantly go for these big shoulder hits just looks "gamey". To wrap up my feelings is like this. I LOVE this video and the presentation looks great, the graphics look amazing, and the level of detail to so many areas is truly impressive. But at the end of the day I think the gameplay will be the #1 most important part of the game. The "jerseys" being right, correct entrances, #9 wearing wrong cleats, etc etc will all fade and will turn less important if the gameplay does not improve. Important!! 1)So I hope the passing engine from both the offensive and defensive side of the ball improve greatly. No longer should defenders break on the ball when I press the pass button if they are running with their back to the QB. They should have to acquire the football by sight. The same should happen for the WR's, if you are forced to get rid of the ball early and the WR is still looking down field he should not break automatically because you pressed the button for the ball. This hurts immersion and gameplay. 2) Multiple hit tackles. This is KEY!!! Defenders should not do that akward falling animation and stutter step as Dave touched on. They should be able to come in and finish a ball carrier. It will help gameplay and specifically the run game. It is not a true game killer if it is not in, but will continue to make the series look substandard to its past PS2 iterations. 3) BLOCKING!!! We have to see a more natural flow to the blocking engine. I can't count how many times last night when I was playing how often the blocking just seems completely RANDOM. One moment my RT is completely man handling a DE all play brick walling him to the ground, then boom next play the DE turns into Reggie White and blows past my guy the instant the ball is snapped or another good example is when you are running the ball with your running back. I am scare to run towards my blockers because you know at any point the defenseman will beat your blocker. It is not "what happens" that is the issue it is "HOW it happens". The blocking engine just does not seem to have the correct weight and momentum flow to it. I hope this is fixed to a degree, because last night I was getting so frustrated.

Great post.

it's a real pic because the ball isn't sooo big like in the game

I was looking thru the shots and i Noticed new better looking addidas cleats ???

I might be getting my hopes up here, but I really think consecutive or at least double hit tackling will be in this year, because I don't see how they can say that gameplay is their number one priority and not add it, especially considering it was already in a game that came out in 2004.

Yea but one thing I learned when I went to EA is that just because they don't do something the "masses" want does not mean they didn't want to do it. It might be that it is just not possible with the current tech used.

# 206 Mike Smoove @ 04/19/11 05:25 PM

ok but wheres the double hit tackles ?

I'm so tempted to pick this game up in a few months. I picked NCAA 11 up, then traded it for Madden 11. Stupid move. Try not to jump the gun on this one, fam. Just wait until the demo drops. I have a good feeling about this game though. That speaks volumes for an avid basher of EA Sports. lol

# 214 sportzbro @ 04/19/11 06:02 PM

Damn.. that is a hot vid.

# 215 Kaiser Wilhelm @ 04/19/11 06:14 PM

looking at this a bit more those two tackles near the end of the video are so ugly. The tackler gets motion shifted so badly its noticeable at full speed.

I did not notice it the first time so much because I was amazed at the other stuff, but if you go back and look at it you will see.

I am praying that is not final production.

A little off. Stripes need to be thickened up. And the patch moved up a little.

My prayers have been answered: team celebrations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

They look awesome and I can't wait to see some team celebrations after TDs.

I have one gripe: that dang helmet with the ridge is back!!!

UGA going after Auburn player IRL, about a minute in.

Looks interesting (the graphics look great), but I don't know why they keep pushing these team entrances as a huge selling point. Do they really add much to the game? I tend to watch them once or twice then skip them after that. They're the same thing every time.

If you look at it from where #12 is when the tackle starts, its my opinion that the EA Tiburon "tacking codes" will never allow a consecutive hit tackle from this far out. Maybe it could happen if the other defender(s) are within a certain range- less then 2 feet or so- of the ball carrier.
