I feel that the teaser videos wasn't very showing of the gameplay and all. But from what I was able to see I liked so far from the videos. I'm really looking forward to thursday when the good videos come out. Can't wait.

EA, we all know you make really elaborate team-specific intros (albeit non-dynamic ones). That was never the problem since 2008 when you started doing those movie-like tunnel sequences. The problem is that it ends there and the actual broadcast is lackluster and disconnected.

I guess we'll see on April 28 if EA stepped up to the plate in this greatly neglected area of presentation. I hope they do.
Exactly. And I'm in the 'watch it 3 times and then skip it' camp.

It looks really cool. Im very excited. I love the team entrances and intros...the thing where Michael Vick is coming from the sideline looks awesome (second vid, first N in presentation). Im super pumped...I hate how people say that they wont buy it. Most will because they will get sick of playing 2011. They all complain about having the same animations...so waht there might be some of the same one but its not like a duplicate of Madden 11 and callled it Madden 12.

Pre-game hopefully. They looked like stats for over the course of a season.

This is HUGE for me. The last two years, I've been fed up with the pre-game stat overlays which gave you NO indication how the QB was playing that season. They gave you the # of completions (I believe), yards, and TDs. Now you can tell whether the QB is having a good season or not...

Still, to really get an idea of where presentation has/hasn't come, we'll need to see some gameplay videos. The teasers hint that EA has righted the ship during pre-game, quarter-end, etc. Where I need to see major improvement is in-between snaps. Don't mean to be a broken record (and at this point I am), but I want to see more realistic/frequent stat overlays and TV camera work during pre-and-post play sequences. This is where 2K still has their number.

Agreed man. That and the draft!

And the EA Sports in the Vick screen is clearly a spot for in-game ads. Just look at the size of the graphic.
you seriously can't just quickly explain why?
from what Ive "searched" there is not concrete answer to why they don't
 
# 67 Blitzburgh @ 04/25/11 09:45 PM
That was stupid! What was the point of showing those teasers? You couldn't see anything. It certainly didn't make me want to see more.

NCAA 12 has me excited for football and Madden, well, has me excited for NCAA 12.

So true. I hope they can finally get this right. Once Vick got closer to the huddle, that camera angle looked really good.

Basically they don't want to upset the NFL (network) and ESPN by using one and not the other

I see thanks! that sucks maybe they could use both... oh well lookin forward to thursday, hopefully the between play presentation and commentary is better.

There are many people that only buy, and thus look for info, on one or the other.

ok...so now you'll wait until a gameplay vid is released before passing final judgment. Funny, seemed a few posts ago, you were already writing the game off.

Hey, your decision is your decision...seems silly to me to pass any type of judgment on the game that has done nothing but shown teaser trailers and even with those, its tough to make anything concrete out.

Is it possible that the Buffalo uniform is just a random combo?
 
# 76 GoodImmigrant @ 04/25/11 10:27 PM
wow, They got the definition of a teaser video down. can't wait til Thursday

No. First off, the white helmet with charging buffalo isn't among their current gear. Second, the only unit they have with blue pants is the darker blue like they've been wearing for years, but the video shows them much lighter. Third, I've never seen them use an unofficial combo uni in any trailer.
 
# 78 thejuice5 @ 04/25/11 10:40 PM
madden has the ability to make the key additions we desperately need/want in the game...they simply add meaningless tidbits because they know there is no competition...its marketing...they always ignore the HUGE additions that could make Madden an authentic NFL game..
 
# 79 NoTiCe_O @ 04/25/11 10:40 PM
Saw a Pylon get knocked over when the Steelers were entering the game.

REAL TIME PYLON PHYSICS!
 
# 80 BlackJack_Williams @ 04/25/11 10:43 PM
Presentation trailer looks pretty good, I must admit.

Game play trailer... not so much. It's early so I won't say too much about it but I look forward to some real game play footage.
