Still campaigning for Eli's Sandwich TD celebration from SNL.

thats part of the problem with madden animations..when a play is over or when a player is done doing his jester or dance..he automatically turns into a robot..pivots around and walks off into the generic walking robot animations that all players in madden do after their specific animation...these generic walk animations sticks out like a sore thumb....they need to be more fluid in nature and more varied ..much more varied...im referring to the general/generic walking animations..too robotic-like.

Way too stiff. Nice that it's in, but looks a little too stiff. Guess EA thought it was good enough. Idk if that bothers me.

One thing I also wish they would do is put some kind of transition animation between the dance and the return to the sideline or teammates. He dances, then just walks away like nothing happened. I wish he would hop or strut or something that shows some sort of excitement on his way back, or his teammates would come up to him to celebrate with him.

Yeah this doesn't look right with him all by himself

I hate how after celebrating players do that stupid looking stroll back to the side lines like they have no emotions.

# 27 thehitokiri @ 05/21/12 09:51 PM

There is nothing there that is anything we have seen done better IMO. There is a lot there that looks terrible though Still waiting for June 4th

you really think 1 day is gonna change all that?

Man, some of you guys set yourself up for serious letdown. Every year.

They could post a video of real NFL gameplay and say it's Madden 14 and people would still complain about it.

So wait, I shouldn't point out that the linemen are recognizing when they are bumping into each other in the background?

LOL @ all the people saying the dance is stiff -- really? Doesn't bother me at all -- then again I'm an Eagles' fan and I don't want to see that stupid dance anyway!

# 31 berad88 @ 05/21/12 10:11 PM

I think it is impossible for some of you to ever be happy. I hope that drafted players can have a chance of getting a random celebration.

We all want a great NFL football game, but come on. There was nothing really great to take away from that video. in fact, there was a lot of negatives. Including major ice skating, and lifeless emotion in the animation. Just the fact there is a cut scene of Victor Cruise doing his dance simply isn't as awesome as it was years ago. Things like this have been done for a very long time, and done much much better(at least in that video) This is not 2004/05. Sports games like NBA 2k, the show, and others have set a bar higher. Some people are still happy with just playing NES Tecmo Bowl,and don't see why we need anything else. That doesn't change the fact it is outdated to the majority, and lacks features and gameplay other games have accomplished through the years.

I think we were watching different videos because what I watched was an eleven second video of a virtual Victor Cruz salsa dancing. There wasn't anything great to take away from the video?! Of course there wasn't!! It's an eleven second video of Victor Cruz salsa dancing!

Maybe this is why we don't get nice things guys. They give us a video of a guy doing some touchdown celebration and people proceed to absolutely beat it to death like it is the most god awful, atrocious thing people have ever laid their eyes on.

Are we really looking at this video and bringing up comparisons to Tecmo Super Bowl? Come on, now. It's an eleven second video of salsa dancing for crying out loud.

# 34 berad88 @ 05/21/12 10:42 PM

I liked the video. I hope there are tons more celebrations. Celebrations make touchdowns even more fun especially when somebody scores and you are not sure if they are going to do something silly or not.

# 35 TheNumber35 @ 05/21/12 11:19 PM

Kinda want to see this one...just because I genuinely dislike Plaxico haha

# 36 Da-Man @ 05/21/12 11:27 PM

Very cool that they put that in and you can clearly see the RTP exhibited in that video. There's no way they could have done that with the old engine.

# 37 bxgoods @ 05/21/12 11:33 PM

I don't mean to be critical, but why doesnt victor cruz have a custom face? He's still using a generic face that looks nothing like him.
It's inexcusable for victor Cruz not to have a custom face this year, I hope it plans to be implemented.

Before I even look at the comments I will assume the discussion is about the rest of the team so far in the distance being non chalant

Edit: not as much as I expected.

No, its actually people being happy that EA is trying to make the game more authentic and give it personality.....Oh wait.
