Now, I haven't played Madden 13 in quite some time, mainly cuz I need to replace my PS3, heh, but is it me or are the natural head snap animations missing from the results of hits that were in Madden 13??? THAT was one of the first things I noticed that was actually pretty great and realistic when they first started showing off IE for Madden 13 and now it's completely missing. I'm starting to wonder if they over tuned IE with IE 2.0. Could be another example of EA going backwards when "going forward."

I think it's still there, Jamaal Charles' head whips back at :41, so does D Williams at :52

The speed in this video is just to fast. They really need to slow the overall speed down some. If they do it then it would look a little better. Looks like they are moving at warp speed.

It's just for the trailer, Simfballcritic addressed the game speed vs the trailer speed in the last analysis video of the 1st feature playbook run free trailer.

Looks pretty good. A lot better than the other trailers, good thing they took their time to make this one halfway decent. I wish there was more wrap up tackles though, a lot of the tackles they could've wrapped up, instead their arms really didn't do anything and they just shoved.

I really hope so. Because that kind of speed worries me when it comes to madden. Last year Madden even on super slow still felt a little to fast.

# 47 PantherBeast_OS @ 05/15/13 08:42 PM

Aside from the speed deal. I thought the video looked pretty good. I'm looking forward to full gameplay videos next month at E3. Bring it on baby!!

Not get worked up over one messed up gen.

Madden on the PS4 and Xbox Infinity will truly be very interesting. This last time, they decided to rewrite their entire engine from scratch with a short minded vision and sadly it wasn't very good for the long run nor did it allow them to be able to bring features from the previous generation from the get-go.

This time, they mentioned not starting from scratch so they could carry features over, and now the most recent news is talking about ONE engine to be used throughout their sport games like they do with their Frostbite engine. Frostbite in their case was written and developed by Dice, i'm interested to see whose developing their sport engine.

I would hope they would take the smart minds from all of their sport team to engineer an engine that can be used for a variety of sports without sacrificing what makes each sports unique.

This can either be very bad or very good, can't wait to see

I liked it..
Showed some nice things. Just hope the "hit stick" isn't a fumble making machine but I also know they probably just showed those since it's a trailer etc..

Anyways, I'm still excited to grab it day 1 as well as seeing what next gen brings.

I'm actually feeling like it's gonna be really good. There is no way that the next gen will be as bad as this one. I know they had to learn from that. it's either start with a superb new engine or add and take out bad stuff from the current. From hearing recent news, it is a fresh new engine for next gen that is capable of very good gameplay.

That was disappointing. There was nothing really there that was much different from the past. Just more buzz words like "heat seeker" to fill out the bullet points on the back of the box. I'm getting sick of all the catch phrases like IE, forces system, hit stick, etc.

The video spoke volumes in what it DIDN'T talk about. That is no modifier system on defense, no advanced controls for the DL and no improved system to break blocks. Disappointing but not unexpected.

They need to just combine all their catch phrases into one super, mega, ultra, unstoppable catch phrase.

How about a brand new re-imagined tuned and tweaked "Contextual Dynamic Situational Awareness Engine?"

Still a lot of nit picking but I knew this trailer wouldn't be bad when I didn't read anyone reference "back breaker" or "nfl 2k5" lol. With that said ea should be ashamed to a degree that it almost took a decade to catch up to what 2k captured. So I completely can understand not trusting this game to meet your expectations. But it's almost impossible to make the game or any sports game perfect. The real life game ain't even played perfect! It's what makes some players better then others and allows miracles/classics to happen before your eyes.

So lets not get too crazy about the blocking on this play and that play where somebody foot didn't plant but it still looked right And just hope the game is realistically fun and you can actually become skilled then allow your skill to determine the outcome.

How bout we jus put our big boy pants on, biaaah! giv the demo a chance biaah!! and then decide whether we buy this game or not! Biaaah! WHOSE WITH MEEE!!!

I liked it, a lot.

I think if they could nail the way players move, it will help make the running, the blocking, the tackling more natural and less animation heavy and exaggerated impact.

That Mayo/CJ Spiller animation needs to go.

Not true in fact one of the GC's said you can even fly into the RB while he's being held up like that.

# 58 BezO @ 05/15/13 11:08 PM

Did I see some engaged player mobility? At 1:12, Rams #79 against 49ers defender. It's not lateral but that's the farthest I've seen engaged players travel. Encouraging. Hopefully that can happen laterally (contain & maintaining outside leverage) and the other way up the field (pass rushing / pocket formation).

The angles & speed make it hard to analyze, but overall, I like the vid.

That would be awesome - you are talking a "cleanup hit" yes?

I will have to see it to believe it is actually in the game, because this will be the third time now that someone got me excited about this possibility...

True "cleanup" hits have never been in Madden - I am talking ball carrier is held up in "struggle" animation and the user can come "hit stick" him, both him and my own defender, the whole pile. There have been occasional "consecutive" hits, but never "initiated" by the user...
