too quick of a look to say anything looked terrible or great, but I do like the way Peterson looked when he running in the really quick clip wit the defender reaching. Looks like he was actually leaning and turning. Cant wait till Monday.
The thing that stands out to me graphically, is how much different it looks from the stuff shown at E3. This to me looks much less next genish than the stuff shown in June, maybe that was being shown on a PC and not a ps4/xbox360?
Honestly, the graphical look reminds me of M12, M25 current gen graphics was purposely made lackluster to make the consumer feel like it had been up-graded. Lets see if the AI plays smarter and more like football should be played.
I bet you did not think Oswald acted alone either.
And if the AI is not greatly improved.....then what the heck good is next gen gaming?? It better be improved.....big time.
I think it looks impressive. A definite improvement but really, the run game is not the real issue with madden. If anything it's too effective. The defense needs addressing as passing needs a great deal of attention.
One thing I noticed which is quite odd to me, is that the Vikings seem to have the same socks bug as the Rams did in M13. Socks can't be worn low with predominant blue/purple.
Hope tho gets fixed as it's pretty inexcusable no matter how you look at it.

I was thinking the same thing. Why does this look so cartoonish? The live demo with the Vikings vs. Redskins looked much better. I will say the running animation where AP turned the corner looked real good because it showed acceleration/burst. Hopefully my biggest pet peeve has been addressed.
I have a serious question. Why does it look so different than what was shown at E3. When they had the running demo. The colors looked a lot better. Now the colors and EVERYTHING look like madden current gen.
I can not believe they used to SAME player models. I see so many of the same animations. Like that terrible quarterback animation where he hops back after he hands the ball off. It look at ponder. He looks the exact same.
The helmets still fit the same way on the players head. Weirdly. I was ready for madden next gen just because I'm craving something different. Anything. But It really looks like its just going to be a port.
Just to be clear on what my expectations are. I expected everything to be redone form the ground up. New player models. The current gen are so bad. They are not photorealistic. Nba 2k and the show are. No reason my favorite sports' game can't be. New animations for every position. There is no reason we should have any of the same animations. Because they are all so bad. I don't play madden (haven't played it I'm years anyway) and say to myself "damn that looks like something I'd see on Saturday. Or Sunday" I say damn it looks like ea sports football.
Even if other sports games aren't perfect. Which they aren't. I still see stuff that looks like the real deal.
I feel you, but I'd wait till Monday. At least I know I am. These coming vids will determine whether or not I cancel my pre-order.
Before hitting the play button to view the video you can see AP's face. Is it just me or does his face look completely different than the version they showed off during E3? (when he was jumping over a would be Redskins defender). The E3 version was spot on and this one looks nothing like the real counterpart. Head-scatcher.
No impressions from that video. Too zoomed in, too fast... just looks like they're trying to hide flaws instead of showing off the games new/improved features.
Definitely would like to see some actual gameplay where I can see if any AI improvements were made
The common sentiment seems to be that, graphically, this doesn't look like anything we've seen up until this point. So if people start to fly off the handle, not even mad at ya. Inconsistency has been the best way to describe EA for the longest.
EA can do no right in the eyes of OS forums. Graphics looked great. You guys are tripping if u believe this looks like last gen. But graphics is not my concern. I just want defensive players to play like themselves.
Just wait if this is the same crappy engine spruced up with better graphics. Wait to you see the implosion. I don't get worked up over it anymore, I've given up on NFL video game football.
