If you put some passing plays in that E3 vid and zoomed it in, guys would have had the same reactions they do now with these ESPN vids.

I see your point. I guess I just disagree. I don't the the E3 vids animated this poorly. The game I have right now on my 360 animates better than the ESPN vids. I actually like M25 and I'm disappointed in the ESPN vids (graphics aside)

I skipped all 11 pages hoping that by now it would have been cleared up and this was mistakenly labeled next gen but is really current gen. But seriously?! THIS is next gen? WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT HERE

Opps, sorry for posting twice twice, it's been going by so fast with all these comments, but, if this is what happened, they need to get there snuff up to snuff.

Retweeted by Josh View conversation Reply Retweet Favorite More Phil Frazier ‏@Fillycheze 3h @owengood That footage is clearly 360. My guess is the capture team didnt realize they had to use X1. It was probably pulled for that reason

Of course it's next gen footage cause the head coaches are wearing head sets.

Even though I don't buy that, the 360 does run that poorly with the wrong sliders.

Yeah but sliders don't fix the animations or the graphics that haven't changed at all.

This needs to be posted on the first page in that first post. I knew there was no way that footage could be next gen, in a lot of ways it looks worst then current gen stuff. EA needs to get their act together and currently label and release their footage.

This sort of thing does nothing to help them out in the long run

But it is in fact Next Gen!

Maybe Madden 25 NG will go the way of NBA Elite.

Why should this be posted on the first page? Phil Frazier doesn't work for EA anymore, so it's not like this is even inside knowledge.

Funny how this can be applied to both sides of the argument.

# 352 DarkOmnios @ 10/14/13 10:13 PM

That looked really bad...

It looks like Madden 06 all over again

# 353 tnixen @ 10/14/13 10:14 PM

I wonder how many of the EA developers working on Madden even really like football? Because I really find it hard to believe NFL die hards who really respect the game would create such bad football video game year after year.

they make a big difference with the animations, graphics is another story. but either way I don't buy the 360 mix up story. but I do think something weird is going on. I just don't believe that is a fully rendered, fully optimized latest build of the next gen game.

# 355 marshallfever @ 10/14/13 10:16 PM

Ok on a somewhat serious note, do any of you truly consider this footage to be representative of what Madden will look like on the ps4 and Xbox One next month?

As much EA bashing that goes on here, at the end of the day, no developer or creator sets out to make a bad game. I doubt these guys go to work and stress the last bit of development with putting in 12-15 hours days so they can deliver a game they have no confidence in nor hope.

Plus, really fellas (and ladies) do we really think this is what Madden will/does look like on these new boxes? There is no possible way the game can look like that, even if they put in no effort at all and ported the game up to the next consoles, it would still look slightly better.

They've been working their butts off to create something they believe in. I'm 100% sure the game will not look nor animate that poorly when it is released next month. Is the game going to be perfect and meet everyone's expectations? of course not, however it will certainly look and animate better than the current videos we have seen from ESPN.

Let's have a little faith in here people

People have already played next gen version of Madden in New York last week. And they said it looks no better then current gen. So why should we have faith?

It would take YEARS for any competitor to make a game that would challenge Madden. They got what they wanted with the initial deal. IMO, it's too late at this point. We just have to cross our fingers and hope that at some point, the EA devs are able to convince those making the decisions that there is a good reason to make the game an actual representation of the football we see on Sundays....

Ending the exclusive would benefit Madden even without a competitor. EA would have twice the development funds they have now if they went open license. Whether EA would put it back into the game and not share holders pocket is another thing altogether though.

Madden hasn't deserved much faith since at least 2010.

# 359 joshtree14 @ 10/14/13 10:23 PM

Would it be a relief if madden is pulling a show from 07 - 08. Where 07 was a port of the ps 2 and then 08 was what we basically have today. Could maddens 2nd team be hard at work at a true next gen game to be released next year?

Not a chance in hell!
