I really hope the gameplay has taken a step in the sim direction.. That's absolutely great if this year feels more like football than madden ball. But, If they don't get these animations in this game right next year, this game is a bust imo, and it will never improve like it should. I know I'm in the minority, but I'm honestly disappointed now. This game should animate way better.

So next year.. If they actually take an initiative to improve animations, this is what they need to do. Signature drop back & throw animations for every QB. This is next Gen no excuses. At least 3 different run styles.. particularly, but not limited to, running backs: Speedy, Power, Finesse. With varied skill traits. Like an RPG.

If they actually do this.. I guarantee the scenario for their usual yearly promotional campaign will be something like this: "In madden 15 we've realized our animations were woefully bad. With Madden 16's "Real eMotion (TM)" we've revolutionized the way you've looked at football animations forever. Get this.. The players actually move, and react like real football players."

Call it the "Real eMotion" engine or whatever you have to market it as. "In Madden 16 we're putting real emotion back into motion."

You're welcome Tiburon.. You can even have that at no charge. Just do it man.

Edit.. I'll take royalties though. lol

Seriously, if I see the same stuff next year, I might get banned from OS.

See it's little things like this that confuse me, just like the guys in shorts on the sideline in winter. These devs and testers play thousands of hours of the game, and nobody notices when they break something like QB stances? Or that they've just redone snow again, it looks great, but everyone else in the stadium is dressed like summer?

Probably has to do with the development process over there at Tiburon. One person usually calls the shots for each part of the game. No meddling or input if you don't work on that aspect of the game.

Player models look great. Gameplay though seems really fast and arcadey, don't know if I care for that out of the box. I'm gonna have to set it to slow or mess with the threshold to be happy with it.

Always does on most videos. Most of them just pop the game in and play on all the defaults.

I am telling you once the game drops and a lot of us around here drop it to slow, zoomed and get slider sets out the game will look and play really good. I was able to get M25 on the PS3 playing a gorgeous game of football with plenty of "wow" moment catch animations.

I just opened a twitch account so I will eventually get my link up so people can watch some games against the CPU (as well well as The Show 14, NBA 2K15 etc) once I get the game playing the way I want it.

I can't wait for this title!!!

That Atlanta/Saints vid of London Bridges at CB was all kinds of awesome sauce man.

Got to see some great bone jarring hits, the Matt Ryan player profile (in game CFM mode). Presentation has been worked on big time. Love what I see!!! And again crowd audio so far sounds off the hook!

The player lock camera rocks. And finally we have the NCAA player lock defensive camera!!! That makes defense a lot more fun. I really can't wait to dive into the new DL controls as I have always loved playing DE/DT on Madden and the snap jump, new swim and bull rush moves are supposed to be far more intuitive and easier to use.

Good times soon!!!

I was happy to hear you're moving on to next gen! I've used your slider sets for both MLB The Show and Madden in the past and they rock! Looking forward to the fall!

Maybe something funky happened with the roster. As long as I can go in and edit the qbs should be kool.

Yeah, stuff like this happens all the time in sports games. Roster updates, or other tweaking ends up unintentionally disabling something that goes unnoticed.

I noticed they removed the sig stance maybe thata what causing the animation not to play or as suggested above the roster is messed up. JP can you ask about this.

At least the motion is there thank god

What's with the secrecy surrounding this video? Was it released too early or something? There was a thread here featuring it that disappeared quickly. The immersion in that video looks damn good, too. Don't see why they would try to keep it under wraps.
