Madden NFL 17 Cinematic Trailer - Washington Redskins vs. Los Angeles Rams

[Godgers12]

That hinted at the very end there that the LB was about to jump over the line all apocalypse now style to try and block that. Confirms that there are indeed FG block plays designed for blocks up the middle, not just off the edge.

yeah but its a 'cinematic' trailer. so it might not have been in-game footage, right? the one with t.j ward (confirmed to be in-game footage) was not a 'cinematic' trailer if i recall.

Is it just me or do the Rams horns look a little bit more metallic? I won't get my hopes up too much but I'm hoping they are right this time.

Didn't realize that I had to play the game to make an observation in it.

2 Tavon Austin spins in the video and the defenders went flying. It's like they were sucked into some magic space.

Subtlety is one of the things that can take gameplay to the next level.

That hard stop then spin is overpowering and a cheeser's fantasy. And it's been in the game for years.

What has been done defensively to counteract it when defenders are reaching for air?

You need to realize the trailers aren't for people like you that meticulously analyze how defenders react to one of the most agile players in the entire NFL. They exist to hype up the casual crowd. Any real discussion about substantive defensive movement based on a trailer is kind of pointless.

We all will have to play the game to see how it handles.

Naw trust me they don't. I wish they fix that its annoying. The horns should be more metallic and bright too.

I remember being told it has something to do with how the helmets are scripted. Teams like the 49ers can have a metallic helmet because almost all the helmet is metallic, except the stripes and logo. But the Rams' horns are somehow not doable? I suppose we'd have to ask Kane.

You actually can jump over, you just can't use another player to step on to jump over or hurdle you over. Did you watch Kam Chancellor do it to Carolina?
