It seemed like the game wasn't quite moving at 60fps, there seemed to be some stutter issues. Some of the motions themselves were far from perfect, and I did wince at the Big Ben sequence. It just seemed like a lot of the animations were lacking polish, like they might have had the limbs and things in the right places, but it all just didn't flow together as one cohesive piece. To me the good news is it seems like this video is from an earlier stage in the development cycle, even before they brought some of the OS guys in to try out the game. For those of you who read Ian's Twitter you'll recall him discussing putting a video together for Peter Moore for the first live demonstration, and this could be what we're seeing, which is somewhat supported by Kane saying that the game looked better on Fan day, but some of the stuff he did see was new.

When I say some of the stuff that I saw was new, I meant in the video it was stuff that wasn't there on community day, ala robo qb and robot stiff running. I don't think I saw anything actually new in the video that I didn't see on cd. Either way it still looked good give or take a few animations

I really hope that was Hood in a cover 2 zone, because if not he got burned by stupidity.

The thing that bothered me the most, was willi parker at a near dead stop. only to break out of a LB AND CB's tackle. If that was Brandon Jacobs, that play would be blown dead. You need momemtum to break those types of wrap up tackles.

It doesn't seem like there has been any emphasis on momemtum in Madden 10. Very dissapointed, I am looking forward to more video's, from a gameplay angle, so I can tell if the ol/dl interaction and pocket/run blocking are working.
I would also like to see proof that the WR will play the ball correctly, as well as momentum involved there as well.

2 things are clear from this video. 1....ea is listening at least a little bit and 2....its an improvement from the previous years

the good......gang tackling, player interactions, catching on the run,
the bad....qb throwing the ball looks like he is about to squat down to take a duce. all the players running looks weird. it seems that they are lifting their legs too high when they run.

Dude like serious, this is not the same development team. Nor did we get screens, videos, blogs etc... broken down and actually be interacted with by the team putting Madden together in the previous years.

Think about it this way, no one here has to make a un-educated guess anymore since we are receiving news alot earlier then what we would have normally got, not to mention the best news has yet to come.

So ungrateful, this team is pouring their hearts into making Madden better for the long haul. Its like there giving us a early demo(thats not the finish product yet) yet we complain.

Like, wake up dude.

Maybe you do need another blitz style game in your life, im no one to speak for all of the OS football lovers but we perfer a great sim-game of football, which is in the making and smelling better then bacon.

I enjoyed the video. People have to remember there is still a lot of work to be done. Well done Ian, Phil & Co. I can't wait for the rest of this weekend for all the other info..

Well said DeeJay. To be able to see a Madden trailer in April is a first. Like you said, it used to be what June before we would ever see a screenshot. Thanks to Ian, Phil, Donny and the rest of the Madden 10 for all the updates you have given us so far. Keep up the great work.

After looking at the video again I'm really impressed with the OL/DL interaction, it looks fantastic, and outside of the animations that aren't so perfect, many of the others just look sick. Watching Fitzgerald run the route at the end is awesome, it looks very natural.
