How confident are you these new features like Custom Playbooks will be implemented properly ? Will they be available in Online Franchise mode ? Did they finally complete Online Franchise mode or is it still almost an Online Franchise mode ? I'm not very confident.

Sorry Danimal I posted this before I saw your post... you can delete as I violated everything you just said.

I just pray Tiburon removes most of the goofy, awkward, and repetitive animations one day.

I say something crazy here but what if X-Book means we be able to get plays from NCAA 12!!!

Some very positive things that could be in, interested to see how this will effect the Superstar/Franchise mode they said they were gonna fix this year. Kinda on the border about getting it this year(I actually returned a Madden for once, of course I'll pick it up later for $3 just to add the Brees cover to my Saints collection lol), but my interested is certainly there now.

What's the ETA on additional info?

I'd imagine sometime around the NFL Draft..whenever it ends up actually being held.

Playbooks? 0_o

What was up with the 10 sec clip zoomed in on the guys feet? Really? That was just plain stupid!
after seeing the first ncaa screenshot, i'd say it was to show the 3d grass. although, i couldn't tell if it was actually 3d. but from that 4 mm by 7 mm box of the vid, it appears to be 3d. maybe.

My last statement for those jumping to conclusions in this thread:

If you don't think the game is up to your standards, don't buy it. It's a trite turn of phrase, but it is true. Video games live in a free market society. You get a choice on what to put your money on. If a game isn't going to be fun for you, don't buy it.

I'm not defending Madden. I did not buy Madden last year. Jumping to conclusions based on a 24 second video is foolish. At the very least, I would wait for some gameplay footage before I made any kind of decision on whether I think that Madden is a decent game or not.

they still have a few months of dev time. and i'd say something like that would still be in the tuning phase.

i just hope it isn't overpowered. the debut of the spectacular catch rating comes to mind.

Your choice is between buying a video game that you feel is worth your money or not buying a game that you don't feel is worth your money. If you don't like the game, buy one you enjoy instead.

Seriously, there are a ton of good video games out there. Don't pigeonhole yourself to professional football games if you aren't satisfied with them.

Guys the field goal videos just mean new camera angle for field goals.. has nothing to do with blocking them. Why would they make them easier to block? Stupidest idea ever.

Crowds looked terrible, players loOked the same, animations looked the same. But we have symbols!

Seeing Walter Payton cannot be good, they are going to go the NBA 2k12 route, but instead of adding alot of substance to gameplay/franchise, they will just pump out mass marketing about being able to play as Old time greats.

Looks like another gimmick year to me.

The only mode I played last year was 3 vs 3 online, which was brutally designed, but was fun when you actually got into a good game. The only way I buy this is if that mode is improved.

There's a different thread in this forum that details when the blogs are being released. First one is due out April 22 and details "X-Books and Gameplay", where I think we can now change "X-Books" to "custom playbooks".

I don't understand how you came to those conclusions and gross oversimplifications based on thirty seconds of low-resolution video. You completely disregard the apparent additions of customizable playbooks and inclusion of player tendency ratings, both of which have the potential to significantly alter how the user plays the game. You also completely misinterpret the inclusion of Walter Payton; he was recently released in a limited time promotion for Madden Ultimate Team, and likely his inclusion in this screenshot is some sort of indicator of progress on that mode.

Bottom line, you're entitled to your opinion, sure, but I don't think yours is a fair one.

And did you honestly expect the game to look radically different?
 
# 155 DaveDQ @ 03/22/11 02:44 PM
I always think of this when teaser videos are released...

What were you expecting? Seriously... what were you expecting?
 
# 157 NoTiCe_O @ 03/22/11 02:55 PM
I think the section of the players feet running on the feild is showcasing the grass not foot planting.

If you look closely you can see some blades of grass get torn up and tossed after the players cleats go into it.

Looks like cut grass flying into the air

That stadium shot was a over stadium view of super bowl it read Packers and Steelers in the endzones. I'm telling you the first field goal was blocked and feel under the uprights

Wow, you must have seen a lot more of the video than I could make out.

I really can't tell if it's the best or worst Madden ever yet but apparently some of you guys can.

I'm really excited about player tendencies being included. Could really change the game.
