This just in - Madden WILL have online co-op. That was the big announcement on GT TV's E3 pre-show, as said by Phil Frazier

i dont enjoy playing online so i dont really care about that and i never did enjoy co-op because i like to have control over my team instead of having someone else have to make plays but thats cool for those who do play online and will enjoy this. I know this will bring online play to a whole new level for those that use it so thats good news for those people.

First, advertising on the coin toss. I hate that, it's not part of the game, and it's an immediate turn off for me when I fire up Madden. If a person pays for a product, they shouldn't have to suffer through blatant advertising. Use the advertising that fits the game, don't alter/ruin the gaming experience to get an extra ad up there. That's not 'in the game'. I still haven't bought a snickers bar going on 2 years later due the snickers advertising in Madden '08 on the PSP.

Don't have time to dissect the game play tonight, the presentation looks better, but the announcers seem the same as last year.

One big disappointment for me after seeing more game play is that it doesn't look like Route Based passing is in the game. That feature alone (from APF2K8) has ruined other football games for me. Without it, I don't think I will be able to enjoy the game. Passing is half the game, and I won't be able to enjoy the passing game without it.

Dallas defenders pretty much didn't care about the created turnover?

Nice Find!! but, I DOnt know about madden.. It looks good but. doesnt look realistic just yet.. It still looks like madden..

Looking good!

but I don't like how you have to tap Y to recover a fumble. I hope we can turn this off and have the AI decide.

No worries.

I believe Ian confirmed this when pile up's were officially announced.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

The thing is, I dont blame Ian exclusively for anything. He seems like a good guy, and that he is trying best with what he is given and with how little time he has. This has just been brewing in me for the past few years, and I just cant deal with it anymore.

I may kill myself if the final product isnt a great sim.

Wow, dude you need to find a hobby or seek help. There's more to life than football games, I promise.

Did you think before you typed that? Or must I really ask, what did you expect it to look like?

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

Downloaded the free QT version. That soothed a lot of framerate fears. But there's just the general sense of "band-aids" that pervaded the vid for me. I can see what they've really worked on, but it just brings out the huge flaws in the gameplay that have always made the game "meh" for me. The decision not to add better locomotion just makes the game seem so stiff. But I have watched the vid a few times and can see the differences, they just aren't overwhelming. Maybe Hammond just sets kind of a generic/blah mood. I will say I like the run blocking on the handoff to Westbrook. The PA fake by McFlabb is bad. He's too upright. No hard fake to it. But I have to digress for a second. I'm watching it as I type with my headphones on watching the Cavs game in PiP and you know what? I can really enjoy this vid a lot more with no audio. The audio is really killing it for me. Hammond especially. Sad how much a bad audio presentation can kill the mood... Turned that off and can see the game's plusses a lot better.

With some line play tuning and maybe some rounding off of routes to give it a more organic feel, I could see myself just turning off all the commentary and going with stadium announcers. A lot of the gameplay stuff I can't really judge, especially with the crappy human play. But I'm really digging all of the other presentation outside of Hammond, and the more I watch without him, the more I can see there is some good things going on. A foundation to build on...... BTW this is after watching this clip about 20 times. I don't know... Come on E3!!!!

I like this part "I can see there is some good things going on. A foundation to build on"

To build on? TO BUILD ON?!?! For the love of God man! EA has been "BUILDING" this game for 20 years!!

WHEN are they going to get there?

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

Why do so many people ASSUME all these issues will be fixed?? EA's track record of NOT fixing these issues is well documented, so to say "we're sure they'll fix this" is outrageous!!

There were several things in this video I found disturbing, given all the hype Ian has layed on us about "if you see it on Sunday.....". The game STILL lacks emotion, IMO. The commentators sounded worse than last year, really. As other already pointed out, the coin toss will get boring after a couple games if it's always the same sponsor....the 2 guys doing the synchronized dancing before the kickoff really sucked the realism out of that moment.

The generic references to Williams are more of the same we had last year where they rarely used a players name. The pile-up after the fumble looked more like a game of buck-buck with the lineman doing the WWE style dive at the pile.

The refs signalled posession the wrong direction, and the wrong team celebrated.....these are all taken from a very short (and strongly edited) clip of gameplay. If we're seeing THIS many issues in that short a time, I am concerned!!

Overall, color me un-impressed! The game STILL looks like Madden as in past years....and it just doesn't look like what we've been told to expect.

why assume that these issues wont be fixed???? If they wont be fixed IN YOUR OPINION then whats the point of whining about it???

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

FYI - crowd noise was 100% broken in the build those guys used to capture this video.

It's crazy, this video is about 2 weeks old and it already looks totally out of date to me because of all the recent changes we've been making to gameplay. It still is a good showcase of many of the things you guys should expect to see.

Good. So there's hope for flack jackets and a much better pocket.

The pocket needs to be MUCH tighter. It's a claustrophobic place to be and the game should reflect that.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

love how i goes to cut scene after a tackle...i'm gettin excited people....shes lookin good

I like the cutscenes too, but like someone else noted, they go to the cutscenes way too early during a tackle. They need to let the play end fully first.

I thought the video looked good, not great..seemed edited way too much to get a true feel of the game. I'll save my judgement 'til I see more during E3.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

Looks awesome, can't wait for August.

What happens in August?
