Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

Game looks pretty good. Just hope that they add more replays, and a broadcast cam (at least for cpu games) makes the final cut.

Finally.... it looks like Madden is headed in the right direction.

Which 2k? 2k5??? I don't think so....maybe next year!

Also, have you PLAYED the game? I know I haven't, thus my "thinking" rather than trying to state my opinion as factual.

all of the 2k games are not as good as this madden...i dont need to play the game to see the improvements.

there are certain people in the gaming community who's opinion i trust. on that note, i know i will like the game

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

You guys are really going to be screaming when 2k4 run totals start tallying up on your a$$.

geez.....i remember that now

i feel like (based on viewing only of course) that this game is along the lines of 2k3/2k4......."almost but not quite there".

still better than any other NG madden though

The 2K/Madden war in this thread stops now. If you want to make a constructive comparison to a specific area of each game, so be it. "Game A blows Game B out of the water" or "Game A sucks, Game B rules" will not be tolerated.

Yeah! My boy flacco got some commentary

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

I assumed the players would cut, hesitate, and stumble when changing direction.

They don't do that.

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

Anyway...

Ian, thanks for the videos. I have my own set of concerns, but they've been covered by more knowledgeable guys than myself, so there's no sense rehashing them point by point. The bright side is, the improvements are definitely noticeable.

Any chance for an All-Madden vid, or at least maybe one on normal game speed? I'd just like to see some better examples of a pocket collapsing.

Also, as a sidebar...

I agree with something Skyboxer (I think) said much earlier. It's not that we are necessarily overreacting (most of us anyway), it's just that often times when we mention an issue we have, you respond with something to the effect of " but I just had a ___ happen in some games I played..." or something to that effect. We just want to see this balance too, is all.

Some of these issues have cropped up in nearly every video, and we have CD guys voicing their concerns on it as well...and they've actually played the game. It's not "hitting the panic button" for most of us, as much as it is legit concern...especially when you comment that you aren't noticing these things.

Just my two cents...in no way am I implying that you and your team have done a poor job. As I said, improvement is evident. Also, I'm grateful for the effort you put in to keep us up to speed and the honesty in which you do so. Some of us just want to ensure we'll be seeing a better balanced game come release. That's it.

Peace.

EDIT: one more thing, to focus on a more positive aspect, I continue to be impressed with the presentational improvements made in just one cycle. It's a far cry from the very dry appearance 09 gave off, IMO.

I did note that Ray Lewis had R. Lewis and no other players had their initials, good job catching that

Also the crowd noise is spectacular, I would like to see someone else though in the fan cut scene before third down instead of the guy with the defense sign everytime.

Pro tak is still looking pretty darn good Im not entirely sure about Hope and Williams getting caught in a stalemate though when Williams is going for the ball and Hope is comming for him at full speed, Williams should of gotten popped.

Cut scenes are looking good and showing often nice touches here, not so sure about showing the offenses qb on the phone though right before he comes to the line for the 1st down snap.

Um, 4th video. 4:54 mark. 2nd and goal, Collins incomplete pass out of the back of the endzone....why does the game clock run after that play?

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

I like what I see. Good stuff.

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

Almost forgot to add, I LOVED that the CPU went deep several times even though it didn't work out too well.

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

Why is Chris Johnson rated so high 88 what did he do to be rated that high rush for a 1000 yards? And how come Ledale White is rated a 79? I thought he had a good year last year?

Thats nothing

What about Forte for the bears? What is his rating. Steve Slaton.

Everything looks great so far. Just those running Animations needs to be fixed.

Why after every tackle the players are on the floor sliding? Can somebody Answer that?

Am i the only on seeing that?

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

A bug by the Madden Team's definition, as told to me by Ian himself- "Anything that needs to be fixed."

I don't have my official Madden Team Dictionary with me but I agree with what LBzrule is saying regarding containment, etc.

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

This game looks fake, like a cartoon.

In my honest opinion you need to get rid of the entire running animation system, it just does not look realistic.
Players cut on a dime, slide their feet, swing their arms to wide, etc. etc.... I have no idea in the world how anyone can like the way these players move it looks horrible.


Like how can you look at this game and say it looks realistic? Madden has had 4 years on next gen & this is still what they bring to the table?


Ian Cummings you want a better realistic football, spend the WHOLE year working on animations for Madden 11. Sure you have great presentation & everything else but once the players start moving on the field it looks unrealistic.


Have you ever played Nba 2k9? For the most part it looks like a real Basketball game, 2k sports to me has always had some of the best animations. It's a true shame that their is only one football game out rite now every year.
I'm a die hard football fan & I must say this game just does not look real.....

I pray the Ea license gets destroyed so more Pro football games can be made!

The momentum and physics looks great. You seem like an EA ***** to me based on the latter of your post.

Re: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) full gameplay in HD

This footage almost has me thinking midnight release. If the Offline Franchise Blog gives me what I want to hear on Monday I will be sold.

Considering this footage is Alpha I am rather excited as well.

Note - This type of footage is much more telling than trailers with alt-rock music and fancy camera angles.
