Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Dynamic Player Performance Sizzle Trailer

I didn't want to be "that guy" again... but THIS! A thousand times THIS!

Thumbs up, thank you, +1, QFT, what ever.

Tired of the ice skating, the choppy movement, and how blatantly canned the animations look.

I am very excited about the off-the-field improvements. I really am. It's just... it's just like 5 years too late and the game play still looks poor. :Sigh:

And I hate to be that guy again, (post above yours) but a lot of people are saying this thread the animations are better, even the person you just quoted.

Yea I agree. I wasn't too impressed. Animations or movements of players look eh.

I agree with both kjcheezhead and PGaither84 on this one. Off the field improvements sounds great and the game does look good when viewed in screenshots, but the videos, even the one you're linking too, doesn't impress me at all. I find them discouraging, because they're showing the same issues that people have been complaining about for years.

And when EA's PR division (who'll do everything to prevent the game from looking bad) cannot make videos better looking than this, then I'm not impressed.

Surprized, Guaps, I really am.

Even hard core Madden folks who have hammered Madden in the past, have slightly praised the animations in the thread I'm linking.

Also, a developer mentioned this video is severely out of date, but that keeps getting ignored as well.

I'm not that impressed with this video, but I can tell a difference in the one I linked.

Even KJ made a post in that thread and stated the animations looked better than this one??

To each their own.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Dynamic Player Performance Sizzle Trailer

Just to throw it out there... this is the FIRST video I was shown when I got here, so the graphics in it are severely out of date.

I'm glad you said it AJ cuz I have been biting my tongue because.I know I would have.been crucified on here for telling them. I have honestly never seen such nit picking in my entire life. The. Video is old, it is to shown off dPP an# thats it. You people waiting for the demo to make the call.... Good luck the demo has probably already been submitted to Sony and Mircosoft and guess what? They are still working on the game. So what you see on the demo is a general reference only and not a direct representation of the game... Just like last year.

Hehe, surprised indeed

I'm just referring to the fact that not all hardcore fans are swept away by these videos, even if developers keep telling us that it's outdated, because the fact of the matter is that it's always outdate. The build at e3 will be outdated, and when people try the demo it will be outdated too.

I guess what PGaither84 and others (me included) are trying to express is that these issues have been in the game for years and it annoys us.

And yes, KJ said the linked video 'at least looked better' and I agree with that, but that's not saying that you're impressed.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Dynamic Player Performance Sizzle Trailer

Strange that they would put this video out, with out of date player models and voiced-over commentary.

[Philliezfinest]

The commentary sounds great if that is how it is during the actual game mane dat would b great

I understand what you're saying but at the same time, EA chose to the release the video at this point in time, not us. Maybe they should have thought about having the video with more recent animations and not a few months old. They could have had Gus' voice and what he sounds like in the actual madden game instead of a voice over. It's because of EA's decisions on what went into this video that is getting criticism. I wouldn't blame that on anyone but EA.

I think the problem lies in the fact that we are also watching vids like these: http://www.ea.com/soccer/videos/fifa...BN6YdZB8bhz35s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2673ZHGK_Q

So while the point could be made that Madden has to viewed in a stand alone manner, or along side NCAA, the point is also valid that it looks like it's still not up to the point of being "wow" worthy. Now I do have a hard time believing that Madden will get up to the above level in the remaing cycle time. Old build or not. This isn't a "meh" or "that sucks!" from me. It's more about whether or not I can overlook the shortcomings that are and have been evident in this series for some time. It's about if I love playing a football game enough to cast a blind eye.

I loved NCAA, played it a bunch until Nov. Then both Fifa and NBA2k came out. Didn't buy Madden at all. Here's the problem. As soon as I really got into both, NCAA became a coaster. Permanently. This from a pretty rabid Michigan fan. Game just lost it's gleam in light of not one, but two, clearly superior games. Not having last years Madden never even caused a pang of regret. I still love football IRL, but the videogame version is really starting to lose it's grip on me. No more Gamestop at midnight, it's not a good enough, or should I say fresh enough, game to warrant it. Until an updated animation/locomotion engine and some really good physics are implemented, I'll be compelled to look at this game as a Christmas money purchase. And normally by then any compulsiveness is gone. I'm waiting for two patches and reading all the feedback before I take the plunge. That after 7 staight years of Day one buy.Just saying......
