Madden NFL 18 Video - Falcons vs. Patriots Super Bowl Rematch (Kspadetheprospect)

It looks awesome. The warm lighting coming through the atrium is gorgeous. Love the grey that you can now see in Dan Quinn's goatee.

I mentioned it in the other thread but I love the way the hair moves during the play. It looks like each individual lock is moving on it's own vs the stiff faux movement of last year.

Player models look good and nicely proportioned. I can get a sense of just how big a receiver Sanu is. Really liked the zig route he runs at 1:22, but his feet are a little too wide apart as he chops it down and I hate the dropback animations of Ryan. He looks all humped over when in reality he stands tall as he drops.

Nice inside move by Alan Branch for the sack @1:37.

@2:25 - I like was the playside linebacker Campbell does with the stretch, even though he gets caught up in traffic. He's reacting earlier than the LB's last year, but what the heck is #45 Jones doing? It's a stretch play. He's supposed to be on his horse getting outside. Instead he pressed the A Gap like it's a dive play.

Overall, meh... I still hate the throwing mechanics. Didn't see a whole lot from the pass rush but I also didn't see any of the coaching adjustments used so...

Wow, that was very underwhelming. Ditto what others said, AI QB play is still god awful. And that was All-Pro Sim?

It's clear as day at this point. Only thing we can do is speak with our wallets. It'll be a year of 2k for me.

I was really hoping for authentic QB throwing animations, but it looks like it's the same as Madden 17.

The lighting did look great though!!

Looks nice, but plays like generic boring Madden football. Nothing here to convince me to buy it.

The game look OK. I wish there were somme 4K content on tube.

Now I see why we are just now getting gameplay. They spent the entire year working on lighting

As others have mentioned the CPU QB AI is not very good. Literally just stands there behind the line of scrimmage and takes multiple sacks. The game itself looks great visually (honestly, one year they should just leave the grpahics alone and focus on something else). Sidelines still look bad though (thought frostbite was supposed to help with this)

this is the first video i saw and it is a bit disappointing especially, since it is on SIM.

Forgot who mentioned it , but with the way the CPU QB acts and the lack of CFM improvements it looks as Madden is heading down the H2H focus.
