Clean and uncut version. User controlling Giants vs. CPU Cowboys in Play Now Mode on All Madden. Some of my impressions after watching thru it once:

⦁ CPU establishing running game.

⦁ Loved the pushed pocket sack by Cowboys late in 2nd. Animation not great, but realistic result.

⦁ Outstanding sack animation on sack at end of half by D-Law.

⦁ Nice camera work on PA. Not as overdone as I felt it was before.

⦁ I like how big hits from the secondary force incompletions.

⦁ Really impressive how Swaim stayed in bounds on deep strike for TD. I thought for sure he would be going out of bounds.

⦁ Cover 3 buzz press play art is incorrect as it shows SS in deep middle instead of FS. However, the coverage plays correctly. This has been the case in past Maddens.

⦁ CPU QB throwing behind receivers quite a bit. Screen to Zeke early in 2nd quarter could have gone for a score had the pass been accurate. Maybe Dak's rating?

⦁ Tackle sounds are very pronounced and appear reflective of a car crash. Wouldn't mind it for hit stick style tackles, but overdone for my taste. Thankfully, there are sounds on the field audio sliders.

⦁ Terrible CPU awareness shown by Jeff Heath towards end of 2nd with no reaction to ball whatsoever. Looked scripted, as CPU coverage was generally very good.

⦁ CPU QB not attacking with throws downfield, nor throwing very often to the WR's until late in the game. While Dallas heavily relies on Zeke, they do throw more than reflected here.

ai cpu running look better as Cowboys when Zeke run the ball

Much smoother than the Beta.

Power vs Speed is noticeably more visible.
- that Zeke hit and bounce off
- T. Austin hitting that corner

M19 looking so much better.
Can’t wait!!!

Geez I can't get past how bad the lighting is this year. The sun beaming through looks good like it did last year, but overall the game is just too dark and harsh for me. I loved last year. Still waiting to see how the retail looks on my TV, but Madden 18 was damn near photorealistic at times. Definitely disappointed at that aspect.

Still seeing some "small helmet syndrome" going on. Saquan Barkley, for example. And in a pats-Eagles video released today, Corey Clement's helmet hardly fits over his head...

This is the first video i have seen that makes me consider getting the game this year. Looks pretty good!
