New Madden 360 Trailer @ GameSpot

No new animations, super quick jerky juke moves, and defensive linemen bouncing off of willie parker? Disgusting.

The funny thing is you co-signed this completely inaccurate rendition of events.


1. No new animations - Hmmm...must be blind

2. Jerky, quick Moves - Sounds like more of a complaint for people who simply prefer 2k...Thats just preference. Ut for the record RB's and offensive players are quick and make quick moves

3. DL Bouncing off of Willie Parker - Please go back and look at the video..You may want to actually watch it this time. Here is a TIP tho...It wasn't a DL

People are entirely entitled to their opinions and in this particular case there will be many..But to actually even insinuate half the things you have and compare the game to 2k4 is just..Well stupid..But whatever..Its your opinion..very few will share it and the good part is you won't buy the game and you'll save yourself $60..You'll also have more free time determine what other threads you can weasle in on and complain about games and titles you have no interest in from the git go...Its very obvious what guys like you are up to and its pretty weird and pathetic.

When everyone is playing next-gen football on their HD TV's with drop-dead gorgeous visuals, we'll see if you're really "thanking God" you saved your cash.



BTW, if you're concerned with saving cash, switch to Geico.

Me too. Just re-submitted an order for the game from BestBuy.com. These vids are enough to take a chance.

They seem to have cleaned up some of the jerky animations, but they're still there.

All the player vs player interactions still look prescripted and horrid. In some of the shots you can almost see that even though they don't even touch players fall over. The wrap tackles look crappy as well...

I also highly doubt that the commentary is like this in game.

2 reasons:

1. There is nothing special about the audio and it doesn't require anything special to run, which means that all current and previous systems could run audio like that.

2. Having commentary like that would mean that there should be a lot of audio data on the disc. Given that x360 only uses normal dvds still and the fact that they're using a lot larger textures and sprites to support the HDTV which also takes up extra space I highly doubt they'd be able to stuff specific commentary like that onto a normal dvd.

LMAO @ the McNabb video. It's like they tried to recreate the 'fake' video they released earlier in the year w/ McNabb and Strahan. The one that wasn't gonna even be as good as the real thing. For fun you should watch those two consecutively.

The RB one was ok, but still I'm just not feeling any of this. It's like I have to force myself to find something cool. For $60 I don't wanna force myself to like it.

I agree with you 100% Jistic. I too have been VERY critical of Madden 360, and while I must admit these new videos do look good, and show a very positive step in the right direction, I still am a bit underwhelmed. Maybe it's because EA just refuses to show any EXTENDED gameplay footage, instead of these prescripted trailers that we keep getting. The game is shaping up to be alot better than it was looking in the BK videos, but I would really like to see a good 5 or 10 minutes of nothing but in-game play from and UPDATED build, so that we can really see what we will be buying.

I'm kind of doing the same thing as far as trying to find reasons to justify possibly purchasing this game (like the fact that it's the ONLY football game out there), and I don't want to do that. Like I said, if EA would release some more extended gameplay footage, then I could really determine whether: Yes I like what I see and I think that I'll pick it up, or NO this still looks like crap and not worth my $60.00. Just looking at the graphics in these videos is not enough right now to justify buying the game. Hopefully EA will release something soon that will show off a near finished product gameplay wise, so that I can use it help make some sort of determination on whether it is worth buying or not.

Good post, BigAnt. Pretty much the same way I feel.
