Madden NFL 12 Videos - Virtual Playbook Gameplay and Presentation

I like the videos. (They need to kill the sliding.)

Looks like the same ol' Madden to me. No warping is cool, but there's still a high amount of sliding going on. It's still the same canned animations. They just trigger later in the frame. This isn't anything groundbreaking, in fact this should have been done years ago. I guess this is what we're gonna get until a new generation of consoles comes out and physics based momentum and animations are standard.

It's just always bothered me that Madden feels so out of place as far as animations, natural movement and realism goes. The players still look too stocky. When the Madden guys are on the virtual playbook field and standing next to the in-game models they are vastly smaller in size. Something just has never seemed right to me with the player models in Madden.

I think the videos looked good, it got me hyped.
Especially the eagles-giants clip in the gameplay video.
I got hyped after I saw Desean Jackson got lit up and dropped the ball.

My only issue like most others have already said, they need to tone down the skating on sidestepping.

Everything looked good accept for the juking, seems like the rb's are moving superfast and skating NHL style by the defenders.

the sliding looks worse than the previous years IMO....no 3d grass is going to help this lack of foot planting. it feels as if there is no connection between the field itself and the players and thats why its gonna be another year of disney on ice.

Is it just me or did the eagles/giants gameplay in the presentation video seem speed up??

I really think this is gonna be a good year of EA football and i'm looking forward to Madden 12 more than any other madden since 04.

But for Madden 13 this foot planting has to be fixed, it just looks terrible

You should definitely not get this game. Actually, you should forget it exists. That way, you will not have to worry about anything Madden...and I will not have to read your complaints on the Madden boards. Silly me, I forgot the ignore option. Done.
