Hmm, but you were in the NCAA thread right? They showed the DB shuffling at normal speed and it was extremely noticeable in that game.

Sure, that's NCAA and we're talking about Madden, but there's no reason to believe it's different. They look very similar in slow motion, so Madden should look very similar to NCAA in regular speed.

Yes that was. I was talking about the suction on tackles. Sorry if I was't clear, Im pretty tired.

He was talking about the suctioning of tackles not the shuffling.

Wow... the more of Madden 12 I see, the less interested I become. Looks like many of the things that has bugged me is still in the game. And why can't they fix the locomotion? Player movement still looks way off.

Those broadcast cameras of the Eagles have my toes tingling.

That shot of the FG was truly amazing. Also the D.Jax reception.


I can't wait to see how the various stadium broadcast camera angles (over a 100 according to the previews) are implemented into the overall gameplay and presentation.

Madden 12 is shaping up to be the definitive signature version of this game. And if May 16th is as good as I think it will be I know I will never talk about Madden 05 and 07 ever again.


You can see and hear the commitment these guys have. They love what they are doing and are going to great lengths to be as authentic as they can with the presentation camera work. I know we are all very curious about the play by play and overall presentation in franchise mode as well.

Fingers crossed.

We are listening. We had a bug that caused the numbers in game to be a different scale in game then in our art tool (Shipped in Madden 11). Over the past two weeks our team art lead has been addressing all the number scale issues. Plus these videos were finished a couple weeks ago.

Good videos especially the camera work BUT DAMN at the player ice skating. Where is the foot planting? PS2/XBOX versions of Madden had better foot planting and that was on inferior hardware.

I want to thank Michael Young for responding. It takes some gumption to step in front of the firing squad.
I too am looking forward to the release date. I am wondering if it's possible that we could see things in franchise that had been there in the past (especially old gen). If not, why not? I'm no game designer, but to the laymen it seems that if it was done once, it could be done again with little or no trouble. Others feel the same way. Are we wrong about that? Is there something that makes it very difficult to keep all those features?
