There were pretty amazing details shown, crowd looked alive, tackling looked pretty good (gang tackle there that wasn't a hug a la pro tak). I can't wait to see more.

I completely agree, obviously wait until we see more. But this looks very encouraging, I also think graphics are a BIG part of the experience so I am pleased.

Let's call it 'Beta Block 2.0', yes, that's it" DM: "Get the engineers on the horn. Did they fix that rain problem in Cleveland yet? Ok, we can package that as TWO new features"

HAHAHAH SO TRUE

Actual game play and replay views of game play must be the same thing to EA (but not to me). That said, I think I can get by with the PS3 version this year...but I do not fear next gen is going to suck right away like last time.

something else that bothered me was the player models still look off, they still cant get sleeves right and the 49ers metallic gold helmets are not properly represented. its still that flat tan colour instead. in all seriousness, even though thats nothing to do with gameplay, it says a whole lot about this dev team. if they cant get a helmet colour correct and they cant make sleeves look anything like they do in real life, what hope do we really have for a realistic game of football?

The locomotion looks a lot better but in Madden and even in the fifa stuff you can still see the feet sliding which is odd for this lifelike player movement they are selling, also I still saw the same canned animation blocks getting sucked together, nothing organic.

Not to mention the post td celebration is people just clapping and the same hands up animations we have had since Madden 07.

This looks just like a port over to me from what I have seen.

I'm on board with the positive and skeptic comments in this thread, but I can't jive with a "ratings don't matter" comment based one play LOL.

Even if Alfred Morris is an average pass blocker, it's not unrealistic for him to step up and make a play. He may get rolled over the very next play -- that's the beauty of football.

Massive post. Hope I don't freeze any computers.
