I'm surprised not to have read any posts regarding the absolutely unacceptable quality of huddle/sideline animations in Madden.
Players heads snap from pose to pose like a nervous bird on crack. Most of the pre-play animations are so jittery that they make my neck sore.
More to the point they give the entire game a nervous, stuttery feel.
As a company that hires animation professionals, I cannot fathom how the animations can be so broken. A first year animation student can key frame those poses smoothly.
Although the animation on the field is much better, even it seems slightly off - as if it were running on a pc that can't quite keep up.
The overall effect of this is a game that feels unpolished and incomplete.
I admire what the Madden team is attempting to do. I really wanted to buy this one - but something seems terribly wrong here.
NCAA felt much more like a smooth and finished product.
