Madden NFL 12 Videos - Gameplay From ESPN First Take

[Thinking Out Loud]

What little bit I saw, I liked. Liked the intro presentation and the co-op tackle.

OnlyLt and Bezo, are you guys sure you have seen that type of co-op tackle in Madden 11? I am asking because I can not honestly recall ever seeing a co-op tackle like that in Madden 11 and tackling is one of my biggest issues with that game. I agree with OnlyLT that it's a protak tackle but going back and looking at this versuz youtube video, it seems slightly modified from last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kivw9wVfD1E

Doesn't seem like the "suction" is occurring to halt the ball carriers forward momentum. Could just be happening on this specific protak tackle or could be because of the new collision system. Guess we will know more Thursday.

I don't think that was M12. That looked just like 11 to me...

They need to add a new scramble running animation, it looks off.
It looks too herky jerky.

But besides that, the player models look much better than last year.

at the end vick does the hillis touchdown celebration do the cover athlete do the motion capture

Still a little herky jerky. But does show some improvement. I was waiting for the DB to morph in front of the ball or the WR to morph further to get it, but it didn't happen. Tackle looked good too. Wasn't a true consecutive hit tackle but didn't notice any suction.

It would be brutal if a Madden dev says the intro was from Madden 12 but the gameplay is Madden 11.

Sure would make my earlier post sound mighty silly. LOL!

I've seen that "type" of tackle before on Madden 10. It was nothing new, but that wasn't really my point. My only point was that it wasn't a "consecutive hit" tackle. The defenders both latched onto the ball carrier at the same time. That was a typical Pro-tak type 2man gang hu... I mean tackle lol.

A "consecutive hit tackle would be one after the other where you see the effect that both hits or wrap up, or what ever, has on the runner. There is little doubt in my mind that if a 3rd defender were foolish enough to try and add on to that tackle that he would have been dropped like a $3 bill.

Whether there was any suction on that or not, I can't tell. Maybe there wasn't. Like I said, my point wasn't really that I have seen that particular tackle, or play previously, although I'm pretty sure I have. My point was simply that whether that was a new tackle scenario or an old one, it wasn't a "consecutive hit" tackle. That's all.

To me, I could care less what the terminology is.(no offense)

I just didn't see it enough in years past.
