Wow, this small clip looks better than any of the trailers we've seen.

I'll tell you one thing, if Madden 15 is amazing, I'll be pretty disappointed that the NCAA series was cancelled.

If not, oh well

REAL TALK!!!!! It bothers me when people say that posters on OS have ridiculous expectations. What we want has for the most part been done already! Tiburon has had every blueprint they could ever ask for. They really need to swallow their pride, buy a copy of APF, study it, and improve on it. I don't want an NFL version of APF, I want something that will totally dump on it, and that's what Tiburon should want and try to achieve as well.

To be fair, Ian mentioned their team played and studied 2K5 when they developed M10.

But I see your point as far as gameplay goes.

EA has far too much unwarranted pride to go down that route. They will never admit that APF2K8 was a superior product, even though any rational football fan knows that it was.

They strive to do things their way, or no way at all. Just look at the god damn presentation. Instead of just copying CBS presentation, or NFL network presentation, or hell, ESPN presentation, they want to go their own route with ridiculous cutscenes, barely any stat overlays, lame replay camera angles, and players being stagnant after a play that doesn't involve a cutscene.

They can never admit that they're just not good at doing things their way, they will never admit that someone did it better. As soon as they pop that inflated big head of theirs, then MAYBE we'll start to see some improvement.

It's like they experiment with things every year, and we're the guinea pigs. Once they realize it didn't work, or the majority didn't like the direction, they stop, and start to experiment all over again. Yeah, they should study better games, they should copy TV style presentation, but according to EA, no one does it better than them.

I was just about to say that. Hopefully the same thing is happening with the new guys.

I can confirm this. I'll also say that I hear that they STILL couldn't figure out how VC did some of what they did.

In the end, ALL I've ever wanted Madden to do in the previous generation was what was already being done. And they were SUCH small, obtainable goals that they just refused to care about. I like the promise of the Infinity Engine. But I never asked for that BEFORE giving me more dynamic line interactions. Realistic ball flight dynamics. Fronts and overages. REAL zone coverage concepts. Stuff that VC was doing in NFL 2K FRIGGIN 3!!!!
