Madden looks good IMO. Whether or not these new ideas will succeed or not who knows, but one thing is for sure, EA has already got people believing and that will make their marketing campaign that much easier. Hell I know I'm definately going to be playing a game with that idea for defense, i.e., hit stick. Never saw that one coming. Unfortunately I now do believe that Ray Lewis will be the cover athelete. Too many defensive changes and focus on defense

I too believe Lewis is a definite possibility for the cover. Risky, in terms of image issues for EA IMO, but now that info and videos are coming, the coverboy has become so much less of an interest.

Kanobi,

What do you think of the news about Madden2005 (i.e. the article on IGN?)?

Sounds very good....especially the new AI elements and defensive coverage audibles. However, Jon Robinson tends to make all EA Sports titles sound like the second coming

But I've learned to kinda screen out all his fluff. Also, The Vid of the Hit Stick anims looked pretty cool to.

Thanks for pointing me to the NCAA videos! I was so caught up in Madden I didn't notice. I too would REALLY love to see the head tracking, and the db characteristics of NCAA 2004 implemented in Madden 2005.

Yeah but if you believe in that cover boy curse and you like the Ravens, then you don't like this. I gotta say at this point though, I've been impressed with ALMOST every screen and the media and info that EA has released thus far. They did a really nice job, just looking at the Ravens in that vid, they did a hell of a job for M & T Bank from a year a go. Last year in Madden 2004 it was like you were playing in the forest. You couldn't see a damn thing. The lighting is MUCH better this time. If it goes Xbox Live ...

I can't wait for both NcAA and Madden this year, especially NCAA...it seems to improve massivly each installment. With these 2 great football games coming each year, how does anyone else keep up? Sega! I feel sorry for em really.

Looking good. I really dig the score clock graphics for both Madden and NCAA this year. Minor thing, but it looks good.
