When will we be able to make a Madden video like this?

Off topic a bit since it's basketball, but note all the fundamentals being talked about. Da Czar is breaking down plays, how they're defended, why they work or don't, ect. When will Madden get to this level of realism?

IMO, the football equivelent of this vid would talk about DB shading, route combinations, coverages, gap assignments, contain, why a WR got open or didn't, what the QB read, ect. And it would all be football related.

We'll get a game like that when 2K buys the NFL license and the Backbreaker engine.

Its pretty close to that now with Locomotion, I don't see many defying physic plays in Madden this year. Only thing thats missing is gang tackling.

That is precisely where the physics engine comes in.

Never.
At best Madden is made somewhere between sim and arcade and the things you are saying would only ever be in a sim game.

Ok, I'm gonna move this to the football other forum...that way you guys can discuss all the different football games without being warned/banned. Trust me, I'm helping ya out here. And BezO, I feel your pain man...

Never Madden is a arcade game with real players.High scores,big plays and no D.

I wanted this to be a Madden thread. Since it's been moved, I'll keep it short.

Really? IMO, Madden is nothing like this. We definitely see Madden differently.

IMO, Madden has little to do with football. For example, in that 2K vid, players have assignments and react like I'd expect an NBA player to react. In Madden, despite EVERY NFL defense being based on gap/contain responsibility, there's no gap responsibility in the game. And only a few defenses have a defender with contain responsibility even though every NFL defense has someone with that responsibility. This is fundamental stuff that is missing. What Madden bases their defense on is beyond me, but it's nothing like an NFL defense.
