Maybe I am reading too much into the phrasing, but it looks like Battlefield 4 and Need for Speed Rivals will be playable but not the sports titles?

The sports games might not be far enough into the development for people play it yet. BF4 and NFS might much more a head and ready for the public. Who knows right now.

True, hopefully we at least get to see a demo during the conference for Madden.

From what they are saying. It sounds like we will get to see the gameplay for all the games on that list. Crossing my fingers at this point. Hoping it ain't Madden06 all over again.

Yep. I will be tuning in big time. I just hope the game ain't disappointing.

Well, if they are going to show actual gameplay then this will be the biggest day as far as football gaming goes in the last 8 years for most of us.

Personally, I could care less about the graphics. It will be nice to see the living sideline. However I will be looking at three main things..

1. Locomotion/Footplanting/Running Animations- This should be 100% noticeable right out of the gate, and we really need a complete 180 from what we had this generation. They are touting this as a top feature of this engine, and to be quite honest, it has to be! (FOR EVERY PLAYER ON THE FIELD, NOT JUST THE BALL CARRIER)

2. Animation Engine- This should be another that should stick out pretty quickly. I dont want to see all this herky jerky, odd looking animations on every play like we currently have this generation. It is very obvious that they have had some serious issues with their animation engine this gen. Just pick up and play EA's own NHL or FIFA, or NBA 2k and see how much more smooth the game play is. (Heck pop in Madden 05 for PS2 and that is much smoother)


3. Player Interaction- Whether it be OL/DL or DB/WR. I want to see real player interaction like FIFA's josteling system. No more of these patty cake (suction) blocking animations, or DB morphing through WR's. We need true player interaction like just about every other sports game has.

Quite honestly, I am hoping this next-gen Madden looks nothing like this generation of Madden. For the reasons that we have all been talking about the last 8 years. I really hope this Madden team has been hard at work on this new game engine...

EDIT: If there is audio, I am also interested in CROWD ATMOSPHERE. This has been severely lacking this generation and it is something they are touting as a top feature of the new engine. They really need to bring the stadium to life and suck us into the experience. IMO, the #1 thing they can do from a presentation standpoint for immersion is make the stadium come alive, and the crowd to sound, react, and swell like a real crowd. They need to act appropriately to everything happening on the field.

ch46647 You have a great list, it will be interesting to see what the EA SPORTS IGNITE engine is capable of.

I agree on the audio comment, although we probably won't hear much if they do show off a demo.

Personally, I don't think they can have the crowd volume loud enough. One day I hope we can get it so loud that I have to turn down my television. I have been to 40+ games at Soldier Field and there is nothing better than a ear piercing crowd going crazy after a big play.

Grady. One of my most love actors from the good old days of TV sitcoms. Played on Sanford and Son.

100% co-sign. Been saying this for years. I was shocked, and very happy that EA has made stadium atmosphere at top 3 main selling point to their engine. I am really hoping they are blowing it out of the water with stadium presentation.

Just ask yourself, how exciting would NFL games be if stadiums were empty or nobody was cheering? (Or any sports event for that matter)

Stadium atmosphere is 80% of the experience, if not more.

Going to be honest. With all of the disc space and ram the next Gen consoles will have. EA no longer has any excuses not to make Madden good as possible. Yes it will have glitches and bugs. But which game doesn't. But when it comes to presentation or graphics and even gameplay. EA should have more then enough room on the next Gen game discs to get the job done. Blu Ray discs that is. So they should be able to get it done this coming Gen. consoles.

Re: Madden25 next gen to be showed June10.

It would also be nice if they could add ball physics to Madden. They have it in NHL and FIFA. It would make the game look and play so much more organic. I would love to see the day a DB bats the ball and it floats in the air and we can manually grab a player and try to track it down for an interception.

As it stands now, the ball would go like a magnet right into the ground. Or fly off is some direction one way or the other and hit the ground like a ton of bricks.
