FYI - crowd noise was 100% broken in the build those guys used to capture this video.

It's crazy, this video is about 2 weeks old and it already looks totally out of date to me because of all the recent changes we've been making to gameplay. It still is a good showcase of many of the things you guys should expect to see.

Very good to hear about the crowd noise! I am really hoping you guys have made big strides in this area, it would add alot to immersion. Also, this video looked much faster then the gametrailers video. It did not look like it had the 5% slower gamespeed?

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

Looks real good, presentation looks improved and we havent seen all of it yet. EA has my 60 dollars this year, but if Hammond is announcing next year, I will not buy '11.
The guys voice is so dead and lifeless, it really detracts from the game. There is nothing you can do EA that will fix his robotic, monotone, Kenny G voice.
And no I will not play with my music on or stadium announcers.
I need to play with commentators.

I want my speed pocket set up. Some people may be tired of hearing about it, but without that when a guy gets in the gun we are gonna be in trouble. Secondly, against the run I need for the Dlinemen to be able to hit the gaps if I give them the command to crash right or left. In the run blocking vid the Olinemen were sliding into place and blocking guys straight up. If I call crash right and the run is to that side, the Dline should hit the right gaps and I should be able to check my gap with the linebacker and get to the football. It is not long term solution, but we need something to mimic a run fit.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

I loved what I saw. Obviously some presentation aspects were edited out and the CB was user controlled. The pocket didn't form as fast as I hope, but I believe it will be fixed by august 14th.

They seemed to have made such a big improvement in one year. It really makes me believe that Ian and company know exactly what to do and the future of Madden is in great hands.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

the pocket is way to wide. if its on pro shouldnt it be smaller because its on an easier difficulty so it should be easier get to the qb? man coverage looks like ***, same as last year. at least there was an over the shoulder catch, DB didnt react to it cause he didnt turn his head.

disappointed to be honest

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

WHY in god's green earth did that cornerback run right past and infront of McNabb and run across the field instead of sack him???????

i think there were three people playing

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

just a minor personal annoyance, but I hate the camera flashes....lol

There's nothing more annoying than sitting next to a picture taker at a football game. Quit taking pictures and watch the game already.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

OK, I hope this is an early build. There is no DOF throughout the entire video, with the one exception of the fumble pile-up. Plus no colored cleats. I'd say very early build.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

, i noticed the 2 guys using the sam wwarm up animations AT THESAME EXACT TIME right before kickoff. Looked very generic, but is somthing i know the Madden team will clean up.

Anybody notice the runningback plate on Barber?? not quite sure if McNabb was wearing a flack Jacket?? i know romo wasnt !

Why do so many people ASSUME all these issues will be fixed?? EA's track record of NOT fixing these issues is well documented, so to say "we're sure they'll fix this" is outrageous!!

There were several things in this video I found disturbing, given all the hype Ian has layed on us about "if you see it on Sunday.....". The game STILL lacks emotion, IMO. The commentators sounded worse than last year, really. As other already pointed out, the coin toss will get boring after a couple games if it's always the same sponsor....the 2 guys doing the synchronized dancing before the kickoff really sucked the realism out of that moment.

The generic references to Williams are more of the same we had last year where they rarely used a players name. The pile-up after the fumble looked more like a game of buck-buck with the lineman doing the WWE style dive at the pile.

The refs signalled posession the wrong direction, and the wrong team celebrated.....these are all taken from a very short (and strongly edited) clip of gameplay. If we're seeing THIS many issues in that short a time, I am concerned!!

Overall, color me un-impressed! The game STILL looks like Madden as in past years....and it just doesn't look like what we've been told to expect.

That's nice to hear.

Sounds like the game is improving every day! Keep it up! And please remove the wide-angle, drifting shot with the camera people in the lower right corner.

Good to hear Ian...keep up the great work...if you've already made improvements to crowd noise, run fits, and a faster forming pocket in just two weeks I am beyond impressed!!

Re: Kudos to the dev team

Man Michaels and Madden need to be back ASAP! Retired or not retired he needs to get his a** in that booth and record some lines! Madden has by far the greatest commentary in the game. He speaks the truth, and gives some insight, like collinsworth on the whole backtrack thing.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

the only thing i am really disapointed in is the lack of a new kicking system( a shield instead of a circle, oh boy). I think all the other aspects are making steps in the right direction, some steps bigger than others

I'm pleased with what I saw. That 'fresh coat of paint' for every year's Madden game is a welcome sight....HOWEVER...

Ian - Tom Hammond is dragging down your game, dude.

While the rest of Madden has leaped into present with the gusto of JJ Abrams' Star Trek - Tom Hammond is like a layer of dust on top of the whole thing. He sounds like an old man. Hammond may be 8 years younger than Madden - but when it comes to energy and delivery - the guy CANNOT compare.

Here's some adjectives that came to mind when I brainstormed descriptions of Tom Hammond in Madden:
Corny.
Wack.
Tired.
Boring.
Phony.
Stitched.
Old.
Musty.
Generation Gap.

Please tell me he's not under a multi-year contract, because simply getting us commentators with some LIFE will take Madden leaps and bounds further than you guys already have.

New Rule - if the dude's over 50 and he's not John Madden - DO NOT WANT.

Ugh, I gotta take a shower now.
