I have a 360 so i can't really comment on that. I think though that maybe I should start asking 2K for the apology because they've ruined me for all other football games. I mean after watching this video, i popped in APF and ran the SAME EXACT PLAY and the animations are just infinitely better than EA's. I literally started laughing. I just don't get it. EA has been giving you people the DS for the last how many years and you have been taking it with a salty grin. I can say that because i can proudly say that i've never paid money for a Madden game.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer
Locomotion might be better, but based on the video they don't have incidental contact in place yet. When the Saints HB runs up the line, cuts back to the left, he hits the Guard and then slides to the left a good 2 feet (motion shift). Not hand on back and move to the left, or bump into him and bounce to the left, just instant shift to the left.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer
Another thing. At the end of the play, there are 10 Saints and 10 Colts all mass warping/tackling there together. It's ugly as all get out.
How do 20 players converge to a 5 yard spot on the field 15 yards past the line of scrimmage???Comment

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer
Just caught this from the tv spot on Spike...
"An all new animation system will deliver the most realistic feeling and looking madden to date"
Anyone want to take bets on whether the jitter/rendering problems from past Maddens are still in Madden 11???Comment

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer
Those animations still need a lot of work. I wasn't impressed

I think overall it looks good thus far. As previously said, this stuff is from an alpha build. They certainly need to tighten up everything though.
What needs to be fixed/added:
- This irked me the most. PLEASE fix receiver motion. Auto-motion routes; I don't mind them being in the game, but please mocap a couple new animations based on the pattern being run. The receiver flies off the line-of-scrimmage like a rocket. Not only does that look ugly, but it's unrealistic as all hell. The receiver typically either: a) jogs relatively slowly, or b) runs, but slows down to prepare for the snap so they can get into their route easier. And more often than not, as the receiver slows, he comes to a stop and faces the LOS. The same should go for anyone who snaps after they send a receiver in motion. If they snap it as the receiver is moving, have it play an animation like the auto-motion ones. (Anyone who's watched football knows what I mean by this)
- I feel the players need to have a little more weight to them. By that, I don't mean size... I mean they need to look and feel like they're not hollow models running around. Not too much so that they all feel like they're lumbering, but enough to make it feel like gravity is keeping them on the ground. Maybe it's because they highlighted Bush... but he seemed a bit TOO light on his feet. Almost as if he was gliding.
- Interaction between players bumping into each other would be nice. At around 17 seconds in, you can see Colston dart off the LOS (see first bullet), and then proceed to run into the LB like he's a brick wall. All you see is Colston slow down a bit. Also looks very ugly. A little push/bump would be nice. When you see someone run in place, it's sad. This isn't the Genesis/SNES days.
- I see some blockers still look lost. If within the first 2 seconds they don't have someone to block, help double team the nearest threat or something. Seeing them dance around and continue to do nothing is also another ugly visual gameplay-wise.
- When you're viewing your play, it would be fantastic if you could see which defender is where. Any NFL QB knows where Revis is lined up, or if Ray Lewis or Haynesworth is tired and taking a breather.
What I did like:
- Running animations did look nicer. Just need to get them to seem more weighed down and it would be a nice improvement.
- The catch near the sideline was nice. Glad to see those are in there. Hopefully it's tuned well though, so it isn't overdone in unnecessary situations.
- Shockey made a nice block on his delayed route. I was expecting him to miss it altogether, but was very wrong.
- Though a small touch, custom sock lengths does give the game a boost in authenticity.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer
Unfortunately I don't believe that will be the case.
It seems that this series will always have a loyal following no matter what is released.
The sad part of it all,to the little "johnny's" this game is the cat's meow,and will always appeal to someone.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer
No, but they are trying to convince us that a feature that was tailor made for new users (their casual fan base) is for the hardcore sim players. That's a line this fish ain't biting. Mark my words. Watch the tweats/blogs/posts in the days to come.Comment
