Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

Is it just me or does it looked like they pulled the camera back similar to the old PS2 days? When the QB drops back to pass you can see the entire field now, including the flats out of the back field on both sides...

I dont recall having that view when passing in Madden 10.

good catch, that's probably why I thought it was a ps2 game when I first watched it. Reminded me of the old days playing Madden.

Hmm it looks the same to me, IDK..i guess it's just me. I also see the same lumbering running styles...i'm saying it baffles me why EA couldn't speed up these running animations..

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

It's just Tiburon football. Very uninspiring. I'm sure it's "fine", but just looks so boring. I feel like I've been playing this same game my whole life.

Well by reading the VERY in depth OS NCAA review from the event this weekend, the gentleman reviewing it seemed extremely impressed with NCAA this year. He mentions things like OL/DL being completely re-written and how great it worked on both sides of the ball.

I would have to assume that Madden will be better top to bottom then NCAA, because its their flag ship game. So this gives me a lot of hope that maybe that extra month of polish that the NCAA game has gotten will translate into Madden a month from now.

I feel you, definitely a great catch that seemed like PS2.

So Here is my take on the video.

--Overall, the video wasn't Jaw-Dropping, but what I respect, is that they needed a year like this where they didn't Add any new system (like Pro-Tak), which would need a year or too to refine itself because its the 'New' thing.

I think that gang tackling stuff should be refined, and they are getting the run locomotion/canned animations refined/ obviously the sideline catching (even though this is a marketing video, we should take it with a grain of salt).

--People wanted smother gameplay, and I'm confident that we are getting it, just based on there marketing strategy (or lack of..."Faster, Smoother, Deeper".) It seems cheesy, or just like 'Huh?', but I just think that they needed a year like this w/o adding a 'Fight for the Fumble' or something like that to just work on preexisting problems, like sideline catches, foot-planting, and just overall better physics.

--I can only hope that in Madden '12, they get custom running styles (like they have custom QB styles, to get that lean back into people running. I think they are going a long way though with forcing the actual player to lean by holding down the the R-Stick.

Overall, like I said...the video isn't jaw-dropping, but I can deal with it.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

Kinda meh. I want to see full gameplay. If all of the guys on the field, meaning NPC's, aren't all bending and twisting the way I can, the new locomotion improvements become a "back of the box" gimic, in my book. So far, I haven't seen anything that screams Fifa-level improvement. The reason that Fifa's locomotion works so well is that it is paired with the 1,000 decisions a second, which is tweaked every title to become more true to life. That and really realistic collision animations. Until Madden gets all that stuff into line and they start building a game that looks,acts and moves like football, they'll always have this cut and paste look. It's been that same way for too long. Like I said, I haven't seen the whole shebang in action, but from the little stuff I've seen going on in the background, it seems too many legacy issues are still there. Right now, meh, maybe a meh-+...

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

I'm convinced that this GameFlow thing is a way to implement a "true to life" gameplanning system, and that it's not just "Ask Madden" with instructions on where to throw the ball. I could be completely wrong, but if this paves the way for a "play scripting" system(first 15-20) and then a situational "coach's card" for the rest of the game(a list of plays for each situation -- 1st and 10, Second and long/med/short, third and long/med/short, 4th down) then I'm all for it.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

This could be a case where they just put something together for the draft, a demand from the NFL, and was unable to fully implement all the upgrades. They may have also chose not to show alot, because of the forth coming release of Backbreaker, which may still be in development considering it has been delayed. Ian and company are smart enough not to show their entire hand. Plus, if they expose everything now, what will have to look forward to later. The closer we get to release, the better the videos will be, I hope, but the trailer wasn't that bad imo.

MADDEN 11 GIFS..Some reason 2 and 3 are super fast

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

Nice gifs Djordan.

Personally I think EA finally gave people the perfect "1st footage". They showed things from a gameplay camera angle(which everyone complains about), and they showed things from up close angles. I don't see how anyone can complain about what they showed, it's exactly what we usually want.

The problem lies with the game itself. Face it people, if you don't like the footage you saw give it up. This is what we get this generation. EA built 1 of the worst football engines coming into this generation. That's it it's over. Just don't buy the game if you don't like an ounce of what you saw, because it's not going to get much better by August. BELIEVE THAT.

Sage and DJ;

Take a look at this thread with the Brees interview.

I feel a bit better watching this one vs the trailer.

I just watched that, and while it does look slightly better, it's still not what I'm looking for, so I think I'll be passing on the game this year until I can get a used copy.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

IDK. Still see the same problems that plagued Nxt Gen Maddens b4. Look at the 1st play they run. The defense is obviously playing a zone. Watch how both of the DB's back paddle then turn way b4 the WR passes them. Leaving the WR's open for a short pass. I hated that on Madden 10. Also look at when he throws the pass, the two DB's start running to the ball without even looking behind them to see where it was thrown. I hope they fix this by launch.
