I will say they look better, but that ain't really saying much. Like you said they still are not running. It still looks like they're jogging just a tad bit faster. I guess we will have to wait till 2013 to finally see fluid running, or fluid animations period.

Yeah, its mind-boggling that they still cannot get this right.

You watch the video on page one, and then compare the running animations to this. Go to the 20 sec mark, and look how fast his legs churn. How fast he actually moves...

I've never really heard anyone complain about how long it takes to play a game. I mean, sure, sometimes I start playing and something comes up and I have to quit. That's not because the games are too long, just bad timing. Most of the people that have problems with finishing games have only asked for one (old) feature...

IN FREAKING GAME SAVES WTF WHY THE HELL I DON'T EVEN.

Exactly. I have never hear anybody complain that it takes to long to complete a game.

So what does EA do? Work on that, and ignore the more important stuff. Hilarious.

What? Locomotion is extremely important and at the top of many sim gamer's wishlists.

Listen at 4:38.

Ian basically says right out "whats the point in having 300+ plays when most people only use a select few". So instead of fixing the AI and gameplay so they can try to eliminate money plays, let's just throw BS features at the consumer to distract them from the real problems.

Did you even read my post, and what I quoted? What does that have to do with loco-motion??

Ok, I'm really getting turn off to the point that I don't even think I'm gonna buy it.

EA completely ignores the fans request of better animations, franchise improvements, in-game saves, and other countless outcries for change and come up with something nobody has complained or worried about like gameflow...I'm so disappointed in the Madden teams efforts to address their fans real concerns right now. Please tell me this isn't for new features...

Locomotion and the catch debugging tool....

Not revealed yet, but planned...

Probably not in, big bummer....(seriously)

2/3 Pretty good, though 5/3 should be their goal every year. Like NCAA, they've added 5 improvements from the survey when they said pick your top 3. Everyone expected 3 improvements.

Hmmm...gameflow...I will laugh if it's not superstar-mode, where it make sense to be in, right?

Something tells me EA are starting to get it, so I'm assuming it's in Superstar mode. (Superstar is a mode this year right?)

[JerseySuave4]

they keep talking about making games shorter and quicker for people to play but i think it will be more time consuming having to develop a gameplan for each game than it is to just select a play yourself. Unless i'm really missing something.

Before every game you have the option to use your own gameplan.. or the teams default gameplan. Think of it as choosing playbooks before everygame.

I was absolutely ready to drop 100 bucks on this game until Ian mentioned people being able to run wildcat all they wanted. Man, gameplans sound freaking awesome but damn cheesers are going to make this game unbearable. Hopefully they can keep it in their pants most of the time.

I'd still like to see gameplans be more of, on offense we run and when that works you become more effective at it. And on defense we want to stop the pass, and when that happens you get better at that. Integrating what is working with players stats is something I can't wait to see Madden adopt.

Games do take too long to play.

45-60 minutes for 1 single game is far too long. And when you factor in opponent disconnects and just doesn't seem worth it.

Quicker is definitely good.

Maybe I was too broad...

Animations: With this new Locomotion, I still see PLENTY of gliding & sliding (no footplanting) in their gameplay footage. Better looking strides & running animations mean nothing with all the animation glitches I've seen that Madden actually approved to put video out to showcase. It's very worrisome.

Franchise Improvements: People voiced they wanted roles back, they want 80 man rosters to cut thru during preseason, none of this seems to be addressed are even in their plans. Maybe they do plan on giving us more info on this later, but they are pushing these lil' features so hard it seems like that's all they've worried about working on heavily.

This is what the Madden community voiced they wanted addressed. But so far, it seems to fall on deaf ears. Instead they push how they're trying to make the games shorter which is something nobody and I mean no body I've ever seen in these forums or anywhere had a concern about...it's so frustrating. GrRRRRrrrRRrrRrr!
