I didn't read this whole thread and only watched like 30 seconds of the video but I'm wondering is weather gonna effect gameplay this year or does it still only change the color of the field ?

You can see in the first two videos that WR slip in the snow, and there are also multiple failed sideline catches. I wonder if that's an effect of a weather-induced lack of agility.

I know in M10 rain definitely affected the passing game and ball security. It was cool to see weather finally be a factor in Madden.

I'm thinking it probably won't be implemented like you invision it outside of a flew players slipping or stumbling. Rain and snow should effect the way teams have to approach an opponent.

Haha. I laughed at that one too, Kia. I'm so glad to be able to play Madden in a sim league and not versus the "typical" player. Boldin gets subbed for speed, Flacco gets subbed for speed, and the defense is full of DL zone drops, attempts at A-gap nanos, etc.

Who is playing in these game clips? It'd be nice if they got someone reasonably sim to show how the game plays by those standards.

I like the run blocking, I will say that, and I like as well the atmosphere stuff they added to pregame and in between quarters.

Looks like fight for the fumble is still there. I *really* hope we have the option to turn that off in the OF.

I know Im abusing "Mr. Ed" but it would be great if Madden had a "NFL sim" mode. Nothing fancy, just a mode that requires gamers to play within the limits of the real NFL to be successful. That way, gamers that are interested in that kind of gameplay could easily network with each other.

I thought the game looked MUCH better, you could see the locomotion big time. I liked how the interceptions looked smoother, the replays looked good, the plays opened up realistically, and there weren't too many "...only in Madden" moments.

Roeth is breaking entirely too many tackles though. Gonna have to edit some ratings when I get the game. Overall, I'm much more excited to play this game than I was a week ago.

This video reminded me of....Dare I say ben-bef-bel-boo-bay-bive? (Cmon, say it out loud)

They respond to comments in general. This has absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

Back on track, please.

Looks like Madden 10 to me. Won't know till the demo comes out. The tackling is still terrible, got the force field going on when a ball carrier is engaged. I think NCAA 11 looks better than this.

I like the Big Ben truck!

This. Ive noticed there isnt nearly as much warp to the pass breakups and INTs.

Last year, you had an excellent chance at a user warp or rocket catch INT, if you were near the reciever.

I dont think Ive seen that yet, with what they have shown so far.

Ive seen one clip of a AI defenders making up a absurd amount of ground(9ers-raiders video..Nandi pick 6.)..but it doesnt seem nearly as bad last year, when I felt like I couldnt trust what I read.

Im HOPING that locomotion is going to force people to play their user defender a little more honest..rather then cheat run, or middle, and still be able to cover wherever they want to go.


My only concerns right now is zone depth/awareness and front 4 aggression.

The replay angles are much better in Madden than they are in the NCAA demo. Saw more impact hits in these videos; was nice to see the cpu Steelers blitzing as much as they were. Whoever was playing seemed too jittery in the pocket and was falling back on the old Madden drop back 25yds or rollout from pressure tactics. Overall the OL/DL interaction still seems pretty soft, not any bull rushing/players being forced backwards/forwards. I'm sure most reviewers will care less but the player interaction overall is a huge disappointment - especially at this stage next gen; really stands out as a big negative imo
