For some people, this street doesn't go both ways.

I hear you man.

But I mean.. how can you respect a developer that gets sooo many things wrong, and don't seem to actually want to progress? I mean I know that their are trolls in this world that will hate just to hate EA. Just like there are those who live and die Madden. But there is actually a lot of very good constructive criticism from the youtube community. The Sim Standard being a very good place to start.

After much pausing and zooming in, I was finally able to see more.

-I think that overhead shot could be an intro, not a customizeable camera. Kinda like 09 had....

-I see the Titan's intro, complete with chariot, as well as a 49'ers intro, players going down the line and low-fiving.Waiting to see if all teams have specific intros or generically the same. (Like Brees' pre-game chant in 11)

- Something about the online teambuilder, although I don't care about that.

-Field goal cam looks slightly different. But I couldn't see the end if it switches to the side view.



What I need to see, obviously, is actual gameplay vids, which I know won't happen for awhile.

I also want to know if they beefed up stadium sounds, esp. the crowds. I don't want to get into a game and have it become dull and boring like years past.

I'm still not jumping onboard the hype train just yet. I need to see much, much more before I punch that ticket.

But I also know this is what a teaser is about------a tease of what's to come. I wasn't expecting much, and really didn't get much. I'll check back around late April-early May and beyond.

In the meantime, I have other games to hold my interest......(NHL comes to mind!)

That was nice, better than I thought it was going to be. I didn't expect custom playbooks though so that is a plus a definitely something I didn't expect the devs to release so early. Its one of those "back of the box" type features. Haven't had to many nice things to say about madden since 10' but, good job devs good job. Definitely a good a way to start off with releasing this teaser that was worth the watch.

Ian is getting some mad love in the YouTube comments section, haha. People expect the world in a first look trailer c'mon guys!!!

The inception music made chuckle a bit though. Heh.

What I gather from the vid is presentation has defiantly been enhanced. 3D grass, cheerleaders, team entrances, and probably more use of authentic broadcast angles. Good to see.

Custom playbooks finally makes it's return. It would be **** if we could use them online as well.

Huh, who knew such a overused word is censor now, lol.

Ian and AJ and all of the other EA developers come here and read the wishlists. They interact with the community. While Ian and his crew isn't perfect, they want to progress. They aren't standing still.

Didn't really like it. Actually thought it was dumb.

Wasn't that the same song they used for Crysis or another EA game?

I am cautiously optimistic at how the Dynamic Player ratings (hot/cold) will play out. I remember the thread that Lisa Bonami created about looking at the stats of an upcoming opponent in franchise and seeing a player on a hot streak, but it not being reflected when they play you. I think this is the type of thing that will make the game feel more organic.

I just hope it's nicely balanced.

Player tendencies. <3
Finally CPU Vick will not play just the same way as CPU Brady, CPU Asomugha will not play just like CPU Asante Samuel, CPU AP will not play like CPU CJ2K.

well i am pleased, everything here is way overdue, now lets hope implementation goes smoothly........

to quote AL Pachino in the godfather" just when i got out they pull me back in"

[Falcons11497]

3d grass like in NCAA 12 maybe? Thats what I got from the tiny clip of the feet running. Maybe new stadium and crowd atmosphere and team specific entrances also?

[PSRusse83]

Ok thats pretty cool. Spectator mode of some sort looks like its there

[PSRusse83]

Strangely enough the only turf that looked like real turf was in the bottom right of the screen. Everything else looked like the same odd looking field

Custom playbooks and tendencies are HUGE, so I'm really happy about that. That's something I and a ton of other people have wanted for awhile now.

Also, watching those 2 field goal clips, you can see the defense comes really close to blocking both kicks. Closer than I've probably ever seen the last few years unless it was some type of a glitch. I think they might have actually touched up the special teams for the first time in....ever?

Solid trailer IMO. It's made things pretty interesting to say the least.

Why is there no ESPN integration in Madden yet? Its not an issue, i was just wondering why they havent put it in.
