Madden NFL 12 Videos - Gameplay From ESPN First Take

Re: Video of Madden 12 Gameplay on ESPN First Take

I don't think cell-phone resolution videos do justice to the graphical improvement in Madden 12 versus Madden 11.

True.

I expect it to have the same tackling as NCAA. If it does it will be an improvement, yet still lacking, from what I've seen thus far.

I'm over scripted tackles. My $.02

Same here. Baby steps. Maybe what they're describing in the blog just hasn't been implemented fully... I hope.

I don't mind animation driven tackles if they go ham on the tackle animations to the point where they LOOK physic driven. But I still see defenders bouncing off of tackles. I still see those hugging tackles.

I'm not seeing any effort in ANY of the animations. No one looks like they're running hard, struggling, nothing. All of the animations look half-speed.

Somewhat true. That's why I said earlier that I'm holding my judgement until Thursday. Until we get those blogs and the videos along with them to give us a better feel of game.

This is the one area of Madden I'm am completely confident in. Madden's graphics have been top notch since they got rid of the hulk models.

No, it's not somewhat true, it's just true.

Having seen Madden 11 next to Madden 12 on big HD screens, I know this about the graphical differences.

BezO, have you seen the NCAA videos? I've seen some hard hitting momentum tackling in of the videos.

If not, I'll try to link you up.

Lots of conclusions being drawn off such a short clip.

I think there is but one bottom line: if you were a fan of M11, this clip is not exciting, but it's not damning either. For those who aren't a fan of recent Madden's, it likely just reinforces the issues that you've already have had with the game.

Still can't wait til tomorrow...

I'm throwing this out to both LT and BezO

Every time I pop this video over in the NCAA area, people ask, where did you get that from.

This one has me really excited about the tackling in the upcoming games this year.

Watch the first 42 seconds. Several whatever terminalogy you want to add momentum shifting tackles. No tumbleweed tackling prevelant.

I played the video a few times and....

What? Oh I fell asleep while writing this reply.

[bigsmallwood]

Didn't see any consecutive hit tackling...and the animations look like Madden we have been playing...I'll wait for some more official footage. #NotImpressed

Much better! I saw this but had forgotten about it. Definitely some momentum changing tackles. Some forceful hits too.

Opinion still stands on animations in general. Half-speed.

Added to OP. Longer version, framerate isn't very good tho, but it's something.

ESPN said when they converted it, facebook converter messed it up.

Agreed! As one who's been disappointed, there's not enough to get me excited.

The vid Roadman posted has some good tackles though.
