Looking good.

Loved that block Colombo did. Nice to see Aaron Rogers belt thing in too

Yeah, he lit Asante up !

Also, it looks as if they corrected the size of the ball. Am I imagining things ?

Yes, I am definitely impressed by this video. I was one of the skeptical, no thank you for Madden gamers but this video have brought some light to my opinions. Still looking forward to actual live game play but this is heading in the right direction.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay

that pancake block from Columbo to that helpless Eagles defender was VISCIOUS! GOSH I AM JACKED FOR THIS GAME!!!!!!!!

it was a great block. did you notice the collision detection after the block where he tripped over the defender he blocked and fell to the ground. That looked very nature and not the pinball effect.

Being a huge Madden skeptic that USED to be a fan of the series.....

That was...good...real good lol...The double hit tackles looked really good, blocking as well. They finally seemed to have listened.

Good job EA, can't wait to see what you guys have for the franchise mode blog.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay

Liked the way that Frank Gore switched the ball to the other hand and that Miami LB laid out Santanio Holmes and sent him back. I hope everyone noticed the ball physics reference, finally no more dead stop punts.

Today was a good day.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay

I like what I seen.

My only question is when the ball is snapped and you hand it off to a RB and you run into a lineman are you still going to be running up his *** all day?

Or did they finally add animations to prevent that from happening? I hate to bring up 2K but, in 2K they have a animation to prevent you from getting stuck on a lineman and doing the running man dance. They will stick their arm out and push off depending on what side they're on and it looks seamless and fluid.

I have a feeling they didn't add this but, I really hope they did.

You are not, that was specifically mentioned in one of the blogs.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay

Better than what it's been but... the animation system is still way too stiff imo. Just doesn't look natural

I agree. Some things look good others look bad. EA just needs to capture all new athletic animations. Even then, I don't know if it will translate into the game. I don't know if the tech they have in place is capable of displaying as many animations as this game needs.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay

graphics remind me of ps2 but in a good way

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay

I like, only thing that bugs me in the video is the same old sidelines, but guessing we're a generation of consoles away from being able to render 50 players/cameramen per sideline + AI/animations.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay

damn that is awesome... and the ball physics are sweet

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay

Well, EA is still good at editing and marketing. The video did look good though. Some things looked iffy, mainly the quarterback play, but overall it looked pretty good, but I doubt EA would show us anything bad trying to hype their game.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay

The Belt animation was REALLY stiff. I hope they polish that.

One thing I really hate is the QB throwing animations, as you know Drew Bress threw the ball, kicked his leg way out, then went into a defenders stance instead of looking the pass through... That annoys the crap out of me, and just looks horrible. Same with Vick (who has the best throwing motion in the NFL).

That said, this game just plain looks SICK right now.. Im actually excited for Madden for the first time in YEARS... They've done a really good job from what I can tell in that vid, with WR cuts and ACTUAL tackling!!! HOPE and PRAY those horrid QB animations or tuned... But hey, its not a game breaker...

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay

Yeah, loved the Colombo block and The Belt as well.

Indeed...dude got rocked...I remember someone blocking me like that back in the day. I was literally in the air.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Gameplay

Looks pretty good. Am I the only one that feels the graphics look more like 2k football? The models, the colors and the lighting?
