Madden NFL 13 Videos - ESPN Mark Schlereth Talks Presentation and Gameplay

Just a few comments on these videos -

- I feel nauseous. That camera man had some type of palsy.
- Also, quite hilarious how sweaty the gameplay guy was
- I like the new pregame stuff, but the player models still look awful. I would be pissed if I was Ryan Grant. And it looks like everyone is wearing giant chest plates. Is that what the art designer sees when he watches the NFL? He may need glasses.
- I wonder how much time was spent on that stupid menu crap. That is pointless fluff that time and money goes into. I just don't understand the priorities.
- I may be alone in this, but motion blur looks stupid. I don't think it adds realism at all. Maybe I'll like it when I play it myself. Everything I've seen so far though - don't like it.
- Whoever at EA decided to not include the ability to save images from replays (a la NCAA) should be punched in the face. Why spend so much time/effort/money on lighting if it can't really be appreciated?


Not to be a negative nancy, but these videos didn't impress me at all. I'll still probably by the game eventually because I'm an idiot, but overall I'm disappointed with what I've seen so far.

I'm hoping for big things in regards to this "monumental change" to gameplay, but don't forget..."this will change how you play Madden forever" turned out to be Communities.

did anybody else notice the physics @ like 1:55 when the ravens tackled benson?..

I noticed a few tackles that had some physic looking animations. I beggining to think that its not gonna be a full out game with ragdoll physics, but it some instances they are working it into the game. Its a work in progress.

This was the first thing that jumped out at me that some of the tackles looked like the players had limp limbs when falling but everybody on here turned this thread into a bashing thread on the running animations. I think there is some positives to be seen with these videos.

LOL, one thing Madden does right is Marketing. Nothing about that video looked impressive to me nor does having Schlereth add any authenticity but some people will buy it hook, line, and sinker.

Not to mention most of the scenes in the first video were not angles you would see in actual gameplay. For the life of me I can not see how someone gets excited by cutscenes and video of CPU vs CPU gameplay.

what do you care what other people like...or buy......

As far as Cowboys wearing blue at home, down & distance incorrect after the TD, (fill in the blank problem here) goes, the videos do say WIP. Work In Progress. And we don't know how old or recent the build shown is. Let's cut 'em some slack, it's May.

I'm not even remotely suggesting that these things will be fixed, as we've seen things slip through in the past. But I do think it's a little too early to judge the game as "not impressed" yet. Heck, it's too early to say "impressed", even. Give it some time, let's see what EA can do with it.

This is so true. I'm sure there will be a large group of people that find a way to complain about how unreal Simms and Nantz will look but will forget about how terrible Chris Berman looked.

Oh you mean how bad he looked 8 years ago on a last gen system?

Comparing the scorebug with CBS', its not so much anything else other than that blue. They don't need to change anything, other than getting a different color, and make it more like the CBS colors that they used. From looking at it at first, I thought it'd need a bigger change, but the CBS one proved me wrong.

I really like the new graphics package too, but the scorebug needs to be touched on, looks way too arcade/wii ish

I can agree wit dat. I actually was thinking that when they first showed footage of the game last week but said, "Eh, whatever..." Ha. Hopefully, it's just a place holder and they'll improve on it. I have to say, I was really loving the bug for Madden 12.

Yep and at 4:11 the scorebug doesn't even show up, so obviously this vid says WIP for a reason.

Yeah me too, I do like the play by play stat banner right underneath it though, it stands out a little more than in Madden 12.

It looks overdone. It keeps getting flaunted in screenshots and I shake my head at it. Why do I care to see a blurry shot, in the first place? I've had a hard time really noticing it during video, but that's probably because I'm not looking for it. We'll see, I suppose.

Movement in general is just unrealistic, no footplanting is the main reason for it too. Players dont transition smoothly from one animation to the next, instead they just magically pop into the next anitlmation.

Well here's my two cents. I think Madden looks better and better each year as a video game. But seems to look worse and worse each year as a realistic representation of a sport.

And by that I mean it seems the colors are more cartoonish, the players move more and more like videogame characters without any weight or momentum and the field seems to more and more resemble a pool table as someone mentioned.

It looks overall like it's becoming "Mario'ized" and that score banner doesn't help things any.

With that being said I still look forward to playing it because while it may become more and more unrealistic going in this direction it could also end up being quite a fun game to play. I mean Mario is fun after all and it's not a realistic representation of an Italian plumber trying to rescue a Princess.

When will they learn that the whole "EA Sports" presentation just doesnt work. We need CBS/ESPN/FOX. That would take the presentation to a whole different level.
