Madden NFL 13 Video - Victor Cruz Salsa Dance

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Victor Cruz Salsa Dance

I'm trying to think if I've ever seen any player spike the football in Madden. Is there a way to do that?

I feel like we have but it's always look a little wonky because of the way the ball would bounce. I don't recall seeing any last year but I could be wrong. I know in the Presentation & Gameplay Playbook trailer they showed at the very end the "Gronk Spike". Hopefully there will be some variations of spikes in there like maybe the John Taylor jump and between the legs spike from the Super Bowl.

I think this is the reason people aren't excited:

We've been here before... in fact, that dance does kind of look like they did it in '09 -- wasn't OchoCinco on that dance already?

Are all of those celebrations still in the game?

Definitely not all of them, just because a lot of them are illegal now. Also, that was something they hyped for Madden 09 was the user-controlled celebrations where when you scored, you ran to the box and hit a button to do a celebration. Jumping into the crowd was my favorite.

Is there a way to trigger a player to do a regular ol' spike a football I guess is what I'm asking. Nothing else tied to it.

Only at OS can an 11 second video be dissected like its a dead frog in a high school class.

The point of the video is to show you the dance, not how the players behind them move. It's probably an early build of the game (as the dev stated earlier in this thread) so there's still a chance whatever is wrong ets fixed.

This is my thought on this thread. It's an eleven second clip of a guy salsa dancing and we've seen comparisons of gameplay between Tecmo Super Bowl and Madden. The conclusion of being satisfied with subpar gameplay based on being satisfied with an eleven second clip of salsa dancing.

I mean, seriously. If this is what happens when they give us a video this short of a guy dancing, I don't even know if I want to see what happens June 4th.

Guys let's be honest here. We only need 11 seconds of a video to determine if we like the animation or not. This is why it was posted up, for us to judge. EA felt fine with 11 seconds being long enough , so what is the problem?

I personally don't need 11 minutes or hours of one Victor Cruz animation salsa dance to properly judge it. 11 seconds is more than enough. In the video it was not accurate.

I'm sure EA is fine with the criticism, and if they did not get the truth then they will never be able to reach star status, and only have to hear how the others do it so much better.

Now that I'm sure they are tired of hearing.

Just an idea, call me crazy, but what if they put the video out there for people to judge so they could tweak it for the final version?

Preposterous!

All kidding aside though, I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly why it was done. With as quickly as the scoreboard changed after garnering feedback, nothing would shock me at this point. With these short videos like this, I don't really get the feeling that they're released for hype. Obviously, they are on some level otherwise why release it? But it seems more like a 'here's what we've got, this is it in the game, what do you think?' type thing.

Obviously, I could be wrong and we could get Mr. Roboto de Salsa come August.

Can't their QA testers do the same?

Are you serious? lol. We could we possibly tell the devs in the 11 second clip they already don't know? I mean really... What we told them they can find out by looking up at youtube clip of the real V.Cruz Salsa dance.

I'm ok with people saying the dance is terrible, it's the other stuff that's annoying.

"Oh, look at the players sliding"

"Oh, look at how they walk back to the sideline/huddle"

Stuff like that on a WIP piece of footage is weak. It's the same with the Simms/Nantz thread. There's no way that what they showed in that video is a final version that will be in M13. I highly doubt Nantz won't name guys like Vick or Rivers, but the thread is an absolute slamming of EA.

I'm all for giving criticism to the company. I've had many issues with how EA has handled the NHL series (especially EASHL) but I think that the stuff that goes on here is a little ridiculous.

Like I've mentioned before, you would have a point...if it wasn't for EA's track record.

Yes I agree somethings can be out of line, and delivered in the wrong way. I will say we have some very observant people in here, but at the sametime we do need to focus on the words WIP.

We should just focus on the dance, as that was the reason the video was posted, but to think about it. They judge other things in the clip also because they have seen those same actions in the previous version, so they react to it in hopes it gets corrected.

Anyway I feel because of this thread we will get a better V.Cruz salsa dance

Lets keep an eye out on this.
