But the casual gamers rarely watch these videos while us hardcore gamers do. Why not make videos for us?

Big problem. Look at how fast that defender slides around at 2:55 after the press. WR still going forward while the DB has to change direction. How does the DB go from behind the WR to a good yard in front of him to pick the ball off? What happened to locomotion?

I'm surprised this surprises anyone. This isn't going to change this gen. I have been preaching this for years.

My only hope for any real true foot planting and momentum is for next gen.

Cause casual gamers are the ones who influence sales the most. Most of Madden's audience are casual gamers.

You missed the point. If casual gamers rarely get around to watching these videos, why make them geared towards them? All these gameplay videos say the same thing inside of them. Why not make videos of why the IE will change the way we play? Or why Read and React should be considered a huge improvement this year? Why do they continue to give this water down BS every time they talk about the game? I know they have to sell games but these videos seem like they are just a 'check in the box' instead of something truly informative.

Quite frankly this whole generation of football gaming has felt like a "check in the box", just getting something out there called Madden NFL and convince as many people as they can to buy it. No regard for the quality of the game or how well it represents NFL football but just get something out there new that marketing can convince the masses they must have. I am disappointed in myself for seeing this crap as clear as day, yet buying this game every year anyway because "it's just a video game".

When Ian was around they had smaller in detail videos for the hardcore players. I remember watching Wes Welker cutting on the green screen to show player momentum with cutting. Then people complained that they videos showing off features or fixes that didn't make into the game. My guess is EA plays their cards tighter now because the transparent and open communication era didn't quite work out.

I'm glad the defensive assignments are fixed. Or at least that's what he just said.. I really hated getting confused when my players covered recievers that they shouldn't be covering. Like a Linebacker covering Desean Jackson...

"We'll take a question from Terry Davis in Miami Ohio.... Is there gonna be a 13' on the cover of this year's Madden?, Well that's a tough question Terry, but we did get it in there barely."

How these videos make us all feel pretty much...

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Madden Mondays #5: Gameplay

lol @ the designer guy. He seemed so nervous. Looked like if the camera zoomed out more we'd see black-hooded EA execs on either side of him with Ak47's

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Madden Mondays #5: Gameplay

Lord I hope that ZOOM! sound for every pass is just in this video and not the game.

Got to love marketing guys that have absolutely no clue.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Madden Mondays #5: Gameplay

This has to be the worst marketing plan. That video has 302 views. Hardcore or casual no one cares about the hype train. Even casuals know what Madden is and isn't this generation. I don't know what these video really accomplish, show stale gameplay, and answer soft ball question.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Madden Mondays #5: Gameplay

of course it's not that way in the game.. this isn't NFL Fever. That's just production value added to the video.

The fact that the marketing editor thought that would be a good thing to throw in there for "added excitement" doesn't really make them look any better, lol. Drove me nuts the first time I watched it.


You know the more "E3 gameplay" videos I watch, the more I think EA's idea of a physics engine simply means the player falls in the right direction when he gets hit. That's good and all, but I sure wished it would at least look a little more realistic and natural when they just fall over. With Backbreaker hit looked so real other then sometimes they looked a little rag doll like every now and then. With Madden they look super stiff almost every tackle.
