If it's not NG footage it is some special rendering. From coach headsets, to improved fidelity of textures and lighting like the sheen on the artificial field in the Week 4 clip, and player model detail. The problem is the animations still look awful.

I just can't believe after the Madden 06 NG launch that things seem more mysterious this time around, and the quality of the product is just as much in question.

Why does the NFL care about Madden sales. They get the same money regardless

I would care if a third party company is using my product, i would want said product to do well, even if i get the money regardless of how the product is perceived.

I'm pretty sure it's next gen footage. They are just using excuses after seeing the reaction from the video. AGAIN.

That's the difference between you in the NFL. They could care less how the game plays, as long as it's not like NFL Blitz, and as long as they're getting their money, THEY DO NOT CARE.

Not "One" thing WOWED me in that video. Not that EA has wowed me with anything in the last so-many years as it goes anyway... I have a great idea though. Have EA do EVERYONE a big favor, and let Visual Concepts design all up-coming football titles. That way, we'll have something that's ground breaking to play!! EA's stuff is just over-hyped every year, and is nothing but stale and old.

I think current gen's player models are much better than these in the video. These look too bulky and blocky.

That's not how businesses work.

If you already have your money, there is zero concern about the other business entity.

If you need a comparison, it's no different than a team grassing a player. Once that player is gone, the team that traded him has zero concern with what he does. Only what they get in return.

Here's the thing. If the game wasn't fixed/corrected moving to next gen then it's not going to happen anytime in the foreseeable future. Just more trying to plug holes and add-ons to a game that should have been re-written from the ground up upon moving to Next Gen.

That's not a good comparison, once the player leaves he is no longer representing my team, which is different from this situation. Madden NFL is supposed to represent, you know, THE NFL.

I would imagine they have, otherwise this would be another fail in this game, IMO. EA paid a lot of money for the ESPN license and i have yet to see they properly use it in a game.

They used it in NCAA for years.

Mea culpa, i don't play NCAA games, so i stand corrected. Actually, now i remember playing a college basketball game from ea that had espn AND CBS presentation. So yeah, i was wrong. Point still stands about MADDEN and FIFA, though. They are using it now for live, so there's hope.

Lol, yea, I know it was a bad comparison but it was the best I could come up with

The premise remains though.

Ew. Again, this looks not great. Trent Richardson running looks hilarious. He's almost doing the goose step, and that's definitely not a showboat thing because there are defenders right there. And if that is the AI showboating, then that's just a great example of awful AI. I saw a catch animation where the ball was still caught with an inch or two of air between the hand. Like somebody else said, it just looks robotic.

I hope they use it in Madden. A MNF package and/or weekly wrapup show would be awesome!

I'm not giving up. There is something weird going on between EA and ESPN. No way will the game look and animate that badly. I'm sure M25 next gen will have plenty shortcomings but I don't think the ESPN vids will be what we see next month.
