Why do we even care about graphics at this point? I think they look fine, not on point with Nba2k or mlb the show but good none the less.

What I care more about is animations. Simply put EAs animations really don't look anything like football. Why is every tackle a big hit? Why can't we make reach tackle attempt while being blocked? Wr/db animations?

It has gotten to the point where I truly believe that the public just hates Madden. I understand that this game is not as great as it could be, and NFL 2k5, gameplay-wise, outdoes every Madden game made since then. However, EA, in my opinion took a huge step in the right direction with M25 NG. It was not what they showed in their trailers, but it was a game that had improved blocking, better running, better graphics, and better lighting than any previous Madden, including M25 last-gen. Looking at these videos and screenshots, this looks way better than what Madden put out last year, and that seems good to me. Stop saying that this is a "disappointment" before you even see more than a one minute trailer that features barely any gameplay at all.

This is what ppl do, when we get trailers we critic them. The point of the trailer to build hype and impress the community. The graphics and muscle definition look nice. The screen shots and facial scans indeed look superb and on par with other NG games, kudos to EA for that. Yet the still shots are only half the battle. In that small 10 second clip of a "new" game you see the same tackle animation that has been in the game for years and game-play mechanics that have held this game back and have lead to outside runs being overly dominant. Of course EA is holding some major aces right now, Redesigned Man/Zone coverage logic will go a long long way in upgrading the game and we haven't seen the new defensive audibles that may be able to counter some of these things. But soley based on that trailer alone I just wasn't overly impressed.

I don't think the bolded should be glossed over or is deserving of any "buts" after it.

Judging by the animations and AI logic it is safe to say that in a decade EA hasn't been able to top 2K5. Part of me is stunned by and proud of 2K for making such a masterpiece, but the majority of my feeling is just sadness that we are stuck with the same old ugly, unrealistic mediocrity.

- Animations appear to be no different than what we are used to seeing.
- Sidelines appear to be just as dead as Madden 25.
- Graphics aren't as impressive as originally thought.
- No true step for all 22.

I hope gameplay can change my mind. As of now it's a pass on Madden 15.

If the presentation is still mostly cutscene driven, it's already a fail.

No matter how impressive they make the graphics this game will always be very ugly because of the animations. Seriously this is at the top of my list of issues with Madden. The animations are so freaking ugly. If they would overhaul the animations the game would feel like a completely brand new game. Instead I don't know what the heck they are doing.

I think it looks great. I am going to hold judgment on animations until I see the game in motion at E3. I think the helmet color looks fantastic. A true metallic gold look on Kap.

I could care less about clear colors, equipment, etc. Give me quality AI.

He's much thicker than his real self..... the player model is basically the same old Madden model. The face has clearly been scanned, that's good.

And again, LOOK AT THE GRASS ON THAT PIC!!!!!!

Grass? Really?! First, the Seahawks play on field turf. Secondly what do you expect? It's a screen shot. People focus on the most odd elements.

Re: Madden 15 Gameplay Video

Honestly the more I watch it, the more it looks like 2 different plays, where did #82 come from to blow up that safety?

But either way the Safety or OLB wasthe farthest outside defender and at the snap on the play that defender has already comprised his assignment.

Maybe this is one isolated event, maybe it is fixed, but since this has been one of my biggest gripes for a long time, it was the first thing I looked for.

I was thinking the same thing. #21 lines up over the TE. #38 engages the TE, coming from where #21 was lined up. But #21 spins off the block of someone that's not either of those TEs (85 or 86).

Either way, everyone laid into their assigned blocker as they always have. And EA's defensive speil makes no mention of gap/force/fill/contain assignments.

Guaranteed that every person commenting here buys Madden this year. Even those that are overly critical.

How hard would it be to update the gloves/shoes? Seems like pretty low hanging fruit to me...

Honestly, and this is coming from someone who hasn't bought a Madden game in seven years cause of their low quality, I feel like what I saw was pretty good. I couldn't completely tell from the video, but for the first time in so long I feel like I can have a sliver of optimism towards Madden this year. Can't judge off this one video, got to wait for details.

Dramatic camera angles again? What happened to the awesome TV camera angles from a few years back?
