Re: Madden NFL 15 Official Trailer, Ultimate Edition Details and a Few Screenshots

The ignite engine is capable of animating well. Look at game like fifa there is some really nice animation. Even madden have some nice animations. You can tell between the newer animation ala line play from last yea and the legacy animations like the back pedal which needs to be redone. The problem is EA needs to address those legacy animations and redo them all. They also need multiple animation for the same scenario. The game will also seem like there is more variety if there was multiple WR stance, multiple route running style, multiple running form, multiple RB stance, fifa jousting for WR/DB interaction. There should not be any excuse this generation with plenty of power and space for those animations. Sideline needs to be address also players need to look like there counter part on the field even if it's a little bit lower resolution like nba 2K

Wow some of those animations are pretty cool. However, they need to redo a ton. The route running looks off. But there ate some pretty ones in there. Madden seems very herky, jerky and twitchy. Instead of smooth. The animations are weird like the WWE games. Really fast and unnatural.

Your analysis is thorough, features some very constructive criticism, and points out the positives in gameplay. I share the same views as you and I am optimistic about the game this year. However it seems we are in the minority.

I'm on board with you. Great break down of the video in pointing out some positive points. Let's hope some of these developments carry over into the longer gameplay videos were are sure to see next week.

The top screen is what you're getting in August.

The second two are what EA wants you to think you're getting. The enhancements are night and day in my opinion.

The funny thing is the Kuechly screenshots are blended into the trailer and many won't even notice. It's pretty shady if you ask me.

I wish I could disagree with you, or even say the top shot is old gen (PS3 and XBOX 360) while the bottom 2 are Next Gen "in game" shots, but I'm not buying fools gold until I see unedited gameplay videos with graphics close to the bottom two pics!

at 0:51 why did it seem like number 21 and i think 82(not sure if thats his number) were running away form the ball when Luke Kuechly made the tackle?

Looks good from the tiny bit they've shown. Some people are just going to whine about anything. And I've been one of Madden's harshest critics, so no fanboyism here.

Crazydavid: it looked like he was covering the crossing WR/TE in man, so he was slow to break off since his eyes weren't in the backfield.

I just wanna see issues that's been plaguing the gameplay to be fixed, these vids do nothing for me since I finally came to the conclusion they will never meet that target render. I am hoping the eyes in the back of the head of defender's is gone and QBs are true to thei real life counterparts.

The gimmicky animations era should be done with by now.

This is the game engine we will be receiving... tweaked and better.... Madden 25 was just a quick port like fifa and live

They need to worry about much more simpler things then D-Line/O-Line interactions. One, the graphics are terrible in comparison to 2K. And, when the ball is in the air, the DB and the WR play on the ball is so terrible and unrealistic. Those two things bother me the most. I don't care about the O-Line as much.

I totally agree. The newer animations added for next gen look better, especially the celebration animations on the way to the endzone. The biggest problem imo is they don't blend well together. Like you said everything needs to be done over and they need to remove those jerky stiff animations. Also there isn't nearly enough interaction between players.

Also it's pretty sad that at times when you throw into the endzone, players do that animation they added a few years ago where they put their hands down like they're telling their teammate not to bring the ball out of the endzone on a return. I never see it on kick returns but when I throw to the endzone I have defenders doing that animation, lol. It's pretty pathetic no one at Tiburon noticed that and removed it.

Attention to details is their biggest problem.

Some of the tackle animations bother me the most, and you'll notice a lot of them actually are helmet-to-helmet. There is a high tackle that happens a lot where it looks like they're about to do one of those Judo flips where the guy on the bottom flips the guy above him. They need to get rid of that one, badly. There is another tackle that plays in the same situation, a lower tackle, and I wish they'd keep that one and cut the other.

I'd rather the game have fewer animations that are good, than having a ton of bad ones that are there just for bullet points.

I agree, but at this point we shouldn't have to even say I'd rather have this and this, we should be having both. These systems are capable of doing things we haven't even seen yet, devs just have to have the time and talent to do it, which is always questionable with Tiburon.

There's just so much stuff that just doesn't look natural or like football and it just baffles me how it got into the game, or how it manages to stay in the game year, after year, after year, after year...............

Question. Does madden 25 not look and play like that? I remember seeing that vid last year and was impressed. I have never played next gen madden.
