That wasn't sold as "Actual gameplay" it was more of a Next gen sizzle reel

Then why does the trailer display the words actual gameplay footage?

How do you not get bored seeing the same stuff every game? The same animations, cut scenes, boring/stale passing controls, bugs, predictable outcomes, etc. I get bored playing Madden after one half now a days, not enough variety/dynamic outcomes too predictable, and I get sick of seeing the same tackles, catches, cut scenes, field goals are boring, and the passing game is stale. I like playing sports games where I see something ive never seen before every game and a game that challenges me.

So stop buying it every year. At the end of the day these are sports games, games of Madden will always involve run plays and passing plays on a 100 yard field with up rights at each end. The way some people talk, it's as if they expect EA to give the QB's laser swords to "freshen up" the game play.

To be completely honest even if EA delivered what you see on TV every week during the NFL season, people would still find reasons to gripe and complain and nitpick about things like shoelace color of all things. It's gotten so beyond petty at this point. "Oh hey that animation engine is great! But the shoe laces aren't the right shade of white, how dare you EA! NOT BUYING!" Honestly that's what half the vocal folks who feel the need to hate year in year out sound like at this point.

It says "actual game footage", which likely meant that it was using the Madden engine with enhanced graphics. This is common in video game trailers, which is why you will see the distinction between "gameplay" and "in-engine" in many videos.

The RG3 screenshot above is also from a different video altogether - the Ignite Engine trailer that EA even came out and said was pre-rendered.

meh.

as is always the case, i'm just gonna wait until the game comes out before i get worked up.

there's so much they need to do and so much they can still announce, I'll reserve judgement, but I'm not too excited.

Some of the animations did look a lot better, but as is always the case, how frequently will we see the same ones and how many good animations are hidden/lost due to awful coding?

Yes, I am sure they are listening to the target audience of their game, mostly the competitive online crowd, who buys and enjoys their product. It is readily apparent that this target audience is not one which you are a member.

And this is why choices are good, and one company eliminating competition by means outside of a free market system (exclusive license) is bad, ie no competition in the NFL video game market.

Watching the live E3 press event right now ...

...and I must say...it actually *DOES* look quite like the Kapernick pic. Player jerseys seemed very detailed, wrinkled.

I think as long as the footage was actually from PS4 (or xone), then this game is going to look great and definite upgrade over last year's version. Again, that is, as long as the footage wasn't pulled from a high-end PC ...

Yup, you can see the level of detail change between replay and the angle you're controlling the action but they both look pretty nice. A lot to like in that preview.

Graphics look a lot better, but the sidelines still look like they're from 2006. I don't think this tackling cone thing was needed, I actually like the tackling system. This biggest thing that needs improvement, is the way DB's and WR's go after the ball in mid-air. It's terrible. And another thing that is bad, is when you throw a bad pass and a CB is wide open, and the fall just falls right out of his hand. I'd rather throw an INT then have a CB drop the easiest catch ever. Improve the passing system, and then the way the DBs/WRs catch the ball should improve themselves with a little tweaking. Madden always does this, improve small things that no one really cares about and then ends up being left out in next years game. Yes, new camera angles were needed, but that shouldn't be a major new feature in the first real year of a Next-Gen game.

Who cares abut the graphics?! I want a functional game that works out of the box! I bet the sideline still looks jacked up and the presentation still dull. Good Day!

Why is Cam so dark this year, when his skin color was correct before? He looks like Willie Beamon.
