    On a positive note, better interaction with the gunner at 3:01 & 3:05. Now if they can get both blockers to interact instead of one bailing...

      Madden has become a shallow experience on all levels for over 11 yrs now.

      Empty promises, poor gameplay, flat out broken features etc etc etc etc....

        Well, here's the thing. If it were mere presentation and minor gameplay issues like delayed controller responses or just a few game glitches that required fixing in Madden, that would be a significant cut to the ridiculously long list of issues. But, you need to consider the inherent problems of what Madden is trying to replicate, FOOTBALL. Anyone that knows REAL X's and O's football fundamentals will tell you why Madden is such a broken mess. No need to be a gameplay programming expert for that. There are plenty of people in the community that know the true ends and outs of REAL football that are more than qualified to voice their opinion on Madden.

        Honestly, I could care less about the game looking pretty at this point. But, to be fair, it looks better but it's still not on par with TRUE next gen graphics. Hell, even an old title like APF 2k8 has minor cloth physics. M15 is still behind on that, All they did was add a bunch of industry standard normal mapped wrinkles to the jerseys with better lighting. The players sizes have been adjusted a bit but it's still the same stiff animations engine that distracts you from said improvements. In a perfect world EA would just trash that ignite crap and rebuild Madden from the ground up to match the new tech ot today's consoles.

        But back to my point. For anyone who has ever played organized football, it is IMPOSSIBLE to ignore broken mechanics, improper techniques, smoke and mirrors line play and ridiculous A.I. that Madden tries to present as real football logic. And before anyone tries to give some speech about it being a video game that should have a few glitches and play a little arcadey. Let me go back to the statement Mr. Rex Dickson himself made at E3. He was adamant that they are making a football SIMULATION. So with that said, I don't see how it's unreasonable for those of us in the community that are simheads to expect exactly that. Unfortunately Madden in it's current state is nothing of the sort. And all the many glitches it does have only amplifies that fact. Again, it goes way beyond minor gameplay fixes and presentation. Lets get the football fundamentals and logic fixed first and foremost. Because in RL football there is no spamming money plays and running the same nano-blitz BS over and over. Players taking poor angles or DBs using the wrong stance in the wrong coverage. Little crap like that should have been eliminated from the game by now. Truly sad that an old game like APF got a lot of those nuances right. How many of you guys get frustrated when you see an O-linemen running as fast as a receiver or DB? Seriously EA? Player stats are meaningless and only for show. And don't get me started on the penalty system or lack there of. Seriously, I could go on and on about the list of problems. But I like many others just want the damn game fixed to accurately replicate the sport we love. If EA is going to be the only game on the block then I want it to make me forget past games like 2k5 or any other title from the past. As it stands, it's really sad that Madden has been in existence for 25 + years and all we get are roster updates, same stiff animation system, sloppy football physics and logic, and refurbished features from past games. Simply unacceptable.
        You can't compare M15 to 2k5 graphically come on now!

          With that entire post, this is all you have to say? I'm not sure he was even comparing graphics. Reading the post, he seemed to have been comparing general animations and cloth animations between madden and that other game. The rest of his post was touching on aspects other than graphics.

          If your going to quote the guy and respond, you should at least respond to his post.

            Those areas of the game should be completely separate jobs for completely different types of employees, not a situation where your manpower has to suspend work on one element to work on the other.

            From an outsider's perspective, it just seems like Tiburon either aren't hiring or aren't assigning enough people to work on those parts of the game.
            That could be it, but way the game has been programmed ( essentially for the last decade ) could be what's holding back the animations. Think about it. The visuals have never really been a problem for Tiburon. The visual weren't the problem last gen. The visuals didn't take a step back when the 360 debuted in 2005. The animations did; the feature set did. We still ( to this day ) don't have the ability to set up formation substitutions in the pause menu, and we had individual defensive assignments only to have that feature taken out of the game. The animations took a nose dive as soon the 360 debuted, and they didn't get better from year to year.

            Hey, maybe the animations will be fixed next year. Maybe they'll be fixed the following year. I just think that whatever Tiburon did to screw up the animations ( during the last console generation ) is something that couldn't be corrected in two development cycles. I want to at least give the dev team enough credit to assume that they're not happy with the quality of the animations. I also want to believe that it's at the top of their priority list.

            Or the animations may never be fixed.

                  So far, that goes against your own track record.

                        What is amazing, sad, and unacceptable is that the "other" game actually had animated jerseys that gave the illusion of there being jersey physics. 7 years ago.....STILL not and never have been in Madden. Hell you could even see the rain bouncing off the players helmets 7 years ago, and the actual real players with their real equipment on the sidelines, instead of African American Andy Luck with zero equipment and high socks.

                              I see huge improvement in many areas from 25. Still a lot of work to be done, but like the direction the game is going.

                                Not only did the rain just bounce off of the helmets, but the rain would actually "splash" off of the players while they were getting tackled. Pretty amazing detail for a game that came out 7 years ago.
