Madden NFL 16: First Look Trailer (Be the Playmaker)

[RaychelSnr]

EA Sports released the first official trailer for Madden NFL 16 featuring the four cover-athlete candidates and showing off some new pass catching and defense animations.

Many of the animations feature what I would suppose are the more spectacular catches which were added into the game. No doubt Odell Beckham Jr. is a great cover choice given the game's emphasis this year.

As was revealed earlier today, the big 'back of the box' features for Madden NFL 16 were released today -- with a particular interest on the passing game being the big focus in this year's title. Those changes are definitely long overdue for the series, and if the same treatment can be given to the passing game that was given to the run game -- Madden looks to have a much improved game of football this year on the field.

What did you think of the trailer? Sound off and let us know!

It looks we could be on to something...cautiously optimistic.

I mentioned this in the new screen shots thread, If you told me that was Madden 15 I just saw, I wouldn't doubt you. M15 looked good, but its sad to see M16 look exactly the same. I'm not even sure if the animations they showed in this trailer aren't present in M15.

2 things are worrying me. Are we gonna see the ODB catch 3 times a drive like we did with the David Tyree catch? Also in the video what is Hall doing when ODB makes that catch? He looks like he attempted to catch the ball even though he was no where close to it.

It's early and it's just a sizzle trailer but you have to look at EAs past and it's hard to be excited.

What's still wrong with this game?? Why does it still look way off?? Why does the game look and animate so robotic?? Have they not solved it yet? Even the graphics look a bit cartoonish and off, like the Antonio Brown part of the clip?? smh.. still the same..

Looks like 20th century tech.

On a serious note, some positives and some negatives but the animations still look stiff and robotic.

I am excited to see Total Control Passing and this new catching system during gameplay.

Looks like the offensive version of last year's cinematic trailer featuring the DBs winning. Same hype reel. Will reserve judgement until E3 after seeing actual gameplay vids.

I like the new catch animations...if they flow well that's a good addition. However, a few new animations shouldn't be your trademark feature. I've been buying Madden since '02 and I normally get pretty excited about the game...so far, I'm not very impressed. The features sound ok but who knows if they're implemented right. Presentation sounds like it was neglected...and for me, the graphics look worse for the first time since moving from Madden 07 to Madden 08. I love Madden, but I'm just disappointed. Football is America's game...it should have the best video game too.

Yes, it's undeniably Madden

This is worst than the infamous Monday Night football ESPN Next Gen trailer. It isn't terrible, but it isn't anything to get excited for. At all.
