That may be so. And it's my fault for interpreting Rex's comments the way I did. But taken in its entirety, even though the blogs did pep me up some (love the gangtackle potential), I still feel underwhelmed by the Madden news today. I wasn't expecting anything earth shattering, just a little more (especially presentation, which still may come...) I guess. I wanted to hear about more authentic broadcast elements, fan AI and stadium specific stuff like NHL has. Stuff that creates immersion. I know that's not Rex's area, but still...

Well, yeah, I hear you, but obviously, they still have presentation to show. They need to keep the momentum going until the game is released.

True Gang Tackling is huge! Can't wait too see how it plays out. If the physics are cleaned up then this could be a game changer.

Madden just can't get smooth animations. The trailer isn't as bad as the e3 conference stuff. But it's just full of sliding and jerky type movements.

The conference footage is here:

You can see from the developer blogs that theu are trying to focus on more realism..

With that said, they still have not found a way to fix the clunky animation system and locomotion.

For this game to look and feel fresh, they need to completely re-write the animation system for movement. This game needs to animate as smoothy in motion as PES soccer, FIFA, NBA 2K etc...

When that happens, all these other nice additions should look a lot better.

Two Key things for Madden to turn the corner:

1. All new locomotion and player movement sytem.(This includes a complete re-write to player movement AND the way they animate in motion)

2. Player Specific Traits and Animations- Madden needs to adapt the NBA 2K player differentiation system (badges) and add thousands of player specific animations for ALL positions on the field.

The animation and movement system has been the glaring weakness since 06'. If they can figure that out we may be on our way to a great football game again.

This MUST be the number one focus next year.

Question I got though, is that blizzard snow the only snow setting in the game again for like the 9th year in a row?

You figure that dudes who watch football and then make a football game for a living are gonna know not every snowfall is a doggone snowstorm.

Blogs sound great but the game in motion still leaves a lot to be desired .. EA still far behind the curve when it comes to organic movement ...

Re: Madden NFL 16 E3 Gameplay Trailer

The blogs have me cautiously optimistic. I'm perfectly OK with very minimal upgrades to the graphics if the game animates better and they execute at least 75% of what's in those blogs well.

The WR/DB interactions look nice. Makes a big difference.

Are Nantz and Simms out? The commentary through the trailer makes me wonder. Maybe it was just a decision for the trailer.

Still ugly QB dropbacks... UGH...

Totally agree...and when Eli was running just didn't pass the eyeball test to me.

Seen this vid earlier and facepalmed in my head at the same ole Madden animation stiffness and herkijerkiness (one word). Finished all the blogs, tho - Left eyebrow went up. I loved what I read. Rewatched the vid - Mental facepalm again but just watched the E3 conf vid - Ok, I can deal.

I'm going to be as objective here as I possibly can be. The game looked pretty horrible in the trailer compared to what I played 35+ hours of. The game feels and IMO looks more like what you hear in the blogs. I spent HOURS in replay with Madden 16 just looking at the organic nature of everything and how fluid some of the new animations look, there's just so much to see that I could spend all day in replay and still was discovering new things on the last day I played. I'm not sure what's the deal with QB dropbacks but I know they felt different when I played than in the past, rollouts are a lot smoother, handoffs, just a lot of little things this year that added all together make a big difference. I'll just say overall keep an open mind, but the trailer doesn't do this game justice IMO at all. The other footage shown on the E3 demo was a little better as far as WR/DB interactions.
