    Re: Madden NFL 17 First Look Trailer

    Until I see an actual "Game Play" video I am not moved either way; this video showed more of the real life Gronk, than the in game Gronk, and was more a stuttering special effects show than a Football game show; I am surprised they didn't add in a reverse slow-mo effect of Gronk hurdling the Jet defender.

      This game will never reach its full potential until the foundation is fixed which is gameplay...New equipment,that's cool,gap assignments that's cool but how the overall game plays is ridiculous at times as far as animations and it seems like the dev team keeps giving us the same excuse every year that they know overall animations is lacking and they keep procrastinating like it's not one of the biggest parts of the game.simply are you going to fix them or not???

          After a few years following these forums, and many years playing madden, this sounds like their biggest leap from one year to the next since the 2k days

            I agree there are serious issues remaining on the fundamental level. Unfortunately, they are never going to be fixed completely. That would require tearing down the engine itself and skipping at least one release, if not two.

            I'm not a programmer so I can't explain how deep the rabbit hole goes; it would be great if they could at least get the animations better, but I have no idea how much that falls on the engine itself, limited by its flaws. I would assume the AI interaction is quite complex and deals heavily in calculations, but the warping, sliding, complete lack of momentum and physics needs to get taken care of before the game can ever be "great."

              They wouldn't necessarily have to take a year off, they just have to have a solution for the problems, and start building systems on the side to implement.

              NBA 2K used to have terrible animations, they never took a year off and now they're arguably the best in the game. They just have to know what they want to do, and then execute.

                Definitely gotta see more, but I slowed down the video(as I usually do) and still saw the same bad sliding type movement on defense. Other than that I loved the juke and hurdle animations. Still hate the base running animation though (as seen in the final two clips) Also love the cleat options. Probably won't see mouth guards but whatever, must be a bigger issue.

                What the hell was wrong with the ball in that final clip? Joint was spinning then just froze for two seconds. Used to that type of stuff in a Madden game though...

                  Sorry about that. Twitter takes up a lot of the time I used to spend on OS. I'll try and be more active here.

                    I hate to be the cynic but I will believe all of the claims EA is making when I see them in action. Last years game had a lot of potential but I found that the longer I played it the more issues that became more noticeable and slowly the game became unplayable in franchise for me.

                      Thanks for the comment, Rex.

                      Excited to see the new changes.

                          The trailer has me intrigued enough to buy the game. Its been a decade since I last purchased madden, I loved the tackling animations good job.

                            Why can't madden have the over the mouth pieces like they had on the PS2 games? This is something they should easily be able to add into the game. So many players are wearing these now. Seems lazy.

                              Well at least they didn't show Gronk dance

                              As for the trailer, way too short to get any idea on anything really. Maybe next time they will actually show some more substance in the trailers.

                                I was excited to see the attention made to special teams, however, it doesn't actually mention the return game. The cpu has been useless returning punts and kick offs for the entire last generation and start of this one. I remember playing PS2 and being afraid of specific returners because one missed tackle and they were gone, PS3 was a joke, the cpu returner would have daylight but choose to run straight into tacklers every time. This is one of the biggest changes that needs to be made imo.
