True gap assignments is -pardon the expression- a game changer.

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.

You're new here so I'm just gonna put it here. Calling the developers lazy is something that is extremely frowned upon at OS.

It's not constructive and it incites problems. Please refrain from doing this in the future.

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.

That wasn't a direct reference to you. Guys like you and AJ are around, and we appreciate that. What he was referring to was before your time and mine. I believe your predecessors at EA frequented the site often back in the day, but the usual unruly attitudes that come from that immediate access eventually resulted in game developers not coming around so often.

I definitely appreciate you stopping by, even if not responding, just looking around and taking in at least the meaningful criticism and suggestions.

The Original Next Gen E3 trailer with RG3 from like 5 years ago looks better than this.

It's actually exactly what they look like.

I like what I have read so far but I need to see it in action. I also hope that the defensive A.I for the cpu is smarter and can do everything that the human player can.

Re: Madden NFL 17 First Look Trailer

And in typical EA fashion they aren't the popular sleeves players wear. They don't go all the way up, i.e. Lev Bell style. Can't say I was expecting correct ones.

At the 9 second mark, number 20 and 21 on the jets has a one arm sleeve going all the way up. Is this different than what your referring to?

First few pages was hoping the OS community have a discussion about gameplay, animations and player model but instead it was mostly about arm sleeves? Smh.

Quite honestly that's the only conversation worth having in lieu of the new footage that is not completely speculative. We can opine about the pattern recognition and gap assignments but until we see those things in action, any in-depth analysis is pointless. On the other hand, people could actually see the arm sleeves and equipment. People have been clamoring for new equipment for years.

I for one was not surprised at the course the conversation took. The community has a right to analyze any aspect of the trailer.

Re: Madden NFL 17 First Look Trailer and Five Things You Must Know About the Game

Here are 5 things I took from the trailer:

- interspersing real-time footage in in-game footage may save you from producing ultra high quality models of the players (that never show up in the final version of the game anyway), but does not make your presentation feel any less suspect

- the continuous slow-motion / fast forward may be an effective technique to highlight the player special moves, but does not make the trailer particularly easy on the eyes (I would not want to watch it again)

- as a result of the above mentioned technique, the trailer does not make a good job of portraying the fluidity/synchronicity of American Football, but instead feels like a discrete sequence of individual actions I have already seen countless times: trick-play / spin / hurdle / (signature) touch down celebration... and it feels frustrating because this does not say anything new to me

- the exclusive focus on a single player (no matter if he is the one on the cover of the game - WE GOT IT, OK ? ) seems to disregard (or even worse disprove) one of this year's edition main features, which suggests different 'special' moves depending on each player features (I would have expected a different player doing each of the special moves and not all of them made by a single player)

- all-in all, this trailer looked to me more like one of those announcements of a new character made availabe in a pre-existing videogame with a DLC
