    actually the reveal trailer for madden 17 with Gronkowski in it was broadcast on May 12 of last year on Sportscenter well before E3. In that video we saw Revis with the strange full single shooter sleeve. my guess is no mouth guards, mid-forearm bands or proper shooter sleeves again this year. Baked in excuse with the switch to frostbite.

      They're apparently a "work in progress." Still have visor clips clipping through the middle of facemasks too. I will say that lighting is so much better than M17 though, colors actually look bright and vibrant which is nice. Interested to see what weather looks like in 18.

        One would think that the developers would want their pre-rendered 30 second clip to look different from the game everyone has been playing since august though. It's a fair point to be frustrated with the teaser. The graphics and animations were literally the same M17

              This one?

              Because that's definitely from 18. Madden 17 had the fly-wire collars and this looks like the new jersey template. Doesn't mean it isn't altered though.

                I just confirmed with Dustin, it is a screenshot from M18. The helmet/chinstrap threw me off because in the trailer he had his signature (well not signature) chinstrap on, the one he actually wears in real life. In the screen shot it had the regular generic chin strap. Look back at the trailer if you don't know what I mean. But from what I was told he didn't get his new helmet/chinstrap on at the time of that screenshot so it's a old render I assume.

                **The chinstrap is only exclusive to TB which kinda sucks cuz many players wear that too, like P. Rivers, J. Winston, T.Siemien and many more but oh well

                  I don't fall for the "in game footage" or "game engine footage" anymore. With the power of the new consoles Ive just been hoping for a plethora of new animations with varying outcomes, obviously this is just a sizzle trailer but the animations are the same as the last 4 years

                    Clearly not mo cap, that's a promo shoot. Mo cap has the guys in the outfit with the little "balls" on them to capture their movement

                      Tom Brady's helmet actually sits low on his face how he actually wears it. Thats awesome.

                        Equipment guys.. I just don't get it.

                        How many busted game issues need work? For a decade now. But you worry about whether an elbow pad is the right length or color?

                          They're not mutually exclusive. They have separate teams for both. Getting elbow pads right doesn't stop them from working on all the other stuff or "busted game issues." This comes up every year and when all we get is short clips with quick cuts there isn't much else to judge.

                            I'm an equipment/jersey/graphics guy. I don't touch franchise or season mode. Never have. I really don't have time besides playing quick online or offline. I don't really notice a lot of gameplay issues until I read about them on here. Gameplay changes take so much coding and trial and error...Uniform/equipment can be an easier fix that may not take he resources and time. It's based on personal preference. Never understood why it bothered people.

                              Most likely. Didn't say in game footage.

                                It does seem like their feet are more connected to the ground and no longer slightly hoovering over the turf, I hope this is the case but need to see more.
