Chris: What's your opinion on player models? They look hulky to me.

"Quarterbacks have new hot route/audible animations that line up with how they are in real life. Sim players will probably enjoy the details but competitive players are going to hate how long the animations can take. The Madden devs are going to review this, and may or may not tweak them if not remove them outright."

Stuff like this just pisses me off. Something that adds realism and authenticity, and it's already speculation of it's removal. Make these people adjust to the strategy for realism.

"My one early gripe with RPM is the odd choice to include a very loud running sound effect that seems like it should be in a FPS or action game rather than for someone running on grass/field turf."

I just gotta scratch my head at **** like this. Is it the football bomb from years back all over again? SMH. Just arcade crap they add for no reason.

Alotta good **** in there though. Looking forward to playing the game.

I hope they don’t change the QB animations at the line for sim players. I love that individual authenticity .

Just a friendly reminder, the madden 18 EA Play that all community loved last year was vastly different that what we got upon release.

I hope they don't remove the QB animations. It looks a lot better this year having QB's audible differently and do certain things before they snap the ball.

This is where these gamestyles should come in to play. Otherwise they are useless.

Agreed. Keep it in for the sim game style but take it out for arcade and competitive.

Re: EA Play: Madden 19 Gameplay Impressions

I believe, from what I heard, is the animations on hot routes was intentionally unintentional which doesn't make sense I know. I think the developers secretly like that it limits the amount of hot routing that can be done, so they are leaving it out there to see the response. I think this is a case where you may see it disappear for comp but stay for SIM.

As to the article, really enjoyed it as it outlined a lot of things that many people haven't gotten to see yet. I like the mid air collisions and think it could be in the running for underrated addition of the year.The two notes on defense mid article are kind of a big deal that I am glad made it into the article.

It's not really to the extent of the bomb. It's more akin to the audio stuff they've been doing the last couple of years where when you see a guy pat another player it's extremely audible. Basically like the stuff you see around 1:30 of this video:

Yes that will suck, I tweeted at Clint to not remove those animations, but my feeling is that authenticity will lose out again.

I love no more physic DB's and no more MLB's jumping mid air and batting 20 yd passes over the middle, if it works out.

Re: EA Play: Madden 19 Gameplay Impressions

I tweeted Clint about them maybe taking out the QB animations but I doubt I will get a response.

I was wondering if they could stay for sim and be out for comp, if so then maybe we have a chance of them staying in.
