Looks good. Wish brown would have tried to do something though instead of just standing there being in the way. Makes me think WRs should have a block rating that's makes them more or less likely to go after people on run plays.

I've watched every vid I could find from E3, sometimes more than once, and I think I have seen everything I need to see.

The game is still Madden, but it looks very much improved IMO. I know that the game is still alpha but let's real there really isn't that much time left before going gold so basically we can expect what we see here with things tuned and tightened up a bit, and that's fine. This looks good. It is still Madden, but it is the best I have seen Madden look in a long time.

I think this will be a good, fun game this year. Hopefully the gameplay sliders are all effective

Wish Brown would have tried to block on that long run play. Him just standing there watching the play looked awful

I actually kind of like the way Brown handled the play. It didn't really look good because he didn't react. At all. To anything. But had there been some kind of urgency after Bell broke free it would have looked a lot better. I've seen a lot of plays like that, especially out of receivers, where they feel like the play ends and then they're almost surprised to have to keep playing when had they been playing the whole time it could have been huge.

All in all, yeah it looked bad but, to me, that wasn't a completely illogical sequence.

At least he bounced off of Brown instead of running right through him. I don't remember seeing any body parts clipping through other bodies in any of the videos so far. Anybody else notice any of this in any vids? Did they work on this in 16. I'd see it quite often in previous versions.

Agreed. That's the only thing about this GIF that bothers me. Everything else looks really good. The speed, the animations, it looks a lot more fluid.


The fact Brown though is clueless about what's going on around him worries me a bit. You do sometimes see that on Sundays with WR's not really putting forth much effort on blocking. This though, I doubt was that.


It's almost as if Brown though Bell went down, it looked like he was wandering back to the huddle. Hopefully it's just a small little programming issue they can iron out to make him more aware.

I was uploading the very same animated gif: after seeing that, how can anybody pick up this videogame and still play it, knowing that something like that can happen... is way beyond me.
Even worst, hearing developers proudly claiming in interviews that they are going for a 'simulation' approach... please.

I understand it's alpha gameplay... but please please.
Block awareness is not something that you should add in the last development stretch of the 25th/26th/whatever-enth iteration of your simulation.

I understand your point of view, but as the receiver clearly sees what's happening, there is not excuse here.
