Is it just me, or did that video look REALLY FREAKIN SIMILAR to this... http://youtube.com/watch?v=dxyTUaqm2GU in terms of player models and lighting and whatnot.
Player models look nice, as does the lighting. Still no semblance of accurate offensive line play and QBs can still back-peddle their way out of the pocket at will. The animations are still pretty ugly though, which is a shame because the player models look good.
At least they got the graphics right on this try. I'll almost certainly pass on this since I don't have time for too many games though. Hopefully its good.

still no refs huh?
i guess the ball is just going to spot itself again this season?
the ball just knows if its a 1st down or not, no measurements or anything huh?...
its cool, cuz i didnt expect these things anyway...
but hey, as long as the lighting looks good... lmao, pop in your copy of 2k5, turn progressive scan on, thats 480p for you noobs out there, compare the two lighting effects...
RACK ME!!!

But your point in general is correct, the OLINE play looks very sloppy.

Fact of the matter is, the game *looks* great. Lighting, player models, turf all look outstanding. Gameplay even seems a little more polished than past years.... BUT
The sidelines still look like ****. The crowd looks awful. No refs or chain gang.

I dont see how the player models look good, look at vince wilfork, ever see the size of his gut? In the game he is lean with a washboard stomach. Its atrocious.

Knowing that, as long as the turnovers aren't an issue, I'm ok. This game actually looks like it's trying to capture the crowd intensity of an NFL game....
That's all I want. Madden is decent but as long as they're trying I'll enjoy the game. And it's obvious their trying this year. Plenty of post play cuts that actually make sense... great stat overlays... lots of nice little additions.
I'm far from a Madden ***** but IMO if you can't tell they're trying to engross the player, then you should get out of football gaming. They're not going to scrap the engine but they're at least doing more with it.

Just watched the video. I have to say the most impressive thing was the presentation for sure. It looked fantastic. Not only that but they even removed all the on screen icons to give it more of that t.v feeling. Everything just seems to fit perfectly. Not sure if that is what the Superbowl games are going to feel like, but there was definitely a great sense of atmosphere in that video.
Gameplay wise, i can't say too much. I didn't really play 08 deeply to get a sense of the animations and new tweaks. I'm definitely getting 09, went one season without a football game and this season i need one badly. Its good to see that their doing something to spruce up the game.

Looks like during the playcalling screen you dont get to see any of the field and players and stuff. That is different than it has been right?
I just hope that each team plays different this year. I want to see the Pats throwing deep to Moss, the Bengals spreading the passes around to different receivers, Romo throwing deep to TO, the Vikings using their 2 back attack etc.
If they can't get the team tendacies right, this game will get boring real quick. I want every game played in season mode to be different. Madden has all of the team's playbooks, now they need to find a way to get the AI to mimic the tendacies of the teams IRL.

That trailer looked nice but I'm still gonna rent it first. EA are experts at the trailer with the music attached.
