Are we looking at the same images? Thanks to the teaser, the community now has ideas about major features in the game, and you're telling me that Madden didn't show us anything?

Man, what's it like to carry this burden with you 100% of the time you're on these forums? You have (or show rather) NO optimism for this franchise. What's the point?

Actually NCAA usually doesn't get new features that Madden gets until the following year so I wouldn't expect them until NCAA 13

Now of course after this wears off later today at about 3 we'll be back to talking about physics in the game,animations, what they are doing with passing and player interactions.

True, for many this is the icing on the cake. I guess I'm just tired of eating the same cake every year. I know this was mean to be a teaser, but it didn't tease me at all.

Didn't help. Still photo is too small. Might be my eyes, but I still can't see anything.

To be honest, I'm not interested in the details like custom play books. I just wanted to see the animations clearly, and this teaser unfortunately was vague about that.

Although, if you look at the close-up of the boot, there is a runner in the background, and he seems to be exhibiting the same exact running motion of M11 (all hunched up).

Liked the custom playbooks, other than that I'll have to wait and see how it gets implemented.

Always looking for a sign of them bringing back the ability to bump or play off 1 wr on a play. Would've been a nice little feature to add to a video like this so I'm guessing I'm gonna be disappointed yet again.

My reaction is a big 'meh'. I'm so jaded by Madden now that it's going to take more than that 34 sec teaser to get me optimistic. I know it's still a long way from release so it's hard to expect any hard info, but it seems like EA goes out of their way to hype the little things (a countdown to the teaser trailer, tournament to decide the cover boy) instead of just delivering.

Like I said, I KNOW it's still a ways from release, and all that stuff will come eventually, but it seems like EA is a parent dangling candy at times, and we're the little kids. They always expect us to eat up the candy, but when it's been sour candy the past few years...yeah. I think that analogy was stretched abit, but you get my point. Things like teaser vids don't get me hyped anymore for Madden, just make me worry more if EA will finally focus on the right things this year.
