The ball boy is cool touch.

I LOVE the dynamic pulling on arms/jersey. This is how the DBs should play the WRs. Bad DBs get their hands on them more and get called for defensive holding/PI.

Very good reaction after the guy missed the shot. They zoom in on the rest of his reaction instead of having cut scenes. Would be good for when a WR drops a pass, instead of running up the field like he has no idea the ball bounced of his hand. He should react like this.

This video actually got me more hype for future Madden's than the living world trailer.

Since you asked, here's an article I found that talked about that in detail: http://www.computerandvideogames.com...ifa-challenge/ Anyway, back on topic. It just surprises me the amount of detail in FIFA compared to what Madden's done. Is it a good starting point? Yes, but I expect to see much more from Madden in coming years. No excuse for why two titles under the "EA Sports Ignite" banner are so philosophically different from one-another.

Thanks for the link. And I agree. I expect Madden to follow suit if Fifa is doing it. unfortunately the wait till next august is a long one.

When you get a foul, the players react to it while one is picking up the ball and setting it to kick off. After you score the celebrations start and you can still run around while they celebrate. Its a nice touch. Before my time haha. Earliest football I can remember playing is Quarterbackclub on N64.

LOL. Don't make me feel old. Madden 92 for Sega. Look it up on youtube. When you called plays you chose different packages. Normal, Hands, Big, Fast on offense. On defense it was just like 4-3 or 3-4 or nickel. When you went to different package or chose to bring in an extra DB or whatever you saw a player or player run off the field and the new one run on. It was pretty cool. This was in real time as you called play. That's 16 bit football that has something more real to life then next gen.

The games I will play the most on next-gen are NBA 2k14 -> Fifa 14 -> NBA Live 14-> Madden 25.

So all of the sideline players in the NFL wear helmets and don't have nameplates on their jersey? Fail.

Found it.

Really is impressive and its one of those "little things" that turns out to be a big thing. Especially because its kind of hard to tell who is in on defense in madden from the standard view.

WOW! Didn't even realize that either! Why are they wearing helmets?!

Like I said earlier, I am a fan of what they are doing. The direction they are heading. But when you bring attention to something but in fact don't pay attention to the details, you end up looking worse. So I hope people don't think I'm just bashing. But they tell you to look at how great the sideline interaction is and you can easily point out 5 things wrong with the sidelines. Now I am already looking for living worlds 2.0 and I haven't even got to play this version.

I remember playing madden when the ps2 first dropped. That kind of got me excited. Last gen and this gen trailers anyway....meh. Not feeling it. If only there was competition for them....ah well.

All that being said, if the ai is stellar and makes smart in game gameplans and calls that would indeed be great. I have a bad feeling though.

The excuse used to be lack of space, now it's gen so what's the excuse now?

Definitely liking what I have seen and heard so far about next gen madden. I think that there is a definite upgrade in graphics and the upgrades to crowd AI is awesome. I Can't wait for this game!
