After the developer presentation video, I was looking forward to the game. These videos put me back on the fence. It just looked too much like past madden. The animations and movement are so hard to watch sometimes.

Why did they have the camera crews out there, that's a little weird. Make me think their using one environment for all game modes.

Boss Battle imo.

Get through all the photogs running drill.

The animations and movement is horrible especially for next gen. The game is still a no buy for me, maybe next year or whatever they decide to overhaul player movement and animations. Im not paying $60 for animations that have been in the game almost 10 years.

Thought the videos would be a lil longer. Seems cool though.

Can't wait. I guess I don't look at it as close as others because I don't notice any player movement issues.

I like the additions but man they need to overhaul these animations. Nothing looks worst than bringing tackle and break tackle animations from previous gen, especially when they're not any good!

Same pathetic tackle animations, the running looks atrocious, as soon as I get excited about purchasing this game I am immensely let down. smh...

I simply do not get all the hate for these Gen 4 animations...if you REALLY want to see bad animations, pop in a copy of Madden NFL 07...or 10....or 12 and then run a game on M25 PS4/Xbone...its night and day different and better.

I just don't see it...but then again, I really thought the other game from 10 years ago was truly awful for its movements and animations in gameplay (for whatever reason it looked better in replays...).

I personally think there are aspects of the game that people think are animations that are in fact just due to the refusal by EA to force longer playing animation strings on the user. Its the single biggest thing holding them back, but its not necessarily player animations (definitely NOT player models - as those are without doubt the best proportioned and looking player models to date) that cause this...

Oh well, I have played enough M25 at this point...in years past I retired Madden as soon as NCAA dropped, but this year I stuck with Madden a few weeks too long...26th August can't get here soon enough at this point.

This video could have been made way before the livestream build. We have to see the final product. Can't get too high or low off of every single trailer or 2 minute video clip. The livestream was the most we've seen of the game and it held up pretty well. It all comes down to how the final product looks.

Can't argue with that. Bothers me how they're praising post-play movement when some of the post-play animations date back as far as Madden 08. They know better than to leave that in there.

Unlike a lot of people, I don't subscribe to the idea that Tiburon is lazy. What they're producing (an attempt at a simulation pro football game) is the absolute hardest thing to do in the gaming industry. That said, when they leave tons of legacy animations in the game, many of which were never good to being with, then they have to understand why people think they're lazy. They give people the ammunition to attack them. Listening to the way the devs speak, you get the impression that they're totally oblivious to why they've earned the negative rep they've gotten.

Have you heard the devs recently like in the stream and stuff? They definitely don't sound oblivious to their issues.

People are making too much of a 30 second clip designed to show off certain highlight reel plays. We have no clue when these clips were put together. Until you actually play a working build of the game (or read reviews of others who have) none of these clips mean a thing. I am not defending EA or attacking any poster here just saying how much can we really breakdown from promotional videos?

You had me up to the last sentence.

Rex has been mentioning periodically about legacy issues since last November in interviews and streams. How long of a time period does one need?
