Madden NFL 12 Video - Dynamic Player Performance Sizzle Trailer

[jyoung]

Dynamic Player Performance looks good, but the rest of this video looks like Madden 11.5...which was already basically Madden 10.5...so I guess now we're at Madden 10.75, give or take a few decimals.

Player movement still looks terrible. Line play still looks terrible. Same old crappy catch animations we've been seeing forever.

Even though Dynamic Player Performance is a cool feature, it's just hard to get excited when the gameplay looks like the same old stale Madden.

Cool video. I like the concept. But I see what Ian was talking about why he didn't shrink the ball. You can see space in between the ball and his hand when he throws. It's like he's holding a forcefield around the ball. The funny thing is that with the new catch animations that doesn't appear to be the case. I know it sounds petty, but it really is evident in the replays. Overall, it does appear that Madden has upped it's game again....

It was just like that, vs the Giants, in real life at the Meadowlands. Thank goodness for Desean Jackson.

Just don't get any sense that [the things they're adding that's new] is instilling any sense of player individuality. Still, will like to see how it looks during actual gameplay

I did see a double-team block in the video, so, it wasn't all one vs one all the time.

A few pages back, this was posted about Eli.

Eli was tuned after this video

This. I'm guessing all these gameplay movies are on rookie with normal/fast speed and default threshold. I personally ALWAYS use sliders (well, who doesn't on this board?) and Slow speed with threshold, so the quick jankiness I see in these trailers doesn't bother me, because you can fix it.

Yea I went back to the video and looked at it again. I can see what you are saying. But once you start playing the game. I'm sure your not going to pay much attention to it or notice it for that matter.

I still saw no double team blocking on the pass plays. I don't think it's been programmed in the game.
