That can't be next gen for the Dolphins and Saints. That looked the same as the PS3.

The official trailer looked good imo.

Sooooo pretty!

Wooo not a MILLISECOND of actual gameplay. Love me some smoke and mirrors hype. :nod:

ON THE CROWDS
In the past, we could only render 16 crowd characters on cards. Now they’ll be 3D, and we’re going to create crowds that have indiscernible patterns to where it feels like there are tens of thousands of people in the stands.


Funny b/c I see the same African-American man with a red baseball cap at least 10 times in that screen shot.

Yeah. That is pretty much the same shit that 2k has been doing in their NBA games for 4 or 5 years now. :smh:

Well, at least we now have some "official" info :D :sf: will be most pleased I am sure :nod:

Very frustrating. It appears as though this game will be carbon copied and then visually updated from the current gen versions. They are not showing us anything because there apparently is nothing to see.

I wouldn't go that far... every year that EA shows their latest games, they always show the presentation aspects first, then move to gameplay & features. It's their marketing routine, the only difference here is that it's more compressed since there's 45 days away instead of 90+.

I'm not saying give them a pass, but it's nothing different than what we've had before... so set your expectations accordingly.

Normally I would agree with you but this video makes me very nervous. Apparently it is next gen gameplay.

The Dolphin unis are still incorrect but the field and stands clearly show this to be next gen. To me it looks identical with the exception of visual upgrades.

That video was compressed so it's lower res Jaymo but I agree. That vid looks exactly like what I see on my PS3. Same weak animations and gameplay. I really am having a hard time believing that was actual next gen footage because you would never tell the gameplay is different in that vid. There is NOTHING I'm seeing right now that would cause me to get a new system for Madden. Every time I've upgraded my system it's to get the upgraded football game(s). This time it will be for Uncharted 4 unless the Madden team shows me something improved. I was thinking of upgrading next summer but that may be on hold if UC4 isn't around. I don't think Madden next gen gameplay will be worth it but I hope I'm wrong.

I'm kinda wondering that since this game is going to be on a 9 month retail cycle instead of 12 months, that we're not going to get all the bells and whistles in the first Gen 4 game....

IF this isn't at a bare minimum EVERYTHING currently offered on PS3 (online Franchise or whatever the hell they call it) I'm out. I'm not buying a watered down product just so EA can brag about how they added a "new" feature which we had on PS2 and/or PS3.

Pretty sure they already said that everything in current gen would be available in next gen... can't remember where I read that though.

I believe you're right on that. I was talking about things like sidelines and etc. That might not be until Madden 15.

I agree. It makes next year's game unlikely to have big upgrades since it's such a short turnaround. I could probably guess that the first next gen Madden game that will be a good and complete game would be Madden 16.

I dunno if it will be 16 before that. I can see 15 show us the stuff next gen can do.
