Cool vid. This reminds me a lot of NFL Head Coach from EA. If some of those concepts made it into this years Madden, then I'll be interested to check it out. From the demo, IMO, the gameplay and "physics" are still meh.

the dude who made head coach made this madden


And I saw somewhere where they said they toning down on the ragdoll effect wit the engine/tackling/break tackles I hope not, I'm starting to love it how it is

Nice.

Head Coach had some interesting concepts for a football game. Drafting for sure. Back stories for each rookie, rather than randomly-generated characters. Makes franchises a bit more interesting long-term.

There are still little things that irritate me. Ball-carries having their momentum completely stopped when tackled from behind. Cornerbacks and Safeties running away from the receiver after a catch. Just weird little uhh idiosyncrasies that I notice during the demo and videos online. There have been some improvements though.

I may cop, but that's just because I haven't bought a new football game in 4 years. One thing I've always hated about Madden is how as soon as you take a little contact, you drop like you've been shot. Dudes in the NFL don't go down that easily. Also, Madden is still playing catch up to NFL 2k5 in the presentation department. The replays on this game look retarded, and the commentary is bland as fukk.

How exactly are they doing this? Are those just random dudes they found off the street to pose as a Madden character?

seems to me the obvious way EA could've solved the difficulty of hot routes etc is by slowing down the pre snap phase of the game

don't allow the offense to run to the ball EVERY down, and on downs that they are able to, DISABLE the ability to hot route (thats how its done in real life)

this way its a check and balance

and why don't we have the ability to add automatic shifts LIKE REAL DEFENSES DO??? I mean hello, why aren't we shifting to the strong side automatically yet??? Drop the safety or move the lb on the twins side??? Simple fukkn football strategy gets thrown in the bushes

*no rant*

Yo two dumb questions brehs....

How rpgish is the connected careers? Like if im a random cat and some freak injury happens would his career be over early? Or is it all on one A to Z type thing?

Also im thinking about buying madden through the psn store this year? Any way that drops earlier than the 28th or is it gonna be on there that day?

Like I said dumb questions:snoop:

i wuz kinda getting into it again

i used to play tha old maddens when they came out ('92, '93, '95 etc) i also used to play like madden 05 for a lil bit when it came out

but then they kept making tha same shyt over and over plus i wuz thrug with video games

now i had a somewut rekindled interest, but i just saw a video somebody posted on this page, it wuz a player tackling another player and that shyt looked hella bootsy :rudy: nikkaz hands didn't even touch tha other player (no :wrist:) his hands were like 2 inches from tha player and he started going down like he got hit, shyt got that same cheap ass graphics polygon engine, where up close it look hella fake and robotic, i'm str8

last time i played wuz 05 and now i check back 7 years later and these nikkaz still got tha same cheap ass unrealistic tackles? :sitdown: see ya'll in another 7 years :beli:
