Hopefully they atleast learn their lesson and dont push out a terrible engine when the new system of consoles eventually comes out. Sadly, I think that we just have to concede the fact that this is just a lost generation of gaming for football fans. My .02

This is %100 truth, im just going to wait for Madden or hopefully another NFL game next-gen. Im done with it this gen though. Hopefully they are working on new architecture for this game next-gen behind the scenes.

Well, I'm hoping seeing the NCAA videos of tackling will be in line with what we see with Madden tomorrow. I don't see why not.

And I didn't see many pro-tak 2 man tackles last year from Madden, so, I will point it out when I see it. Most of the tackles were one man tackles in 11 or tumbleweed tackling. I haven't see that , yet, with NCAA or the teasers of Madden.

True.

I expect it to have the same tackling as NCAA. If it does it will be an improvement, yet still lacking, from what I've seen thus far.

I'm over scripted tackles. My $.02

That looks like Madden 11 to me. The grass looks flat and there is no green sticker behind Vick's helmet.

Not really unless I'm missing something. This is Madden12 straight up. Madden11 doesn't have that kind of intro presentation on it. It's Madden12 100%.

Lol...Same ole Madden

I don't think cell-phone resolution videos do justice to the graphical improvement in Madden 12 versus Madden 11.

Same here. Baby steps. Maybe what they're describing in the blog just hasn't been implemented fully... I hope.

I don't mind animation driven tackles if they go ham on the tackle animations to the point where they LOOK physic driven. But I still see defenders bouncing off of tackles. I still see those hugging tackles.

I'm not seeing any effort in ANY of the animations. No one looks like they're running hard, struggling, nothing. All of the animations look half-speed.
