Love the video but my only complaint is the music drowns out your voice, probably need to turn it off or lower the volume, I had trouble hearing you talk.

I dontknow if anyone kow's this but on madden 08 on rookie there was no suction at all but as you increase the difficulty you see more. I hope they weren't showing us rookie mode, sliders didn't change a thing exccept frequency of which you got tackled and made completions etc. I want to see some footage of all pro and all madden.

@12WaterPhoenix12 I'll be honest, I'm not sure if it is a part or not, I just know that the animation system they use is called ANT, its the same one EA's uses in Battlefield, so that part of the game is not new. Good debate though, thats what this channel is suppose to be about, LOL. Thanks for your comments.

Good Kick back vid SimF!
As harsh as this my sound:
I like I said before EA higher ups and chair people are running the show ... not lead designers.

[CommishAzure]

Evil Arts....Im tellin yall...Peter Moore is the REAL Culprit. If Donny Moore doesnt show up this year with his "RATINGS" then he needs to be next....honestly. Ratings need to matter in a football game.

[SuperTech]

Now the pressure really is on the madden team, please continue to voice what needs to be changed so we will still have a good game. I also heard that that the person taking Phil Fraizers place is the executive producer of NCAA 12, that could be even
better yet for madden.

[TrueSimGamer]

I'll say this, if Madden 13 and NCAA 13 do not have real-time player physics, I will not be getting either one.

@skinsfan2828 I feel your pain. I'm a Steelers fan, but I like to see the Skins do well since they are right down the street. Poor skins, one day the change will come my friend.

[BigMiketm]

I can't begin to speculate why Phil left. My personal thought is Cam is cleaning house if he wants to be a man of his word. Seems like some of the previous devs were focused on making Madden casual. My fear is that maybe it becomes even more casual. Hopeful the Madden series keeps taking steps in the right direction.

[simfballcritic]

@12WaterPhoenix12 The animation system is not new, the only thing that is new is the Collision Based System, that is what causes the animation to not begin until the Collision has been detected.

[PhillyCYOSports]

It seems like just a year ago everyone was calling us alarmists and saying madden was better than ever. a year later the entire development team has either run off or been removewd.

[GameFanaTICK]

Well he didnt take over the spot. If u watch Interviews for Madden 06 through 09. Then Ian became the spokesperson

[TwoWheelsinNZ]

I think all the changes they're making to madden can be attributed TSS, without you guys I doubt any changes to gameplay would have happened, look at the terminology the use, it's all TSS terms. EA took notice and got rid of some of the problems, all thats left is Donny Moore and we're good.

[simfballcritic]

@SSaiyan4226 Very good points. This leads me to believe that Phil left for money, or Cam Weber shaking off the dead weight. Time will tell.

[levigamer]

Roy Harvey, the executive producer of NCAA Football will take over as executive producer of Madden

[TheGoldenDragonX]

@JayMuzic7 Who cares you can always edit the players

[Sockaledes]

Wow big news indeed, as of now forget Madden 12 I am eagerly awaiting Madden 13 should be interesting!

[jcodbf]

Cleaning house is the only way Madden will ever be a relevant football game again.

@simfballcritic

ANT is middleware I believe they created in-house. But they'd been using MVN for awhile, not sure if they do now. You can actually see Ian Cummings wearing the MVN suit in his OS profile page. MVN is the exact same system 2K has used for mocap too. It's the perfect example of how two companies can use the same system and get different results, 2K's being the higher quality of the two. As a sidenote, EA tried implementing the real-time physics system "Havok" in M06, but failed.

[simfballcritic]

@DJ81 Yeah, thats what I'm thinking. I think they are making some adjustments for bigger and better things. It is rumored that one of the NCAA guys is taking Phil's place.
