There's a certain human element to camera control that this year's game is trying to capture with an elaborate setup of real cameramen and a motion-capture studio. Visually, EA continues to blur the line between virtual football and what you find on television on a Sunday afternoon. We will say that the new tackles do look good, but there's still a bit of a way to go until EA gets to the point of Backbreaker-level fluidity in Madden's collision system. We got to see the system in motion, though without the benefit of a side-by-side comparison, it was hard to tell how drastic the difference is. This year, EA claims it has reworked how the collisions and tackles can be triggered so that you don't get that artificial 'snapping into position' look with players. In previous years, there were only so many points around a player in which another player could approach them for a hit, which often resulted in players magically floating to that invisible entry point to begin the tackle animation. EA's aim with this system is to make tackles and collisions look more natural. Madden is also using the new tackle animation system we talked about in last week's NCAA Football story. And if you'd prefer to find more of a middle ground between custom playbooks and just use the default GameFlow system, you can now choose a style of GameFlow, such as run-heavy and pass-heavy.

So you might assign that four-receiver shotgun set a five-star rating in third-and-long situations, while the same yardage situation might command a one-star rating for an up-the-gut run from your slow-footed fullback. You outfit a full playbook's worth of formations and plays and then assign each one of them various star ratings based on how well you think each play would work under various situations. One of these new features is the ability to create custom playbooks and harmonize them with the GameFlow system introduced in last year's game. Once again, EA was mostly focused on showing us the visual upgrades to this year's football sim, but we've also got a couple of details on new gameplay features. With today's NFL Draft, it's only fitting that we move on up to the professional ranks as we talk about this year's Madden game. Last week we brought you our first impressions of NCAA Football 12, a game that's aiming to capture the freewheeling spirit of the college game with team celebrations, a broadcast overhaul, and a number of other visual bells and whistles. Human-controlled cameras, custom playbooks, and improved tackle animations are some of the highlights in EA's latest football sim.
