On one play, Ty Montgomery got injured and somehow he got stuck in the hurdle animation. There were some incidents of frame skipping, and some really strange things occurring after injuries. Some of the things I saw during my review period might be eliminated with a Day 1 patch, but I have to report what I saw in my time with the game. The game looks so good in still shots, slow motion, and most live action that when you see poor animations, they look even worse because it's happening with such accurately rendered models.
In some ways, Madden 19 is a victim of its own beauty. Quite a few of the virtual athletes have their moments in the game, but running backs look the smoothest in action in Madden 19. That's the way it should be in a sports video game. It was a satisfying play, not only because my defense created a takeaway, but more importantly, I could see exactly what happened during the instant replay.
The ball popped in the air, and my safety ran over, caught it in the air with a seamless animation and headed the other way with the ball. A linebacker in zone coverage put a solid hit on a receiver just as he was trying to run out of bounds. I had one memorable fumble recovery on the sidelines. Some of the interception and fumble recovery animations are incredibly smooth. This version of Madden captures a nice balance between hard and fun-to-watch hits and the safer, softer tackles that we saw in recent versions of the game. Also, the tackles are impacting, especially the ones involving three or more players. The dropped passes look a lot better than they did before. There are some nice new animations in the game. This is easily the best example of what the Frostbite Engine has done for an EA Sports title. The art team and whoever is responsible for the visual quality of this year's version of Madden deserves a round of applause because those men and women did an amazing job. Even the cutscenes, overlays (though there could be more from a statistical standpoint) and monoliths look good. I'm more than 15 games in and I'm still taking the time to stare at the reflection in the helmets.
