Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

[DMczaf]

Not related to players, but they are characters. Have you guys started modeling the new head coaches?

Is there any way to ask the new coaches what they would wear during the season so you know what to aim at?

Haloti Ngata (340 lbs) looks skinnier than Kelly Gregg (300 lbs). I know he's more muscular than Gregg, but he should still look a lot bigger. I forget if it was already fixed, but at one point, Ngata's skin looked too dark and he pretty well looked black (might've been 08). Haruki Nakamura's skin colour was also way too dark. I'll pop the game in to check.

49ers:
1. Frank Gore- his legs need to be thicker and his whole body more like a square shape.
2. Patrick Willis- something about his shoulders doesn't seem right. Not quite sure about that one.
3. Isaac Bruce- skinnier and more ripped arms. You can really see his veins and muscle structure because he is so skinny. If you are in charge of this also; Bruce is almost always smiling.
4. Nate Clements- his biceps are more round and defined. His arms look bigger than most cornerbacks, but not Brian Dawkins size. His skin is also lighter in real life.
5. Justin Smith- he wears his jersey tight and has a little bit of a belly.
6. Shaun Hill- again I'm not sure if you are in charge of this or if it is possible; his jersey sleeves are loose and his rib protectors make him look thicker around the ribs but with a small waist.
7. Vernon Davis- his legs and arms need to be thicker. He should look like a horse when running down the field.

Kendall Langford, Dolphins DE, weighs about as much as fellow Fins DE Phillip Merling, has two inches of height on Merling, but looks much fatter than Merling. Langford's slightly lankier than him.

A lot of them look like receivers to me. Receivers: The powerful and aggresive ones need to be a lot thicker, for example TO or Anquan Boldin, these guys are 220-230, they don't look much bigger than guys that are 190 in my opinion .. Is it possible to have a "thin, built, thick, huge" kind of frame related system, and be able to edit our player's proportions from that? I think that would solve a lot of people's issues with what someone is built like

true but felix jones looks a little to big.

Um I think Steve Smith should be look at he's a little guy but he has muscles on his arm which helps him push off Cb in real lifeand steve is really light. Um can something be done about the darker players in 09 sometimes I thought they were blue because they were so dark.

More than anything, I would say Defensive Tackles in general need to have more "heft" on them. I have two DT's on my team that are 300+ lbs, one being 320+, and both of them appear more like a body-builder than a large DT. Defensive Ends tend to be long and lean, but DT's are typically shorter, and definitely more robust (i.e. round).

I find most skill players (QB, RB, WR, TE, DB, LB) appear to look pretty realistic in general, but lineman could use a little work. In reality lineman are very large and the game should represent that.

Thanks for your efforts!
