Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

12:25 PM - February 7, 2009 by Michael_Young_EA

This week we are starting to go through the rosters and tune each individual player's body to match their real life counter part.

I know as a fan when one of your favorite players is wrong it can take you out of the experience.

So the question to you is: Which players need the most work? Please give specifics. On the flip side are there any players you wouldn't touch?

Thanks as always,

Mike Y

Let's bump this back up, maybe a Developer will notice this.

I just want to see the diffenrence in wr,cb and rb that are 6'0 or lower compared to players who are 6'3-5. for instance when westbrook is next to the o-line he should be at least to there shoulders and when he runs he should be able to duck behind them making it harder for the defense to get to him

can we please not have mcnabb wear that double wrist? and give westy thin white elbow bands with small wristbands? celek with thin white elbow bands, not the romo bands?

Hey KANE, you could probably check me on this, but I swear Quentin Groves cut his dreads off when he was drafted. I saw an E3 vid and he still has dreads. I remember posting a picture of Clint Session who cut his dreads in the off-season. If they missed Groves they probably missed Session.

Can anyone confirm if we can fully edit the players, apperance, etc.?

I think there a many people that end up looking different in Madden than in real life. Another example I caught in a E3 vid...CB-Eric Green for the Fins, had some long dreads in the vid.......but he buzzed his head this year before camp.

So being able to Fully Edit players, including appearances like hair/color/and body sizes, very important.....and including this would make the posts like "EA this guy is wrong" not appear toooo often.

Percy Harvin needs this revolution facemasks that doesn't seem to be in the game as of yet. The inclusion of this facemasks would go a long way towards making many players more accurate.

Just to make sure it was in there...this was posted on Feb 7.

We have heard back on Names/Numbers, then we heard you can edit ratings...............but we still cant Edit appearances ?
The basic menu ability is in the game........."Create-a-Player".....

So it's not like something has to be built to do it, you just have to give the users access to it, like it seems you did for almost everything else ?!?

Not sure if anyone has said this but Mario Williams could use some work. The guy is a freak of nature and that should be represented in Madden. Thanks guys! All your work on here really shows you guys care about making this the best Next Gen Madden possible.

Also, I have said this a few times but I am really hoping that this year you guys finally fix the problem where anytime you edit a player, some of their stat information (college, draft position, etc.) gets erased. Why put the info in the game if everytime we edit someone it gets erased? Hope you guys can fix that. Thanks again!

Thank you so much Mr. Young, I just had one question. I will be planning on purchasing both Madden 2010 and NCAA 2010. I'll be importing draft classes and one of the things I noticed last year was that some of the prospects came in undersized. For instance Tyson Jackson at 290 lbs looked like he was 260-270. Shonn Greene at 230 lbs looked like 200 lbs. I just wanted to know if this has been tuned.

Thanks

# 310 Mr_Riddick @ 06/06/09 07:08 PM

some of the tight ends look larger than they really are.

# 311 PantherBeast_OS @ 06/06/09 07:20 PM

Sweet can't wait. Thanks young. The game is only 2 months away. Getting closer.

# 312 maxamilian 27 @ 06/06/09 07:30 PM

the love handles on every player is very annoying. It has been in madden for years for some reason. The skill players in this game should not have the extra weight on their sides. Sock length should also be addressed. trust me. If you fix these 2 things the player models will be enhanced signifigantly. Colored cleats proved this already!

# 313 icomb1ne @ 06/06/09 08:16 PM

The back of the Seahawks helmet is STILL wrong!!!!!!!

# 314 skinnybonez @ 06/06/09 08:46 PM

Josh Wilson still need gloves w/2 white armbands, tape angles, & different facemask.
In the lastest vids, he just has 2 blk wristband.

If it's that serious, edit him when the game comes out.

These Philadelphia Eagles could use some tweaking both in Body types & equipment...Just click on the links under each players name to view their individual Photo Galleries to see what I'm talkin about. You may have to click through to get better EXACT Pics to view because some may be difficult to see as far as detail...

1st the Players who need some tweaking to their Body types or Build...

DT Mike Patterson #98 is too small & slender. He's a short stout,squatty wide body at DT.

DT Brodrick Bunkley #97 is more in shape. Y ou could prolly just reverse Bunkley & patterson's body types. Bunkley looks like what Patterson should like & vice versa.

OL Todd herremans #79 is kind of on the slender side for an O-lineman

TE Cornelius Ingram #88 is ripped but kind of slender. He looks too bulky.

DT Dan Klecko #68 like Patterson is a short stocky wide body. he's too slender on the game.

* Also will you be tweaking players equipment as well? * Hopefully because I see some flaws w/ some of my Eagles pLayers. Here is a list & links to pics as to what they should have equipment wise under ea. players name...

http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/te...donGibson.html

Thank You for taking the time!!

Only big thing I noticed for the Packers is that Clay Matthews hair should look more like this... (he had no long hair at all in the Gamespot stage demo)

And Raji doesn't have long corn rows anymore, he cut his hair short sometime before the draft.

I've brought this up in a few other threads, but I figured I'd try again since this is certainly the appropriate thread.
