BONUS Madden NFL 10 Blog: USAF Thunderbirds

06:36 PM - May 25, 2009 by Ian_Cummings

There won't be a Madden blog next week due to us all being out at E3, so with this being Memorial Day this blog seemed very fitting to make up for it. Enjoy!

	"Hey Madden fans - just wanted to drop in with a bit of good news and show an upgrade that we've added to Madden NFL 10 - and that is the addition of the USAF Thunderbirds! These elite pilots make a guest appearance in our Super Bowl and Conference Championship games, buzzing over the stadium at speeds exceeding 300 mph, leaving a nice trail of smoke in their wake."

If you weren't trolling, then what was your intent? Or do you seriously expect anyone to believe that you thought that the rest of us didn't know that 2k5 had something similar as part of it's SB pre-game?

That's actually looks tight; the Dolphin Stadium (now called the Land Shark Stadium) also does random flyovers too.

oh wow, I had no idea this was in 2k5. I guess they better get it out of Madden. After all, there's no point in improving upon something once it's been done. Time to get back to the drawing board guys

Im digging all this, I really am. You guys are doing it this year.

But Ian... man... im looking at all these screenshots and still... no sign of any Eye Black... or mouthpeices for that matter.

Iv'e come to realize... my push for Eye Black and Mouthpeices failed.

Just put me out of my misery man... if its not there, let me know.

That's all.

wow madden is stepping up there game, it s funny to me that they got the thunderchickens, I guess them waking me up at 5:45 every morning to practice paid off.

14 Pages, full of responses that indicate many here are seeing this feature for the first time was indeed enough for me to believe that very few knew about it. I applauded the feature, posted a video of the feature I'm referring, and will move on.

No need to be an overtly sensitive apologist, as I'm not challenging anything in the topic.

Eye black is in, mouthpeices are probably a Madden 11 thing.

I think the general response was simply appreciation that Madden finally has such things is all. Most are aware of the many thing 2K did/does better.

I think the frustration comes from folks constantly bringin up 2K with no purposeful frame of reference (meaning, it wasn't to the benefit of furthering Madden's presentation...it was merely "2K did it").

To be fair, one would get the same response bringing up Madden i the 2K forums...nature of the beast, which is why the separate forums exist.

I'm not scolding you or anything(I could honestly care less

), just explaining a likely reason why it was an issue.

That said, and moving on...

I'm starting to get hopefull that Madden could finally hold my attention for a full go this time around. There's still plenty remaining to be seen, of course (franchise is my main concern) but the right things are finally looking improved for the first time in awhile. We'll see.

Anybody whose saying "same ole Madden stuff" is insane.

These are the type of fine details that EA has NEVER had In any sport. Thats what makes The Show so nice.

Good work. Very excited.

Kane!!! Don't mess with me man.... you've seen my campaign.

Are we taking, Fully Editable... Each player... (Edit Player Screen: Eye Black or None).. Eye Black?

ORR are you saying the same old... Drew Brees, Randy Moss, player profile Eye Black.

# 134 N51_rob @ 05/26/09 12:00 AM

Thanks for the second blog today Ian. I am looking forward to E3 and reading and seeing what else is in store.

# 135 KANE699 @ 05/26/09 12:08 AM

Its just on the players I don't know if its editable.

That's what I thought, it's been on the players in 08 and 09. But not on enought of them. Ive seen a number of Screens now and there is no sign of any Eye Black (Editable).

I tried so hard. My campaign is over. There is no Editable Eye Black.

# 137 cedwebb @ 05/26/09 12:15 AM

Love the presentation! I am hoping to get this for the opening games and the conference and super bowl games. Ian, was wondering, if you use this for opening week and we are using a indoor team, will there be some presentation to take the place of not seeing the birds?

In the metrodome they always show the players running out of the tunnel (which is a big vikings ship) in big games usually following the viking on a harley. Would freak out if I saw that in the metrodome.

# 138 Candyman5 @ 05/26/09 12:55 AM

Lmao, there are still people asking for superbowl customized endzones. XD

Then there better be some blimping next year haha.

# 140 Papi34 @ 05/26/09 08:02 AM

I'm very impressed, but what blew me away about this thread is that, even at this late stage in development Ian is still throwing things open to the community and listening to suggestions. Kudos.... really.
