Canned Animations

[FootballDetails]

Will all football video game previews, reviews, and discussions henceforth contain the phrase "canned animations"?

I don't see how anyone will be able to amply review Madden 11 without mentioning canned animations. The phrase simply rocks! It's just a funny, arguably pejorative juxtaposition of words.

By the way, can it accurately be stated that Backbreaker features "uncanned animations"? Or is Backbreaker animation-free, whether it's canned or uncanned?

Backbreaker will still have canned animations I think, just not in terms of tackling. I'm not completely sure, but I think certain animations will still be obtained from mo-cap such as kicking, throwing, catching... maybe blocking?

If this game is completely mo-cap free... please correct me. I'd like to know myself.

no i don't think. canned animations are the mo-cap. if guys want to see farve release, peyton release, and other signatures then the mo-cap is necessary. otherwise everything would be standard with no distinction.

They may not be "canned animations" in Backbreaker, but I seriously doubt that you won't see a one on one tackle more than once or like someone catching a pass. It's not a "canned" animation since they didn't do mo-cap, but you will see some things more than once

Yeah, but it implies that the environment will dictate what we see, not so much a random number that selects a canned animation to play out. That's the big selling point that I see.

I thought games right now are pretty much a ton of mo-cap pieced together. If that's the case, how does BackBreaker get around that? Do they just edit the characters in-game and use their engine to let things play out? That'd be really cool!

well as far as mo-cap my understanding that if forms a library from all the mocap and gets pieced together that way. In BB i think there is def an animation side to it.they had to build there library of animations, through using biomechanics and that's how the animations are done. I think . that is the only way to incorporate physics with out mo cap in my way of thinking.

Let me just say at the end of the year both madden 11 and BB will both be good to play point blank. I think when really comes down to both madden fans and BB fans. Both groups have different opinions which game is going to be better this year. But for me I am willing to give BB a try when it comes out but I am going to buy madden 11 aswell. It does not hurt to have both. Both games will be good in their own way one way are another.
