Madden NFL 10 Video: New Features Walkthrough (Gametrailers)

Re: New Vid on Gametrailers

Nice to see a bit more gameplay footage. Game still doesn't seem to convey the sense of speed/chaotic/random nature of an NFL play imo, but I'm sure my perspective is a little different than most here. Really not worried about the warping tackle late in the vid; sure that's an anomally and will get cleaned up. But a lot of Pro-Tak to date seems to be the same/similar with the way gang tackles occur. Will be interested to see extended gameplay video to see how it all really plays out. Really liked the camera angle at the 4min mark ( I think); presentation overall looks much improved for a Madden title. Still think they could afford to do less detail in the players and put more resources to [surroundings] but guess that wouldn't fly with a lot of people.

I agree...

While the presentation stuff looks really good. Gameplay movements still kinda looks like 09? The QB handoff to RB transition needs to be smoother, still looks herky jerky. I guess running animations just need a complete overhaul IMO... Oh and the socks need to be longer without a doubt, serious. It makes such a huge difference!

Re: New Vid on Gametrailers

Don't you love how those game channels, like GT and g4, treat sports games like the red headed bastard stepchild, despite wiping the floor with their favorite geek *** RPG or Dance Dance Revolution in sales every year.

Good sales doesnt always equal a good game. You mention RPG's, well despite selling less than Madden, Fallout 3, an RPG, is by far a better product than anything EA has ever produced, ever.

With that said, im thinking Madden 2010 is gonna be a good overall product, sports title or not. Heres hoping for a good Madden, finally.

Re: New Vid on Gametrailers

I'm pretty sure that what he's talking about is how when the QB walks up to the center, he'll stop and squat down about a yard away from the center then magically slide/scoot into his pre-snap position. It's a minor annoyance, but still one that makes it feel that you're playing an under-polished game.

The thing is that once you notice it, you always notice it, and it's an animation flaw that happens every single play. I've always noticed it and would love to see it fixed, because I'm sure it's just changing a tag on that animation so that it aligns properly. If it's not fixed, no biggie, but it's still a flaw.

If fatigue does play a greater role, do you think that say, number 73 is fatigued then a window would pop up and say "#73 is fatigued would you like to sub?" Or some such business. That would be pretty cool right?

Sorry for being so incoherent I can't really get out what I'm trying to say in a smooth manner.

I don't know but that is an EXCELLENT idea.

It looks like the Steelers are going to wear black shoes instead of the white shoes

i guess i'll post it here too. those screens are pre cleat update in that video. if you look at the cleats they are contain no design to them.........that is why i think that video is an older of protak as well

I wish we could turn off that big red ball-landing circle. I'm sure some people use these markers, but they do nothing for me at all.

Plus, I don't like the increase in size of it in 10... just wish I could turn it off, it's kind of an eyesore to me. I thought the one we had from previous years was just fine.

I heard no. Ian said it was wanted, but won't be in this year.

thats ok i can wait on that one, also can wait on variable refs, i.e. some refs more prone to call offsides, pass interference etc (kinda like strike zones in The Show)

I'm hearing a lot talk about ProTak and all of these other exciting features, wich is awesome but! it just seem like every year no one truly talks about " Improving The Haltime Presentation" wich i don't understand how this is over looked for so many years, the same way i felt about Madden not having any Refs in the in the game, and now Madden finally have Refs in the game. Maybe it's not a big issue for EA but for true football fans, I guarantee if EA fixes this problem it will make the Madden playing experience a lot more exciting. To this day i have to say " NFL 2K " hands down will always top Madden as far as animations go. I really hope EA can do something about this.

We haven't gotten much info on Presentation yet. Wait until E3. What we do know is that there IS a highlight show in place called Extra Point or something to that effect.

Hang in there, this information hasn't been released, yet.

They might make an announcement at E3, which is June 2-4th

Awesome to hear, I can't wait to see the final touches on Madden10. I'm just hoping EA finally answer our prayers.

I sure hope that was an alpha version of the game. the part where the gang tackle took place, near the end zone, and there was a frame rate skip/speed up. that's not good.

Thanks for the clarity. When I saw that...it scarred me a little. I can just see that being a big problem.
