Re: Q&A With Simon Sherr - Animation Director, MADDEN
I just want more realism, I dont really care about the Replays, its not an issue for me.
I would like better QB animations, especially with the running animation (who holds the ball at their hip when they run, its looks horrible). Throwing, and Dropback animations should also be looked at. Dropback looks werid, its fast, the steps look off, theres no bounce.
It would be awsome to have a differation in speed with this game, it seems like theres two speeds, jog and sprint... football isn't played like that, I want to feel the speed, I want to pull hesitation moves (make a cut, slow turn up field as the defenders overpursue without pressing juke), hide behind blocks find a whole and explode, slow down and relax, basically walk into the endzone when defenders are 30 yards away, catch a ball and spin the opposite way and turn up field, a better hit stick (on offense - lower the shoulder, one shoulder, not this fat body gut bump we see, and if theres no defender to hit, make it into a stutter step, more push the line animations.
More over the top TD animations, more diving for a TD animations (from the corner, or reaching the ball), more cover up animations (cover over the top of the ball with the other hand, both hand, bring it up tight, move the ball to the other hand), better stiff arm animations.. not this bended elbow, server tray thing we see, extend that arm, fully, open the hand, wait for that defender to come and stick it in his facemask, use that same button to point if theres not a defender around you, point out a block, RT - block to right, LT - block to left.
More equipment, team color gloves and spikes, more gloves and spikes, you have an NFL liesence, use NFL Equipment Apperal or Reebok. The gloves in the game are gloves I purchased in 2005. More facemasks, DNA Helmets (LT's Helmet for that matter~!), Mouthpeices, Nose Strips, eye black, Knee and Ankle Braces, Towels, One Sleeves, Back Guarders, Rib Protecters, More hair styles, Let us Edit hair styles, let us edit all these things. Let us edit player models (build), let us make our own player model ajustments, the ones we like. All these create realisim to the players.
Yeah, I know Hesters name and #, you dont really see their face (and if you do, most of their faces dont make the game), but you see the short braids, the eye black, the zebra nose strip, the visor, the helmet, the facemask, the back guarder, the wristbands, the webbed white and orange gloves, the black ankle tape.. all those things make Hester, Hester in a videogame.
I could go for days, but this is more then long enough for today. Sorry guys.
