Madden 10 Problematic Running Animations

[hcir87]

The knees should not go above the waist !

Players running need to be lower when they're close to contact. Running backs with the ball should try to get low if they're running up the middle. If a RB ran upright he'd be asking to get knocked out. If there's an all out sprint to the endzone, the players should be fairly upright but knees have to be lower than they currently are.

It seems right now as though they only have one running animation, I'm fairly sure a speed wr and cb would run differently to a 300+ pound lineman.

I know exactly where that comes from bro...I aint mad at ya cause I too feel often like ripping the game...The reality is if we attempt to give them constructive, well thought out opinions and examples we may be more likely to get the changes...In our lifetime.

I say in our lifetime because I'm beginning to think I will never see a game that will capture my imagination and have the fun factor that NFL2k5 gave us back in 04...Even in the midst of NFL2k5 I was still a Madden dude thinking 2k5 was paving the way for a new era in Madden...But much to my surprise here we are 6 years later still comparing Madden 10 to 2k5...Mind boggling

I agree with the height of the knees BUT i heard from Ademroski who wen to the community day, said that the players don't actually stay in that running animation for a long time, they actually run like that for a few seconds then change into a different, more smooth running animation....

Jetpac &dat swag, I completely feel you guys.
You know what's really sad, is that we have to point this out to them, like they don't have eyes & can't see it! Like they don't have (or can't get) qualified individuals on their payroll, who understand the laws of physics, & can implement them into madden. All the money they have, or should I say had, being they have spent a couple BILLION dollars so that they can completely OWN videogame football. They have no motivation or reason to improve or innovate, & why should they. . .they will sell 4 million copies next year, & every year. It's one thing for us to give helpful suggestions & feedback, & another for us to be totally making the game for them for free!!!

Backs are too straight!
They should be lower to the grounds...
