Madden NFL 11 Video Interview: Ian Cummings Talks Dual Stick Controls

[xNYGx]

The one thing that's bothering me with the new locomotion, is that players don't seem like they're running on the ground. It seems like they're on ice skates. Maybe I'm stupid, though.

@Bootzilla LOL, Like trying to move your arm after its been cut off.

Well, not quite. If u press up with the right stick, for more of an elusive runner, it will randomly do an animation that may include a spin and u don't necessarily have control over when it will happen. Not the same deal here.

That's been a problem in Madden for awhile now. However some of the animations where the HB slides over a tackle are just from old footage, and we haven't had the opportunity to see the new footage yet. It was one of the first things I noticed from the Drew Brees videos.

The locomotion looks much better in NCAA at this point because they are about a month ahead of Madden in terms of development. You should refer to the new NCAA videos to get a more accurate assesment of what it will end up looking like. IMO it looks great and I think it will make a world of difference in the gameplay.

Also, I completely agree that Madden should make stiff arm right trigger since it is not vacant. Someone with a Twitter should send that suggestion to Ian and direct him to this thread.

Did and done. Cant hurt for more people to hit him on twitter with it though.

How do you know its old footage? your saying the "new" footage that came out is "old"?

Usually it's from older builds. Unless we know an event is recent, we shouldn't take the build as is.
