Problem/glitch with new QB throwing animations (just 1 example)

[Captain Obvious]

The first picture is Patrick Mahomes winding up to throw a deep pass on his opponents 40 in real life. The 2nd pic is Madden 20 Patrick Mahomes doing the same thing (close enough). Notice the left arm in the first picture, the arm is kept low, bent and his hand is parallel with his shoulder. In the 2nd picture his hand is in front of his face as he's about to throw. The arm is moving and doing extra work for I have no idea what. It looks very unnatural and breaks immersion. It was in last year's game and i don't know how far it dates back. It happens on any kind of throw. short, medium, long. I've seen several Madden 20 videos and it's the same thing. However I have seen some that look good like Aaron Rodgers and Baker Mayfield, most of the time. They have their legacy Madden moments as well. I want to see the same thing across the board. I understand that EA will add more through the year, but if you could polish up Mahomes, Brees, Rivers and look at the others It would add to the authenticity and immersion.

PS I posted this on Reddit as well just to to try and attract the devs attention.

Although it is not perfect, I’m just happy they added certain sig throws but good point

This is a pretty micro issue IMHO. It still looks pretty good.

It's pathetic really, This is legit the first time in 10 years they've updated throwing animations and they only gave us 11 motions to choose from the jump. Drew Brees new throwing motion, which they we're hyping up along with Mahomes prelaunch is way off too.

Eh, 11 > 0.

We get it EA can do no wrong, we should be happy they're giving us anything at all. What a lazy excuse. 2K and MLB the Show and even NBA Live, which gets bashed more than Madden has more selectable animations than Madden, which is quite sad. 11 being the number of choices we have isn't even the only problem, Maybe 2 of those out those 11 legitimately look good. I don't mean to be hyperbolic but the rest dead look PS2 level

Lol I have been a steady critic of the game, and have even gotten in trouble over it. I'm presently on my last life. But having some signature throwing motions is better than having none.

Again. You're pointing the obvious, no duh getting something rather than nothing is better. I'm not asking them to put 50 animations here. I just fail to see how a big company could give us few sig animation options compared to other sports games, and on top of that, those said sig animations are off most of the time.

I think if you compare it to what they've done before you'll get a more accurate baseline of what the current team is capable of in general, and I think if you do you'll find they went above and beyond their normal output.


Is it enough given their budget? I'd agree with you and say no. But what is the limitation here? It's the same thing it always has been: the suits. However, given what the baseline they've produced is, they've given us more, and they've done it for a lower price ($53*). That has to at least be a small thing to be happy over.




*I'm assuming you didn't pay $100 for the game to get it early, cause that makes little sense given your lack of confidence in EA Tib. Anyway that's the price listing for me on PC. Could be due to some coupons or some Origin thing.

I just don't get how they oversee a thing like this. No has disagreed, rather just minimize it. Aaron Rodgers' animation is on point like I stated. Why didn't the other 10 get the same attention? How long has it been since they put in signature animations? What we have now is a poor excuse to boast a "new addition" this year. 2K8 had signature animations. When the game was ending and just a mere seconds would be left both teams would start to meet at the middle of the field before the clock hit's zero like in real life. People bring the 2K series up as an argument that Madden should be light years ahead.

They made videos about motion capturing the actors doing the throwing motions. That's the best they come up with for the cover athlete? Something isn't right at EA lmao.

Forgive me I should have stated that they have the correct animations. I've been looking real close at a lot of videos and I see it but it's rare. I think it's bugged and the animation isn't consistent.

Imo If they gonna boast this as a new feature then do it right all around.
