Also sound effects add to the "feel" of running. hearing the HB's footsteps when done right adds to that feel also.

Re: Madden 09 Official Trailer #1
Good Look, I never really payed attention to it before. It would make things look more natural thus adding to the feel of running the ball.ARRRRGGGGHHHHH. That video looks really good...but do you guys want to know what drives me crazy about 09 more than anything? The fact that our running backs always face exactly in the direction that they are running

Re: Madden 09 Official Trailer #1
Oh wow I hadn't noticed that. Well you saved me $60. I'm also going to tell all my friends about this horrible product, kiss your raise goodbye.ARRRRGGGGHHHHH. That video looks really good...but do you guys want to know what drives me crazy about 09 more than anything? The fact that our running backs always face exactly in the direction that they are running:
Here's the video capture:

IRL, a player will nearly always keep his torso / shoulders / head squared up towards the endzone (or maybe the closest threat). Example:

Does this bother you as much as it bothers me? This might be part of what makes you guys often refer to our running as "stiff" as well.
As a designer I am often scared that I might be getting hung up on small stuff sometimes...am I warranted in trying to push this through?
(p.s. I bet marketing is going to hate me for posting this...
)
jk, I kid!
Looking fantastic.

Re: Madden 09 Official Trailer #1
excellent eye Ian. Also, one thing that irked me watching an adrian peterson vid ....
the RBs have different running strides which is great ... however, even when running in traffic he is in full stride as if he's running down the sideline for a TD. when runners anticipate defenders they change their running pattern...
they may stutter step to avoid a big hit, or crouch and tighten up to avoid a shot, or they take smaller steps to be able to pull off a juke or spin. the running animations should be situational, not blanket.Comment

Re: Madden 09 Official Trailer #1
Yeah I noticed that about RB's, the things is as a former RB myself you are always taught to keep your shoulder pads square to the line to ensure you are at your least vulnerable at all times. It's one of the fundamentals of RB play like carrying the ball in your outside hand.
Sort of another art related small detail. Will we ever see the baseball infield back in dynasty for the first few weeks of the season. I loved that attention to detail on last gen.Last edited by bad_philanthropy; 07-25-2008, 07:43 PM.Comment
