Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

[PVarck31]

Re: Tuning Individual Characters

Hey Michael, this is awesome you are doing this. I have some suggestions for the Cleveland Browns.

Josh Cribbs: Josh is more top heavy. He has a large upper body. He also wears pretty big shoulder pads. I think he should look bigger up top and smaller on the bottom. Hope that makes sense. Here is a pic to show what I mean.

Brady Quinn: I think he model needs to look a little more stocky. He isn't very lean, more built.

Shaun Rogers: Just needs to be huge. Not his gut, but his whole body.

Braylon Edwards: Needs to be taller, skinnier, and have that "V" shape to his upper body.

Re: Tuning Individual Characters

Nice. I'd love to get a consensus list like this for every team.

Alright, I'll try and get to work on the Ravens.

Re: Tuning Individual Characters

Somethings got to be done about Troy P's hair too



Its nowhere close to being accurate in Madden 09..It looks like some weird stick thing


and I know this thread is about the look of the body, but please for the love of God put the right Helmet and FaceMask on Eli Manning



I seriously believe someone at EA gives Eli Manning that freaking Rev Helmet and mask every year as some type of cruel joke

Re: Tuning Individual Characters

Willie's lower back is something I always notice when I play the game. Its like hes got an extra 5-15 pounds all in love handles


If you guys brought over NCAA's Body edit options and made them bug Free( 09's flat out didn't work even post patches)...

That would help out a lot

I agree...won't there be an option to edit body options in Madden?

Re: Tuning Individual Characters

Colts

SS Bob Sanders-The Hit Man has some major guns, in 09 his arms about the same as Bethea which is obviously not the case

TE Jacob Tamme-He's built like Urlacher, Tamme is a pretty thin TE, more like an over sized WR. Please fix the face also, he looks like a 40yr old man with a big 'ol beard.

DT/DE Raheem Brock-I think he could look a little more athletic, not too crazy about the current build

MLB Gary Brackett-looks a bit too skinny

Also, I think the shoulder pad need to be toned down a bit. It seems as if some players pads are way to wide and looks weird.

This is very good pic of his most players wear their shoulder pad and jersey.

Re: Tuning Individual Characters

I think for the most part you guys do a really good job with the player models.
The key to all of this is putting the FULL EDITOR in for us users.
And also allowing us to edit players on every team during a Franchise.
I dont wanna edit ratings (as much) after a franchise starts, but I wanna be able to Edit Names, Jersey Numbers, and All of the Body Specific Physical Attributes of Every Player on Every Team.

AGREE 100% ... PLEASE give us as much latitude as possible where editing is concerned! The more freedom we users have to make changes ourselves, the less complaints you will here relating to issues like you brought up in this thread.

I used to love being able to change a wide variety of things in franchise mode such as numbers, equipment, body-type, skin color, hair, etc, etc. One thing I can absolutely guarantee you is that no one will ever complain about an excessive amount of editing options.

Re: Tuning Individual Characters

it would be great if we could have the ability to change player models like the old days on old gen

little off topic but give us the option for white black or team color shoes just like we had on old gen as well.

I'll second this one! It may seem unimportant to some, but instead of having the option of mid-cut or low-cut shoes (boring), get rid of that (or keep if choose), and please add the option of having a player wear shoes that are either WHITE, BLACK, or TEAM COLOR. That essentially covers what is realistically worn in the NFL. On any given Sunday you will see players wear any one of these three .... so if it's seen on Sundays, lets see it in Madden?

I for one would love to switch every Steeler's player back to the "old school" look of black shoes which imo goes very well with the black & gold uni's. Of course just to mimic the Steel Curtain of the 70's with L.C. Greenwood (for those of you old enough to remember), I'd have to put one of the DE's in gold shoes! These are exactly the kind of options that enhance franchise mode!

Look at the first pic in the below link and you'll see all three shoe options covered on the Steeler's defensive line alone: Dwight White in black shoes (w/white ankle tape), Mean Joe Green and Ernie Holmes in white shoes, and L.C. in his signature gold shoes.

Re: Tuning Individual Characters

Chicago Bears Indvidual Characters/Team need changes:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)

1) Mike Brown in Madden 09 has dark skin, and in real life it is much lighter.
2) Kyle Orton has never worn "tight" sleeves. He always wears them lose.
3) Oline Kruetz is also the wrong shade, he is to dark in Madden 09.
4) Urlacher's shoulders are too wide in my opinion.And . you guys don't have his tattoo
5) The Bears default away uniform should be all white. They wore that combination all year during away games.
6) The Bears defense does not wear sleeves in the cold, AT ALL. The coldest game EVER in soldier field (as pictured in number 6) shows two players not wearing sleeves. The players make a big deal out of it, and in franchise when its cold in madden 09 a lot of players are wearing sleeves.

Re: Tuning Individual Characters

Let's go O.S. this is something we need to get on! To me, many times player's bodies seem too bulky. I give Dallas Clark as an example, the guy is too big and clunky. RB's like LT look too huge as well. Their shoulders are too broad. That is one strange thing with 09 for 360, the players pad structure doesn't show through correctly as it did in the PS2 days... It makes them look like giant blobs.

Next issue is that there aren't any fat guys in the game. Lineman are perfect physical specimens in the game, while in acutallity, some are strong guys who have a gut (see Cowboys OL).

Hope this helps some.

Re: Tuning Individual Characters

WOW M.Y.!!! ok this is gonna be fun...

new orleans saints, here we go!!!
lets start off with reggie bush

face is 100% accurate as well as many other nfl stars in the game, the only thing i can suggest is that yall add a mouthpeice to him
body should be way more lean, bush is a lil too big on this game in real life he got the bird legs!!! yahhhmean??? nohomo!



colston now this guy is gonna make it tricky for all u guys because lately hes been leaning up but after an injury its clear as day that he has gain more weight, tough cookie...



drew brees, this one is easy, because everything is correct on him, hell all of the qb's are perfect for the most part, but i just wanna see drew's facial "mark", im not being funny, yall kno what im talking 'bout, u can see it just a little but i think it needs to be a bit more defined:


oh and i dont kno if this relats to the topic but the saints have these golden gloves and shoes that they wear at home game mainly bush and colston, man i would give u my stimulus check if u put those in the game!!!!seriously!





hope this helps, and thanks to all of u guys for taking our opinions and thoughts!!!!
