1. Much of the lineman are very large in the NFl. Make lineman have bellys and d lineman as well. I.E. Vince Wilford has a huge belly.

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

stop putting wristbands on linemen and use the tape....what lineman wears wristbands.....matter of fact who wears them at all except for qb's

Maybe try saying "PLEASE" sometimes...Barking out orders aint gonna get anything done no matter how valid the info is...You just sound kinda rude the way your posts are written/received

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

Jevon Kearse has freakishly long arms and big hands - would be cool to see that! I would guess he stands to feature in the Titans D again next season significantly enough to get some attention.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but Kevin Williams looks too fat to me. In general, the league's top DT's could probably all use a good look at for accuracy as 300lb's of person can take a lot of forms, mostly not seen in Madden 09.

A lot of TE's look too skinny.

Some S's don't look bulky enough, like Sanders. Ditto for RB's.

Would be good to see proper dreads and hair like Troy P's, and a really strong effort to include all facemasks and accessoried like those top half sleeves mentioned before. Your coverboy Matt Ryan should fuel that as I think he wears them (did I guess right? lol).

Finally, could we possibly get a body editor like that in the old Madden? You could change a lot in that.

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

Wr's like Owens,Fitgerald,Boldin need to be a bit more thicker.

Some Dt's like Vince Wilfork/Casey Hampton need to look bigger (as in take up more space on the field)

As for the 49ers (my team)

Frank Gore- is not called the "Tank" for nothing. He has a thick bottom half and is very squared up top.

Vernon Davis- is a big Athletic body type kinda like T.O. but a tad thicker (not the current fat look in 09)

Patrick Willis- Is a Smaller Athletic sized LB---looks almost fat in 09. Or his shoulders are to wide that makes him look off.

Michael Lewis/Nate Clements- Should be a bit thicker and stronger looking. They both had a skinny looking body in 09.

Im so glad things like this are asked cause it does wonders for the game. I think of Nba2k9 and how well they make players resemble there real life counter parts. It makes you feel like you are really controlling that player. Keep up the great work guys

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

Ian, are we going to get an answer on whether or not mouthguards/hand warmers/towels are going to be in 10 or not? And while on that topic, let us place the towel in front/left side/right side/or back a la Hines Ward, and perhaps the option to layer that, like a towel under a hand warmer. Towel width sizes should an option as well, some players only have a strip, while some use the full width.

Also, how about letting us pick whatever color of the shoe we want. If a back has taped ankles, more times than not the team color on the front shell of the shoe shows. Mouthguards, again, multiple/all team color choices should be available. Same with gloves, don't limit our color choices to a few per team. Of course eye black, and how about one of the choices in eye black looks like the Mueller logo, make it say Madden or something in a similar style. Breathe right strips should be multiple colors as well. And to echo another user, those tight under armor half-sleeves that stick out from the jersey should be added. Just look at photos of Matt Ryan and A.J. Hawk to see what I'm talking about.

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

If you want Arizona Cardinal equipment and accessories adjustment help, I definitely can assist with that.

In general, most players look skinner and moe frail than they should. But on to the Cardinal players.....

+ Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan should be a bit thicker and muscular. Especially looking at the Super Bowl Madden commerical, they look to have the same build as Santonio Holmes. Boldin should be built more like an RB.

+ Larry Fitzgerald and Tim Hightower's dreadlocks are not as pronounced as they should be.

+ Adrian Wilson isn't as jacked as he should be.

+ Darnell Dockett is clearly not the fat tub of lard you portray him to be. Here is Dockett in all his beastly splendor:



Here is how you portray him in the game :

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

I'd say that there needs to be a bigger difference in body type between the really huge, run stuffing DTs (Wilfork, Rogers, Hampton, P. Williams, J. Williams) and the leaner, quicker DTs (Harris, Dockett, Sedrick Ellis).

[MBash721]

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

I agree with some of the DTs, especially Darnell Dockett. That was one of my biggest pet peeves in the game this year.

Re: Tuning Individual Characters

Above all else, and this has probably already been said somewhere in this thread, the problem is that there simply isn't enough variety amongst players in terms of height, weight, and proportions. Lineman are too small, skill-position players are too big. Wide receivers, running backs, QB's, and DB's all have the same body type in the game, whereas in real life receivers tend to be thinner in the middle and more lanky, running backs tend to be have much more built limbs, QB's are typically more top-heavy, and DB's are more balanced with slightly bigger torso's and very long legs, in general.

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

My addition/suggestion I guess is Hair. I tried to go through each post and see if anyone brought it up, and didn't see much, if any. So I'll talk about it.

Dreadlocks are usually in a few different styles. While most players let em loose:


In the game they tend to just stay in a ponytail form. Even just guys with long hair, its usually just loose. So I think in ADDITION to have long hair in a ponytail, we should be able to have it just hang. I also think Polamalu deserves his very own hair. Don't ya think?


Also, will we be seeing the most accessory filled Madden to date? Updated cleats(Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Under Armour all in low/mid/high variations), gloves, sleeves in certain lengths, team colored cleats, Mouth pieces, hand warmers, towels, different sock lengths, eye black(different forms worn thick, think, and crazy John Randle styled stuff), Improved visors(NCAA has MUCH better visors than Madden) Updated helmet styles & Facemasks, Jersey sleeves worn loose, tucked in, practically non existent lol, etc...

I really hope so. These things might not matter to a lot of people, but I guarantee a good percent of the Hardcore players would gladly welcome these things.

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

i would make some of the athletes a little skinnier, like

desean jackson

reggie bush

steve breaston

ted ginn jr

dennis dixon

pat white

guys like that.. the taller lanky faster guys........ i think they look too big in this game.......

like jeremy maclin looked like in ncaa 09.... he looked good and realistic....

[Obelysk]

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

Also Laurence Maroney has dreadlocks but in the game he deosn't have any:

[wsu_gb23]

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

I would make sure most players look more athletic...especially wide receivers, tight-ends, and quarterbacks...desean jackson should look "fast", steve smith (panthers) should look little, stocky and quick....

Re: Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

How did we go from playing skills to accessories and dreadlocks???

EDIT: Forget it, i went to page 11 and found out how we strayed from the thread title.
