Love the info; you guys may think you aren't dropping bombs as for as info is concern, but IMO, that's exactly what you're doing. A lot of the videos you're showing, are reminding me of things I loved about the " other game". Things like the toning down the QB drop back speed, and toning down ball speed on bullet passes while having more of a difference between throwing power in a QB with elite arm and a QB with average arm strength.

I can't wait till you guys get to Oline/Dline interaction. It would be great if you could let the user swap LBs and safeties prior to the snap.

Rich Eisen's official ACC Rating is now 20. (He's running in a suit, give him a break lol)

He's still faster than me lol.

99% sure that it's an 09 screen shot, as there haven't been any officially released Madden 10 screens (if there were, there'd be much more fervor). The trajectory of Brady's pass looks straight out of 09 as well.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Creating 'Sim-Style' Gameplay

one of my biggest reasons I stopped playing of 09 was the unrealistic hyper speed of the game

thank you!

I would have to say 09 because if it was from 10 it would have had Madden NFL 10 logo on it and or WIP (work in progress) logo on it.

I have to say, this is really great news. I've always felt Madden was too twitchy, almost so fast you couldn't really enjoy the animations. This blog isn't fluff. Great read.

You are correct. That show was taken in Madden 09.

I think they were trying to show what they meant by "mini punt"

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Creating 'Sim-Style' Gameplay

That was one heck of a blog [info] for early March.

I just love the number of times the words...realistic and realism etc. were being used. Thanks Ian for the great additional news about '10'.

Tuesday August 11th....

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Creating 'Sim-Style' Gameplay

Well, first, the new QB dropback speed looks much better! But, the new sliders (Gamespeed and Speed Difference) are amazing additions!!!!
OMG, it's so cool to think that I might prefer overall to play on Pro, but still be able to tune the speed of the players collectively!!!! Great, great, GREAT work!

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Creating 'Sim-Style' Gameplay

"This poll proves that people never can seem to agree on game speed. So what did we do? Well first we decided to decrease the game speed by 5% overall. As subtle as that change to game speed may sound, it has drastically improved the overall control of the game. It is definitely easier to identify the hole created by the offensive line. Scanning the field as routes develop make it easier to keep passes out of harm's way. But we know that not everyone wants that style, so we also included a GAME SPEED SLIDER. Finally right? J"

YES!!!
