Madden NFL 10 Blog: Player Momentum

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Player Momentum

How about you first tell me what sort of announcements you're looking for as it relates to gameplay. Since none of these improvements matter, please enlighten me to what would matter.

I would like to see major fluid motions on all players on the field. They react accordingly to the situation. I would like to see db's play better bump and run.

I would like to see better D LINE get some realisitic pressure and swim moves / O-LINE play , pass protecting and run blocking instead of the garbage we have been seeing over the years. I would like to see better catch animations again relevant to the situation ie wide open, double team, 1 on 1, up high, jumping, low... I would like to see better throwing animations from qb's, ...

Defense have better fight for the ball instead of the rediculous hard hit ie see apex video...

Just an overall better AI, play with realistic situations....

I hope all these little "improvements" are leading up to this, we shall wait a see but somehow I feel we are going down the same road...

These were just a few things that popped up.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Player Momentum

It is different, man.

1. There is a whole new team in place, not one person is back from last year.
2. We are receiving information(however small it is) through draft day. The bigger bombs come out after that.

3. We both want a good game of sim football.

I just feel it's preliminary to make any decisions before we see video and what is in store down the road.

New team yes, well not really Ian still worked on previous next gen madden, but the same things he says now about realism is the same things he said back for Madden 08 so really what are to expect?

That is one thing I will disagree with you on.

He is calling the shots now, not like a few years ago when he was a part of the team.

So, yes, it's still different.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Player Momentum

Its the truth, its only MARCH, not July or August.

The Video said clear as DAY, its WORK IN PROGRESS, and people are commenting on it as if it was the final version.

I will also side with anyone I choose to as Long as I feel they deserve support. I don't care if it's Ian , you, or anyone else in this forum.

I guess you feel since Im defending Ian Im only doing so cause Ian is EA lead man.
Wrong I have received infractions for coming down hard on Ian, but like I said what is right is right.

No, my reason for not wanting people to defend Ian is because the more people say it looks great, there pre ordering already, you're doing a great job, the less Him and his guys are gonna go back and tweak it to make it better. And it does need to be tweaked. It can be alot better.

Is that similar to a boss coming up to you while you are in mid project and stating that you are doing a good job? Do you just, all of a sudden, slow down and just tweak the project till the end?

That doesn't make sense.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Player Momentum

stark I am just baffled that you don't think the things Ian has been showing will make a difference to gameplay.

I think you are truly miss understanding the relevance of these things he has shown up to now.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Player Momentum

Gentlemen. It's only March. I have not heard any news on the stuff I want most in Madden 10 either, but EA has been clear that we wont hear anything "big" until at least the draft. I dont think it's time to panic or say Madden 10 is going to be this or that. Im guarded (because of Madden's presentation ignorance since moving to the Xbox 360) but hopeful because of what i've seen so far from EA in the past couple of months.

I don't think any of us can put together exactly how all these gameplay improvements will add up. But they are clearly moves in the right direction. Ian doesnt need to be posting this stuff, but he does anyway. A lot of posts here feel unappreciative of the extra effort that team is doing - to be a prescence on this forum. Im not an Ian-fanboy by any means, but you have to admit that he has been great in communicating the "sim" mantra - at least from a gameplay perpective so far. Would you rather hear nothing at all? I personally like these "teaser" updates and I really feel the gameplay is going to be much improved as a result of their attention to detail. Still waiting to see what they are doing with presentation, but Im sure that will come.

I totally disagree. We have to give Ian and his crew a chance. And from what they've shown so far, the few changes they've made all ready makes 010 better than 09. I think we ALL should be very appreciative that Ian, Phil, and the other guys are at least trying to respond to the communities concerns. Just remember the arrogance of David Ortiz, who basically said to the community take it or leave it. And one more thing about these guys, and I think it's the most important thing...Peter Moore. He being formally of Sega Sports. Good thing man, good thing.

Ya it's march, so what? He's here to interact with the community and if they can give some input on something that can be refined/adjusted before it becomes the final product, then that's a huge plus. It'd be better to whine about it now when there's perhaps a chance to have it adjusted as opposed to having to put it in a wishlist when the game comes out!

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Player Momentum

great blog.... again great to see time being focused on the right kinds of things and going in the right direction...

agree with capnkill on looking to the PS2 version of the game to help make 2010 as good as it can be

People who're pointing out things that could be refined are not hating on Ian, not giving them a chance or saying that Madden is going to be a crappy game this year (at least not myself or guillotine). We're INTERACTING with the team to see if maybe small adjustments can be made to improve the game, we're not here blindly saying the game is crap or coming in without ideas supported by arguments. Guillotine already pre-ordered his copy and I'm leaning heavily on purchasing the game this year after seeing the communities response (even though I promised myself never again).

I"m sure I will get crucified for this, but it's good to see that Madden is FINALLY adding in things that were available in the NFL2K series back on the last-gen consoles. It seems that the new Madden exec prod. realizes that Madden sales have been dipping tremendously in the last 3 years, and that "gimmicks, bells & whistles", along with an NFL exclusive deal won't sell the game anymore but GAMEPLAY WILL! *thumbs up* I'm still very cynical as to how this game will turn out, but it appears the game is heading in the right direction.

This has been addressed in the WR/DB Interaction blog. Certainly, you didn't miss it, correct?

I would like to see better D LINE get some realisitic pressure and swim moves / O-LINE play , pass protecting and run blocking instead of the garbage we have been seeing over the years. I would like to see better catch animations again relevant to the situation ie wide open, double team, 1 on 1, up high, jumping, low... I would like to see better throwing animations from qb's, ...

The battle in the trenches has not yet been talked about, but most folks around here are pretty confident that it will be addressed this year. Though pass protecting hasn't been talked about in great detail, Ian did mention that slowing down the QB drop animation would go a ways into helping produce a pocket for the QB.

Obviously, there hasn't been too much talked about yet. But two of your concerns have been touched on in these "meaningless blogs". That's part of the reason why I don't think you should write them off as such.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Player Momentum

I don't think we should take it easy on Ian, but some of the vibes I get from some posts just seem unappreciative. It wasn't too long ago most of us were truly HOPING to speak to developers of Madden. Also I think some of us just need to really practice patienence and realize this is definitely the earliest we've ever gotten real information on Madden. I hope this game really marks the turn around for the Madden series on next gen.
