So the changes are, in no specific order:

1.) Accurate equipment - Including names, logos, numbers and equipment such as towels. Player specific too.

2.) Refs and chain gangs are back and the move about. Do they interact? do refs get hit with a pss or are they ghosts? Do players run into them?

3.) Interaction with the O-Line adn D-Line.

4.) Accurate Sidelines.

5.) Depth of Field

6.) Improved Lighting effects.

And the QB body models have be toned down. No more QBs with the 24 inch pytons brother!

The football doesnt look like a watermelon either.

That is ACTUALLY the titans 3rd color, the first two colors would be bright blue and dark blue.

I honestly just can't wait to see yellow gloves on the packers or orange on the bears and dolphins gloves and red on the giants and that neon green on the seahawks gloves.

Really glad to see the ability to have these in the game.

Now we can finally get this guy right!

LOL it looks like he killed somebody with his bare hands and screaming about it. I am happy for primary and secondary gloves. Does that carry over to the other equipment and shoes?

Re: New Blog and Picture!!

The towel is fully articulated and animating based on the movement of the player.

I agree the ball is still slightly big but we actually even reduced it in size almost 10% this year. Here it is in Madden NFL 09:

(sorry, couldn't find a pro comparison image)

If we make it too much smaller it means we'll have to re-do nearly all of our ball-carrying animations (catches, run cycles, etc) because the ball will no longer be placed correctly. That is obviously a tough sell - to spend hundreds of hours tweaking animation data just to decrease the ball size by 3%. I just wish it had been right in the first place! Argh! Look at the size of it in Madden 06!

I'll see what we can do to shrink it just a tad bit more though.

I dunno... kinda looks painted on to me as well. Not trying to be a downer, dude, there's too much good about this picture to be discouraged by any one detail, but I really think that's a paint job.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Thanks Ian, that's awesome.

When I saw it happen in 2K5 (and I've only seen it twice), I lost it. This is the sort of immersion the game is missing. Besides, I;m sure you could skip it if you wanted, but I wouldn't personally since I'd like to be immersed in the experience.

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

You hear that fellas? Fully articulated, and what else Ian? Animating based on the players movement. Oh yeah baby...it's on!

This leaves me with one more question then, is the towel move able to certain spots along the waist in the editor or is there only one spot for the towel?

My guess would be off the to the left, off to the right and right in the middle as the options in the player editor for the hand towel.

I'd really like this to translate into moveable end zone pylons ala ps2.

Man please do not waste any time on reducing the size of the fricking ball. When the game is releaased and people start discovering the inevitable flaws it's going to be a "Man they spent all that time on the damn ball size" smorgas board of criticism. Nobody plays Madden and complains about the size of the ball
