Re: New Blog and Picture!!

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.

hopefully so.... either way its still great!!!!

Re: New Blog and Picture!!

Will other positions other than qb be able to have hand towels?

Re: New Blog and Picture!!

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

Holy crap.

I stand corrected. That really is something.

Guillotine must have just melted on hearing that! LOL! :wink:

Cummings,

If making the ball smaller is going to cause that much of an issue, to hell with it. I think the ball was considerably smaller in 09 than it was in 08, so if there's more improvement in 10, it shouldn't be too bad.

Impressive! Certainly shows that you guys are not taking the easy way out on even the smallest things. Great to see and thanks for the clarification!

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:

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.

Either way, certainly not a deal breaker by any stretch.... only noticeable in still shots for the most part.

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.

Fair enough, I can understand that angle of it. Just let me skip it if I want to and we're good. Actually, one very infuriating part of 2k8 was that it wouldn't let me skip some of the cut scenes, which irritated me to no end.

Re: New Blog and Picture!!

Are people really complaining about the fingers on the laces? The arm of Roethlesberger being to skinny? Would you rather have the Alex Smith look, see picture of him in the Niners in this thread, all steroid like? Newsflash people not all NFL players have body builder bodies.

Listen Im all for constructive criticism but if all we have to complain about in Madden , as football fans and videogames fans, are the a few skinny arms, and the QB is not holding on the laces, and the FOOTBALL looks big, I think we are in for a treat.

Lets look at the big picture here fellas.

I'd say thats pretty safe to assume that it wouldn't be available on just one player on the field.

But then again due to the memory it might be limited so that that one or two players on the field can wear one.

Ok Ian, that's enough! Stop trying to make me interested in buying this game, haha.

LOL, you should definitely get out more...

LOL!

What on earth are you going to talk to Ian about now??!! :wink::wink:

Re: New Blog and Picture!!

Wait. So we're going to have primary AND secondary team colored gloves. But ONLY for gloves? What about cleats?

Thats one of the funniest pictures I've ever seen and makes me appreciate Ian & all the new teams efforts even more.

Look at the huge ball&quarterback. Look at the weird way Smith is holding the ball (which at least explains his fumbling problem I guess). Look at the positioning of the LT,LG,DT & RE. They are all standing next to the quarterback but never thought about sacking him or even looking at him for that matter.

Ian if this game lives up to its promise you are officially the gaming equivalent of Bill Parcells! Except fixing Madden may have seemed more impossible than fixing the 1-15 Dolphins.
