Re: Madden NFL 10 Screenshot (Peter Moore Blog)

the field there playing on looks to have more texture or detail to it.
since there is no shadows and the helmets glair this must be some kind of night game.

better body proportions the cardinals de is not the same size as that left tackle the qb dont look robo and the leg sizes are a nice varation from small to big.

the ref is actually facing the play
you can see cleats sticking out from bottom of shoes.

please tell me out of the box the football will spiral and not look like a brick being thrown even though im sad that its not proportional still to big. anyways great additions

Re: New Blog and Picture!!

I already see a glaring error in that shot.

Ben's O-line forming a pocket and protecting him? Unrealistic.

/yes im joking :wink:

My thoughts exactly lol.

This looks amazing. In conjunction with all the other improvements, I think this game is finally going to make everyone forget about the "other game".

That being said, if I had to nitpick, I'd say Ben looks a little small/thin to me. He's missing a bit of bulk and his trademark double chin! :wink: Also great to see hand towels as a detailed touch (for those who really care like Guillotine). I guess some people will move on to the handwarmers (I know Ben's is integrated straight into his jersey), but to see the steps the game is taking this year is tremendous.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Screenshot (Peter Moore Blog)

Very nice touch with the towels. Here is a question, do you also have hand warmers? Might be asking for a bit much heh.





Also don't forget if you do have them some defensive players wear these, primarily DB's.



WR's have them as well.

Ian, next week can you show Roethlisberger passing and one of a running back running? These are the make or break things. If a QB or RB looks like a robot, im not buying.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Screenshot (Peter Moore Blog)

Yeah, I thought I saw Dick LeBeau on the sideline in a grey shirt. This is very impressive. Anyone have a time portal so we can get to August faster?

Eric Cartman tried that (well, he tried cryogenic freezing)... didn't quite work out for him...


I advise against it. Just let nature take its course.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Screenshot (Peter Moore Blog)

First reaction to the post...I was reading the blog and as i scroll down some I go o look its a picture from the super bowl this year and I go back to reading the rest of the blog and as I take a second look at it WOW. Thats about as good looking as you can get....

Big pluses from looking at this picture. Proper Oline movement. The Tackle is picking up the edge rusher instead of the Guard. The G is no longer forced to block standing straight up. Also Line is playing with a wider base which is used for good leverage IRL. Great stuff.

BUT I checked out the two players you can make out the most 89 and 92 or 97 on the sideline. 89 Would be properly represented on the steelers as their big TE so I can see why he is so big but there was no 97 on the steelers roster and 92 is james harrison. In this screenshot I would say he is white and built like a linemen. It makes me think that you are still using the same line from 09 but I did another check and 89 was a tall skinny black guy in 09.

Re: New Blog and Picture!!

Am I right in thinking they have redone the helmets? Didn't the helmets used to have a bump across the middle. Looks like that is gone!

Ok just woke up from my nap and heard that the towels are fully animated based on player movement... My reaction was...

Great depth-of-field shot!

Re: Madden NFL 10 Screenshot (Peter Moore Blog)

id love to see a screen shot of the actual camera angle for gameplay. these close ups look flawless but i want to see what the game is going to look like when we are playing it!!!

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.

Well, what you could do to make it look better without tweaking all the animations is to at least tweak the color, lighting and shape of it. It's too... shiny, like the specular highlighting is overdone. And when I say shape, I mean how a real football is not perfectly round, but is wider at the seams and slightly flatter on the surfaces.

I know you hear this for a lot of things, but see APF2k8's football. Of the things they did better than Madden, their ball is one of my favorites as this is a pet peeve of mine. It's almost perfect.
