Madden NFL 10 Blog: A Sneak Peek at the Wildcat w/ Screenshots

Re: Wildcat Formation in Madden 10 w/Pics

The game is really looking good graphically. Just wanted to give some input though, I think the depth of field may be cranked up a little to much for closer objects and could possibly be toned down a little.
Reference:

Agree completely. DOF needs tuning.

Re: Wildcat Formation in Madden 10 w/Pics

and id much prefer madden play like it does on sunday, then have pretty cleats, but whatever floats your boat =)

It's about details and it sucks to see the same damn cleats on every player, makes them look generic an nobody is saying "Screw gameplay, I just want a variety of cleats", you're missing the point it's not about having one or the other.

And what about that argument "When do you ever look at the players cleats?" When do you ever look at a players facemask, or gloves, or visor? Why not make every player look the same, 6-1 250lbs, screw all that, it's all about gameplay, right?

I am very impressed with the way the players are looking. It appears that "toy" look is gone. Cant wait to see how the game looks when its running.

Re: Wildcat Formation in Madden 10 w/Pics

I'll just give a summed up response to this. Thats what a Graphics/Visuals Department is for. Obviously there are more than a few who share my thoughts/wishes or there wouldn't be these threads and responses every year on OS.

Might not be your cup of tea, but I see no reason to feel wrong or ashamed for expressing something that many want in NEXT GEN Madden that was in LG.

No one is telling you to feel ashamed.

To be honest, Next-Gen Madden has had bigger problems than cleat color since Madden 06.

looks OK.

if the game was made for ps3, it would look better.

Not only is the logo too big, it's flat out wrong. The Dolphin should be centered over the sun, the way it's in the pics is how TD was aligned during the 70s. If that's wrong when the game comes out I'm going to go freaking ballistic.

EDIT: Btw, not too many teams have an RB or WR who can throw well. Ronnie Brown was a QB in high school and ran the option, which is why he's suited to the Wildcat.

The small numbers on the shoulders are kind of irritating, but looks good other than that. Well, the sleeves don't look that great either. I say for a bonus Monday blog we get a model of the new Lions unis!

I just read dude aboves post about the logo, and wow that is terrible. How does that go unnoticed?!?!? It's hard to be optimistic about things when stuff like that is wrong.

agreed... it should be all about gameplay.. but then players couldn't all weigh the same because weight would actually mean something..

if you want customization, go get Midnight Club L.A

This is a football game, and Andy understands they have an art department, but for people to complain as much as they do about visors and different helmets, is ridiculous

Every time you post that is what I do.

This comparison right here made me change my underpants. I haven't got a good feel for the graphics until this comparison right here. The DOF does need some tuning, but this is a step in the right direction.

My point is they only have a YEAR to improve madden from last year, i would rather see them spend their efforts and time on saving gameplay points like busted franchise, blocking, wr-db interaction like they are, then have people designing different cleats.

They have done a good job already making players look more original with the facemasks, towles, gloves, sleeves.

I think at a point it has to be one or the other cause EA only has so much resources and man power, and so little time to drastically improve the game.

True. But this is what I don't get when I see responses like yours...how/what does this take away from the team that actually works on the actual physics and game engine?


This is my last response to this topic.

Re: Wildcat Formation in Madden 10 w/Pics

WTF, why are there lines between the major spokes of the sun? Did you guys just let something out of the bag you shouldn't have?
