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

Re: Wildcat Formation in Madden 10 w/Pics

It always gets me that they release super close up detailed pictures of the game but while playing it we are always stuck with a far out, over head view since Madden has only one camera angle during gameplay.

These shots are nice but there should be a disclaimer that you will never see these details during gameplay.

Until they get in multiple\custom camera angles the only screen they should release are the ones while you are actually playing the game.

Apologies for replying to a post on page 6 of a 26 page thread (have not had time to read this whole thing obviously) but I agree 100% with this...

I was playing some 2K5 and M09 earlier for a piece I am writing for MaddenWars, but one of the greatest things in 2K5 was the ability to set and use a custom camera angle for gameplay. It was amazing how much difference it made...I was messing around with a tightly zoomed angle and got such a totally different feeling from the game - not just different than Madden, which is obvious, but also MUCH different from the default camera.

Having the ability to use a tighter camera angle (especially on running plays where seeing the receivers is less important) is waaaaaaaaaaay overdue...

What part of "IT'S A BUG, AND IT'S GOING TO BE FIXED!" don't you get exactly?

What part? The entire sentence. It's irrelevant. The 1970's logo is incorrect.

Just coming to the defense of a fellow Dolphins fan.

Is anybody else disturbed by the weird bumpy musculature of their arms? In real life, yes they have large muscles, but the skin on them is smooth and simple, not full of ripples and bulging veins. They're not constantly flexing their forearm. I feel like over the past few years the art teams have done a great job of getting player proportions down to more realistic levels than the 'roid-filled bovines of 06, but the exaggerated definition still remains.

Compare:


(If you look at the full sized version of this picture, all the weird little bumps and lines are more apparent)



P.S. I don't mean to nitpick, and if this is one of my biggest gripes this year then this year's game will be quite special. I'm just drawing attention to something that's been bothering me for a while.

I agree, I was just gonna post this. Ian, Michael and to whom ever else it may concern it all looks great. My nitpicks: How can anyone look at these pictures and not feel like the opening of the 3 bar RB needs to be slimmed down a bit? Even though the real picture of Ricky is old one you can still tell what I mean. Also Ian the logo of the 70's helmet is great, even have the spokes from the sun, but if that is the helmet will you guys have the correct colored facemask instead of the teal?

Two things that have already been said that Ill reiterate: Im starting to agree with Kane the visor clips may go a long way visually. Maybe once you get the clips in a nice addition would be to have the option of having a solid black or a team logo.

Also I say it again the degree of how ripped every player is looks unnatural. Even lineman shouldn't be so so cut.

I wonder why even bother posting the pics of the messed up Dolphins? I'm sure a Raiders pic would've sufficed...unless they're worse or something.

Probably because they were the first team to run the wildcat last year?

Right...but look at how messed up the helmet is, and now look at how pissed off everyone is. Worth it? I guess it doesn't really matter to me.

I think people just want to feel special by pointing stuff out to the developers LOL

No, I think people are sick of being let down.

Sh*t happens, bugs happen, they probably didn't catch it until they posted it, hence the ps.

Ricky Williams' thumb disappears. Collision detection.

You've got to be freaking kidding...

Maybe you should all take it as a sign that EA is taking a more critical look at their work before they start selling it for $65 a pop after tax.

The P.S. in the blog is a sign that you have had a positive effect on the Devs.

It's baffling how people can't grasp simple concepts. They get their panties all in bunch over minor issues that can and WILL be addressed. I can't believe we are still discussing this logo issue, even after Ian clearly stated that it WILL be fixed. Like someone said a long time ago, people will complain no matter what.

Looks really good to me. Still have a slight gripe about the ball being too big, but apparently really nothing can be done about that now.

Ian didn't mention the logo issue. There's no need to be so defensive.

Some people will complain no matter what? An incorrect logo is worth mentioning. I'll leave the belt colors to KANE699 (lol).

You have no clue how happy I would've been if they'd just nailed those screen shots from the beginning. But when Ian says in a PS that they're aware of the size issue, it makes me think they didn't even notice how jacked up the logo actually was.

If that's supposed to be the throwback logo, it's not even that bad. The 70-73 logo took up a lot of space on the helmets, with the downsizing and centering not happening until 74.
