Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

Question...did anyone see ONE animation they recognized from 09? I think that's what I'm most excited about....I don't see any familiar animations! This is exciting.

I'm telling you I had a negative opinion the first time I saw it but watch it again. It looks great. Not perfect...but if you think it looks like 09 then you're blind. AND ONCE AND FOR ALL the 2k standing running animation is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE compared to this. It's not even a comparison. I think the transitions still need work here but c'mon people don't be silly. 2k football games have the worst stick up the butt running animation.

I can't believe some of you are getting giddy over this video. The field depth has improved, and the Oline and Dline interactions appear to have improved, however, there are a lot more problems with this video than good things.

#26 on the Cards has a total wtf moment after Santonio Holmes ran right by him.

The throwing animations and drop back looks terrible. If any EA reps are reading these posts, check out the dude who posted APF 2k8's QB animations in a video. Proceed to copy the animations the best you can. Lawsuit Shmawsuit.

The receivers and DBs still move like C-3P0 after the receiver gets off the line. No running animations have been altered since 06. Don't try to feed me bull about how it played better, etc, because I'm not eating it.

I am now convinced that the head of animations is in fact a japanese robot.

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

That trailer was alright. I like the gang tackling animations. Some things You can tell they've made some updates on the payers gear, though there are still a few errors.I guess this means no colored cleats ? (But the Wii will have them...)

Roderick Hood-Wrong Facemask, Gear
Santonio Holmes-Wrong Facemask, Skin tone

All in all it was alright for a teaser trailer, but nothing special minus the gang tackling.

I noticed the cleats as well were lacking color, but have faith..they might make it.

Did you notice Edge had the primarily white cleats on?

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

Think it looks quite good to be honest.

I like most of the new animations.

For me though its all down to gameplay. I mean those kind of trailers can make any game look good. People who are going "OMG definite buy" or this joker who's going "NO SELLLL!!!!" need to fix up a bit and judge the game themselves by actually playing it rather than looking at 1 minute of footage and trying to make a name for themselves on an internet forum.

For now it looks positive though - it makes me really want to play the game for myself... so must be a good thing!

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

Beginning to think this trailer was chopped together and not an actual playable build of the game, early or otherwise. A lot of the stuff looks like it was clearly left over from '09. (Look at the difference between OT/DE interaction when they're focusing on it and on the Big Ben TD pass).

This makes me a bit more optimistic.

Why in the world would they do that for the premiere trailer on television? Doesn't seem smart to me...

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

Think about it this way, no one here has to make a un-educated guess anymore since we are receiving news alot earlier then what we would have normally got, not to mention the best news has yet to come.

Now that we are educated we're giving our opinions and you've got a problem with it.

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

And that Hood, looks down field, stepping away from Holmes, than Moves forward quickly, than turns around and is pretty much right there when the ball is caught.

After the press Hood is about 5 yards behind Holmes. Big thing to watch is Holmes has his head back and slows down to try and make the catch. If you look at how he caught the ball if he was at max speed I would be upset. That being said Hood was still to far behind to make a play on the ball so what does he do...He tackles the WR. That is a great improvement over the kind of DB plays we saw last year jumping to the moon to block any pass near a player

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

For a extremely early video I think it looked good. There was more good out of that video than bad IMO. And as the Community Day members said, there are things already fixed than what was shown in this video. So you gotta take what you see with a grain of salt.

I bet their today version of the game is alot better than the version shown in the video. Plus theres still time to fix/tune so Im not taking this as final product video.

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

Im just gonna sit back and enjoy this.

Yep, so am I. I've got the popcorn poppin' and the Mountain Dew chillin in the fridge. Time to watch the show. Some of the guys are a hoot.

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

Seems like people are happy they didn't like the trailer . Like their biggest wish came true.

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

I just caught Holmes short dreads on him in the game.

But Holmes doesn't have dreads in real life...

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

For those worried about Hood looking stupid he was covering his zone. The LBs are both sitting in zone coverage and start to make a move after the ball is thrown. You can tell by the spacing they are apart that its zone coverage. My question about the play really is where is the saftey?

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

Did you miss the play near the end zone where the 3 interior lineman were looking forward stuck in an animation while the left tackle got beat like a drum, unrealistically i might add, and no one even looked at him?

Better while engaged, but FAR from excellent.

That's actually something we looked at. Some of the animation transitions aren't in yet. I'm kinda confused as to why they'd let that go into the trailer... I gotta wonder

I'm honestly bothered by some stuff I saw in this trailer. Some things I didn't see at Community Day. It's kinda gnawing at me.
