Madden NFL 10 Trailer

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

I feel better after reading that.

The trailer looked a lot like past Madden trailers, despite some improvements. The animations were underwhelming, especially for the quarterbacks.

My expectations have been lowered, but that's probably a good thing at this point.

Me too.

Hitman, I don't think this trailer was put together by someone who is at all concerned with our opinions. It looked like the game was manipulated to create "wow" moments. There is some cause for concern, the video was pretty underwhelming, but I don't really think this is an accurate representation of what the final product will look like on my tv, on all-madden.

what does it matter if he looks like a crab from the waist down?

It's still a neat addition and helps give us the authenticity we want. Although I would like to hear an explanation as to why they have to crouch when they throw. I can't imagine anyone thinking that was a good idea...

Exactly.

Good way of summing all of this up.

I can understand people saying Hood turned on a dime.

I cant understand how they think that a 5 yard(at most) gap couldnt have been closed because Holmes had to look over his shoulder and then make a very awkward type of catch. I would have been upset if Holmes kept running at full speed while making that catch because it was thrown slightly behind where he ran to and its a hard catch to make while moving in stride.

BTW there is a clipping issue with that catch animation. Its very small but you can see Homles left arm as he reaches to catch the ball go inside his equipment.

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

Thats nice.. The problem i see here is why is all 4 defenders doing the same thing? Why isn't 1 grabbing the legs or 1 trying to jump on top?? They look like they are huddling for a play.. Actually it looks more like a Rugby game!!?? Football or Rugby?? Somthing just doesn't look right..

Wasn't there a discussion of how off Dockett looked in 09? Looks like 09's player models to me.



Edit: I think I've figured out what makes the players look so out of proportion... The feet.

Was the Madden 09 trailer reaction this bad?

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

... just sayin'

Hm are you implying that those two shots look similar? Because there's a lot that is very different between them.

I feel like we can agree the throw animations (disclaimer: in the trailer) don't look right, somehow. I've been thinking for a while about what it is specifically that is wrong with the throwing animations. It is my opinion that the biggest issue is the lower body and the way they bend their knees and sink so low while they throw. It's like they squat then rotate their knees. Very unnatural.





Man, it's difficult to find shots of a QB's knees while throwing.

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions

Yep... get rid of that crouch thing they do and it'll be good. Too much knee bend.

Oops didn't get to this post. My B.

Didn't you guys get the e-mail? Madden NFL 10 has been renamed to "Robot Crabs 10".

Every game will be played on a beach. The main objective will be to wiggle the right trigger enough to avoid giant enemy crabs from tackling you.

Echo!!!! Dont get banned man

I guess the phrase of standing tall in the pocket doesn't apply to Madden
