Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions
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.
I pitched in HS and I was a QB coach for a while. What I see when I watch that leg work is a pitcher... drop the back knee. It seems like the person who mo-capped the lower body animation (unless it was hand animated, possible) was probably a pitcher at one point. A quarterback doing this... yeah, you're supposed to keep your knees bent, but not like that.
Plus the timing between the lower and upper body is a bit off. Rather than a 7-point throw, it looks more like the torso is kinda pivoting on a base independent of what the lower body is doing.
But my point remains... the arm motion is good.There are two types of people on OS: Those who disagree with me, and those who agree.

Wow. I really want Madden to return to it's thrown. With it being the only NFL game on the market, we should all expect nothing short of absolute greatness. But I am just not feeling it.
The "fight for every yard" mechanic looks extremely gimmicky, the animation system looks like stock trademarked Madden animations we have all come to know over the past 5 years. Yeah, all the blog posts here by the Devs and much of the talk about this year's improvements all sound great, and I appreciate the dev feedback we have all been getting. But this trailer just looks like the same Madden we get every year - a roster update, one new gameplay gimmick - bye, bye $60.
I am not even going to start with the Wii Madden trailer...

Re: Madden 10 Trailer impressions
For you, maybe. I don't know if this trailer was made before or after community day.
Not to say they'd purposefully take out what was good about it, just saying I hope they didn't hit obstacles that'll make for a lesser product come August.There are two types of people on OS: Those who disagree with me, and those who agree.
