Madden NFL 10 Videos (IGN)

Re: Madden 10 Vids @ IGN.com

youre assuming tho.. that it will be abused and that it will be much harder to sack the QB. who knows either of those, 2k has it and you can still get sacks.

but sprinting out the pocket is not what nfl qbs do. manning and brady move around in the pocket when it breaks down. not go running.

Sounds like it works different than 2Ks. In the video Ian said the sack animations take longer, and you'll have the opportunity to hit the stick and break out of the sack. That sounds very neat. 2K's lets you avoid the sack before it starts, not break out of it as it's in progress.

Well, I'm excited that you can plainly see that Ian and crew have been working real hard on this game to make us forget those abominations that were Madden 07-09. I'm very impressed with what i've seen. But it just amazes me that people are complaining about animations in these vids when Ian CLEARLY stated that the animations were being worked on.

Which is nice because Ben shakes guys off. Very rarely does just one guy take him down.

Romo on the other hand avoids contact altogether but doesn't really use his strength to get out of those situations

I hope the two styles are distinguishable

Lmao "cheese"/"abused" are starting to get overly used like "*****" and "placebo"

Which means when a QB is breaking out, the defense is still moving in. So you may break the first tackle, but you still might get hit.

Actually the whole damn game is gorgeous, I don't see how people can say the graphics look the same.

Madden 10 is just impressive.

After watching those vids, I'm very much impressed with the progress of the game. And to think that there's 2 months left of tuning....Oh the potential!

The blocking looked great. The pocket, the qb drop back, the animations....I'm very pleased with what I saw. Madden 10 is going to be top notch.

Yeah, this sounds like a pretty neat game play mechanic. With this you should be able to recreate the Eli moment from Super Bowl 42.

The thing that stuck out to me was how much of an idiot the IGN guy is. He can't cover Madden to save his life.

Same, he had no clue about any of these new improvements.

The grass color is really starting to annoy me. Looks like those ones on NCAA - puke brown or something.

Grass is GREEN damnit.

Lol, Has Mike or Ian commented on the grass? A lot of people are wanting it more green.

Re: Madden 10 Vids @ IGN.com

Yea, i noticed it also, but him controlling SH and making an impossible move(goes right and moves left without missing a beat) to catch the ball ruined it.

I was impressed with the solid User-Catch by Ian.

The grass could use some help... its kinda annoying that something like grass would stick out... it should just be a background thing that we don't notice. But .. I think that its probably not an easy thing to get right.

Re: Madden 10 Vids @ IGN.com

Overall, I am highly impressed with the gameplay. Its gonna be a long summer...even longer if they say online franchise made it in.

Re: Madden 10 Vids @ IGN.com

wow after skipping to the blocking video i would gladly go make ian a ham sandwich. its a thing of beauty. like another poster said, it reminds me of 2k5/2k8 pocket formation. i was worried that the ends would never get to the qb but always end up behind him being steered away by the tackle but Ian says that ratings play into that. the better the DE the closer he will get, and the better the tackle the farther he will be. cant wait to sack romo and eli with orakpo!

also i notice that man coverage is alot tighet now. the TE labeld "Y" is being covered by a LB and gets his route jumped. thank god.

when the ball is snapped its hard to see if the animations of the wrs have been changed as much, cant see them accelerate, but you can see them decelarate before making a cut which is nice.

the post route by the Wr on the right is most noticable. when he makes his cut there is no momentum to it. i hope thats fixed.

i was reading this thread at work and couldnt see a video so i couldnt wait to get home, and man oh man, cheesers beware, the pocket will definitely change your game up and make you read a defense and rush. IAN you have earned your paycheck!

THIS IS THE YEAR!!!!

edit: one more thing, when the defensive end is close enough to the qb whether hes still engaged with the tackle or on a b-line to the qb will he try to swipe at the ball? that would be nice to see

Re: Madden 10 Vids @ IGN.com

I'm still waiting on some gameplay footage that says "You must purchase Madden this year". So far I'm not blown away, but theirs still 4 months till release so I'll just have to wait and see. Looking good so far though.
