Madden NFL 10: Updated Running Animation

[Avii]

Hi Ian,

Taking Pro Evolution Soccer 6 as example, why are there not different running styles which are selectable (on the create-a-player or edit-player modes)? Chris Johnson, for example, does not run in the same way as Adrain Peterson or DeSean Jackson. In fact, none of these guys run the same.

In fact, there are many general ideas that go a long way towards what we all want from Madden, which is CUSTOMIZATION, that you can glance upon in the Create A Player mode of Pro Evolution Soccer 6.

Re: Ians Twitter: Possible updated running animation vid today!

The new running animation makes the guy appear a little slower, like he's a bit tired, or preparing for impact. There is definitely a better sense of weight and momentum.

However, the old 2009 animation really looked like an effortless sprinter taking off. This should be kept and utilized for those rare speed talents that have that extra gear. In the open field, Randy Moss should have the 09 animation, and the DBs chasing him would use that new animation.

Personally I liked the 09 running animation much better. I suppose I prefer the sprinter look to the laboring look, especially if someone is in the open field.

Yea, but you cant have the sprinters animation when running in traffic. You need the new one. In the sprinting animation they need to lower the knees, make the legs churn a little faster and make the legs kick out the back more.

This. The legs just aren't moving fast enough for a sprint in either vid. Watch someone sprint down the field, their legs are pumping up and down incredibly fast. Even slower players.

Re: Madden NFL 10: Updated Running Animation

Even if they kept the 09 sprinter animation, the knees still go too high and the body leans forward too much.

Re: Madden NFL 10: Updated Running Animation

i hope they fix the way guys turn / cut on the game. playing PS2 the jumping to nex-gen they way a guy cuts on a dime . combined with the way they run makes i very wierd to move .

Agreed, the updated running style looks great by the way. But it would be great to be able to customize running style through edit or create-a-player as everyone doesn't run the same.

lets see different angles..and it is an improvement but now it looks like he runs a 40 in 5 seconds...it needs a sense of weith and speed depending on its ratings and size and weight

Re: Madden NFL 10: Updated Running Animation

can we get a video of a receiver or running back, with the new running animation? its a little hard to judge with a tight end

I'm sure Ian will post it when it's complete. The one he posted was a work on progress. They are still tuning it.

Re: Madden NFL 10: Updated Running Animation

so far I'm very pleased with the new running animation. Looks waaay more realistic. If this years madden dissapoints, I'll **** myself, there is more than enough reason to get excited, hopefully everything won't go pear shaped before August.

Re: Madden NFL 10: Updated Running Animation

The "Cartooning" has a night and day difference. As others have mentioned, having that completely perfect sprint form should only be seen in the open field on a breakaway or pursuing the breakaway. When in traffic people aren't running at full sprint speed in one direction. They are under control and ready to change directions. Also, take in account that the players are probably not at 100% stamina so their form may suffer some when running.

Lookn better, after i saw the animation from trailer i thought the animations looked too unrealistic for the 21st edition of madden. One thing i think needed to take into effect is how fast wr's, like in that Chad Johnson video, take long quick strides
