Madden NFL 10 Video: Pro-TAK Animation System

Re: Madden NFL 10 Video: Pro-TAK Animation System

Am I the only one that sees a HUGE difference in the realistic lighting/colors in the game? Compared with the past 4 next gen Madden games this looks extremely better. Ian, was a new lighting scheme, lighting, or texture technique used.

In previous Maddens I wasn't Impressed with the graphics cause they always had a cartoony or artificial look to them. Yes the graphics where highly detailed and had millions of polygons, but they still had a last-gen feel and I thought the lighting was inferior to that seen in NFL2k5.

NOW, This years madden has much more realistic and earthy looking graphics.

Ian, Can you comment on why the graphics looks so much different aka realistic.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Video: Pro-TAK Animation System

One Small concern I have about momentum. In this progression it appears that Jacobs is lowering the shoulder to pound right through Rogers. But as the big hit should be happening Rogers somehow slides over to the side and is able to hold up Jacobs.

I know I'm getting nit picky, but it's just something I noticed that didn't look sim...

Good catch, Ian has said that momentum was not really implemented into Pro Tak correctly yet when these videos were taken. Meaning the momentum and "umph" that should be taken into account when a defender is running full speed into a ball carrier is not present yet, and vice versa. Apparently that should be fixed.

I'd love a lighting/graphics blog. I completely agree, I've absolutely hated the lighting and colors used in past Madden's but this year they look so much better. I'd like to see behind the scenes what got changed. Something similar to the MLB The Show graphics blog.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Video: Pro-TAK Animation System

Looks really good....not sure if anybody posted this yet, and Im not trying to be Debbie downer but the video was constantly cutting from one angle to the next on most of these gang tackles. This could mean two things

1. Whoever cut the video was trying to give the presentation some flair and variety
2. the editor wanted to hide some mechanical issues and cut angles where they occured to confuse the eye

I sure hope it is # 1, or at least if its 2 it can be fixed before they press these.
Overall it looks pretty awesome though. The Brandon Jacobs run was eye popping

Re: new espn video of madden pro-tak

That screenshot is so good, i actually thought it was a real photo when i first looked at it.

I thought that was a real game photo too when I first saw it. This game keeps getting better and better. The graphics are spectacular and a huge leap from last year and I can't wait for what is going to be revealed at E3. I hope the nba live team takes advice from the madden team.

AMAZING VIDEO!!!... I see they fixed my Bills away jerseys, and put in colored cleats. Looks like I'm going to have to preorder this tomorrow instead of renting, can't wait to hear some franchise news.

I sure hope Pro-Tak is not overdone....

Let me get this straight first...I'm not a Madden or EA *****.

I'm as excited about Madden this year as any game ever.

But I do have one fear based on the videos I've seen:

I sure hope its not gonna take 3 to 5 guys to bring down every single ball carrier. Gang tackles don't happen all the time. Not even for Brandon Jacobs.

But for the record...it is a cool feature.

Re: I sure hope Pro-Tak is not overdone....

I think they're more just showing off what Pro-tak is capable of. We've all seen one and two man tackles, so I don't know if they'd go out of their way to try to market things people have seen before.

And I think I remember Ian saying they still need to tune it so that players aren't pro-tak magnets.
