Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

Re: Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

What LBz said is right on -- there needs to be a tighter, quicker forming pocket. And against the run, the dline stunts need to actually stunt and slide based on your call.

Also, the reason the running looks so stiff is because the running backs lack transition animations and realistic acceleration.

They should take the handoff and gradually get up to speed, with route-running-esque transition animations to show this. Instead, the runner gets the ball and immediately stands up like he's all alone -- seemingly at full speed after only a couple strides.

Re: Cowboys Star is facing the WRONG direction Again.

well does it not point to their bench? The other Cowboy fan seems to think it did? If thats true then I guess they are like that. LOL.

It points to their bench yes, but not in Madden it points to the visiting team. so the Cowboys are staring at the Star, not the visiting team like it should be.

Alot of Rookies and such have said the 1st thing they see is that star, and they just go in a awe.

Im sure Packer fans feel the same. When someone plays in Lambeau.

Just imagine being a Rookie or just a young guy who hasnt played the Cowboys in dallas, you're on your sideline and you look up, and you see that big blue star staring right back, than you see the team. It would be one of those wow moments. And to some it has been. The placement of the Star matters.

Honestly, it doesn't. You're just on some insane trip where you think the damn logo in the field matters more than it does. Maybe in real life...MAYBE. But especially in this video game, does this REALLY...REALLY matter at all?

You guys at this place are so picky and ridiculous I don't even see how it's possible.

Just FYI, Ian said on his Twitter that Pro-Tak for the pocket is not "on" for the IGN video. It's old, and they know that that exact complaint is an issue. It's fixed now.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

Well some people are happy and some people are not. I am happy from what I saw.

Vid @ :55- not enough speed on the run.

Vid @ 1:09 - not enough speed on the run.

Vid @ 1:11 - guy turns away from the tackle.

etc.

Basically, I'm not happy with the vid. Actually, the best part of the vid, IMO, is the team celebration.

Re: Cowboys Star is facing the WRONG direction Again.

Cowboys fans are funny.

What will they do when they finally realize the Cowboys star is flat and the world doesn't revolve around it?

Some of you people just need to go ahead and play 2k5 and forget Madden ever existed.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

After watching it about 6 times, I liked what I saw. While I agree that it does look a lot like 09, it seemed to have most of the stuff they put in their blogs. The pocket was discerning, but since Ian said it was old I'll allow it.

Presentation was amazing, but Hammonds is the weak link. With that said, I don't think he's as bad as everyone else says.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

What about in the first play with westbrook? Did you see the cut, plant and then explosion to the second level with a well respected physics based tackle?

The running animation does look smoother in my opinion and Ian said this was a vid from 2 weeks ago so, that might explain some things that are not as polished as well as we would like them to be.

That looked good enough, but look at other defensive players. They spin around, not doing realistic footwork to turn around, just swiveling. Also, the AI of some of the players, especially on the CB blitz makes it look even worse.

No, dude, it's people like you who ruin places like this. I'm not trying to be a dick but to honestly get on here, make a thread about a STAR (something from like 4 angles looks the EXACT same) being positioned wrong on a video game and to back it up with meaningless "facts" such as the "integrity, honor, blah blah" of it.

Think of what you're saying. Just think, and maybe you'll realize how petty this is.
