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

then why was it shown if its outdated? it doesn't take long to record a game, cut some plays, and then send it over to IGN.

hmmmm...I was under the impression that it was the guys from IGN that were playing the game and recording it for their website.

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

idk why all the complaints? Arent we looking for a game that has improvements? '06, '07, '08, and '09 you could literally look at the clips they would give out around this time of the year and noticeably tell things were not significantly different...

This year we got:
-pre game warmups
-more authentic coin toss with helmets off and a more authentic face on the players
-cut scenes
-gang tackling, and all that pro-tak stuff (remember up to 9 players!!!
-COLORED CLEATS (I didnt care for them -- but Im saying)
-Franchise Mode has been revamped (Madden Head Coach designer worked on it)

And I Know I can go on forever...the main point is, we as fans need to realize its a business for them, and a process for us....
This year, they actually came to us, listened, and came through...They have only a year, if that to come up with the best game possible gathering as much 'new' technology they can come up within probably less than 7 months so that they can actually put that new technology to work...

Give these dudes credit, its a major step in the right direction than what we have had seriously...and honestly, since they have the NFL license, they could have just went to work, picked up there check and gave us the same watered down NFL game ever since next gen came out..

Good Job Ian & Crew

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

I have to say that so far I am not impressed. It looks almost exactly like 09. I know that a lot of what EA worked on this year was FIXING the gameplay (QB pockets, procedural gang tackling and blocking, fumble scrums, players "seeing the ball" and reacting more realistically, etc.) so who knows. Sounds like they really just wanted to polish up the gameplay.

Unfortunately the presentation appears to have a very limited upgrade.

The Good:
- More sideline stuff
- Refs and chaingangs
- Realistic depth of field cameras
- A lot more cutscenes between plays

The Bad:
- Commentary is still HORRIBLE! - They said they were re-recording Tom Hammond, but he sound just as stiff and robotic as he did last year. Almost unlistenable.
- Cameras are unchanged. Maybe this first gameplay clip was just to show the game using the basic Madden cam, but it looked the same as every Madden for the last 5 years. This view is not immersive.

They need to address the commentary. It sounds like a badly spliced, disjointed PS1 commentary to me. Collinsworth is still amazing with the color commentary, but the play by play by Hammond is the worst in the business IMO. Bring on the DLC commentary packs please. I dont know how long i can listen to "And he....gets the........ball at the....four....teen...yardline."

???????. Man, you threw me off with this one.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

Read the replys about Ians Twitter, not sure what was said on it. Never been a twitter guy myself. Too spastic a technology for me. Anyhow, in the hopes Ian reads this --

After releasing the first somewhat lengthy game play video, this is when Ian really needs to be on the boards. To explain why things don't match up with fans expectations. To assuage their concerns and to talk about what didn't make it this year and what's targeted for next year. Fan's expectations were through the roof, they were almost expecting to see a whole new game, and these short clips are really not the best way to expose the community to the game the first time. I tried to warn of this from what I was reading on the boards.

I suggest next time the game is released, or the next big release of game play that Ian does a voice over and talk about what they added, what fans were wanting, and what they still know needs improvement. By calling out the problems, before the fans do, it lets them know that one you're aware of it, and two you plan on fixing it at a later date or with the next release.

Consumers feel powerless, and any time a person is powerless, whether on a forum or in real life, they will lash out in frustration / anger. It's human nature. The best you can do is try to explain what's going on so they don't feel in the dark.

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

Call me crazy, but I just don't see it.......

First of all NFL2K5 had that cutscene 5 years ago of the Qb on the phone, along with many others.......


Outside of technology nothing really impresses me about this game. THe players still move awkward and lack fluid movements.
I could care less about all of the features, all I want is a game that plays and looks realistic.

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

Maybe it is just me, but I thought the video was fine. I liked:

*Up close shots (pregame, TD celebrations, etc.)

*Warm ups

*Cointoss

*The pocket to step up and throw in

*The improved route running

If this is an out of date video, it is an improvement. The game is still being tweeked all of you new guys and some of you bitter guys need to chill.

P.S.
Just a reminder folks OS is for the grown and mature, all of the petty insults brings our forums down. Think before you type.

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

Wow... I can't wait to get my hands on this game, it looks like EA Sports has really done a great job with Madden NFL 10.

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

It's been a while since I've ventured to this board and Madden talk in general. My last Madden experience was with Madden 06 on the original XBOX.

This year, with a new PS3, I'll be getting Madden 2010 (I refuse to call it Madden 10 like it's the tenth version of the game or something ). I like what I see. I mean, of course it's not perfect but that's how the game plays and I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I get used to all the nuances of how this iteration of the series plays.

I think people over analyze this game and sports games in general. I used to be like that, picking out every single detail and having some type of gripe with it. But in the last few years, I've calmed down significantly and can appreciate the game for what it is. I can't believe we have 70 pages of discussion and this thread has only been alive for less then a day! I don't even have to go through the pages to know what's been said, back and forth.

With that said, I'm excited to play the game and can't wait to see the difference the game has made in 4 years and one console generation leap later.

Re: Running Animation Looking Better

Yeah the running animation looks much more smooth than in past years, I have always hated how RB's and WR's looked like robots when they were running.

Re: Running Animation Looking Better

I couldn't really notice the new way they ran in the vid at first, but after I seen a vid of madden 09, it became very noticeable.

Re: Running Animation Looking Better

Jeremy Maclin looked like he was running in cement in the video.
SO UNNATURAL!!
The arms also swing way too much!
Man, it just pains me to see that Madden improved in alot of areas but the area that can really put them over the top , they're still struggling in it...

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

Just woke up and this entire thread. Wow.

I can see why Ian is gone.

I can't... IMO, this thread has been far more civilized then the usual "EA Sucks, the Devs are lazy" posts. A large majority of the thread was positive towards the video. In addition, the flame posts seemed to be other posters flaming each other. Not called for I know, but far better then flaming the Devs.

As far as the video... I saw some good, some bad and some ugly just as expected.

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

Not sure if this has been posted yet but what is up with Romo's "Red 38, red 38" cadence? It's not even his voice! It was SPOT ON in 09 with his, "White 80, white 80, set!" cadence that was his voice. Why did this suddenly change? PLEASE for the love of GOD get this corrected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah it doesn't really sound like Romo but it won't really bother me since I'm not a Cowboys fan. They still have 2 months to get the little stuff like this corrected, hopefully they get my boy Jake Delhomme's cadence right.
