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.

Re: Running Animation Looking Better

They look a little better, but they still look a little robotic to me. For the life of me I don't know why they can't go back to the ps2 or pc versions to get the running perfect...boggles my mind.

The things that I'm excited about won't necessarily show up in videos (fatigue factors, slipping on fields, etc...).

I guess I'm mildly interested at this point and will probably pick it up.

cant wait!

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

What pisses me off and makes no sense is the fact that it WAS correct in 09. It makes zero sense to have something nearly perfected one year and then totally dicking it up the next. Here's hoping QA or whoever is responsible notices this in time for release among other things.

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

I couldn't agree more with a prior poster. It’s a video game. lol Ian and his crew have made more improvements to madden in one year than I’ve seen in madden in the last ten years. People, the game is not going to be a "real" game. lol I see people analyzing everything little thing imaginable-- logo not pointed in the right direction, commentary plugging an advertising, and on and on it goes. The most important thing to me is, am I seeing the same game in ‘07, ‘08 and ‘09 and the answer clearly to me is no. This is the 1st time I’ll be buying a madden game since the 06 version.

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

Looks decent, but I'm officially worried the pocket will not be right, nor will the general footwork, especially on defense. The game just doesn't move realistically yet. Players don't adhere to the laws of physics.

I wish they could get the running to look perfect too but you have to remember that this is a video game. With all the strides EA Sports has made in this year's Madden I don't think we can argue about running animation's. I think we can all agree that the game looks a lot better this year than last year.
