Re: Running Animation Looking Better

The running animations may look better than 09 , but the running animations still look off to me.

The animations from the PS2 and XBox madden looked smoother.
I dont see that lean that a runner takes when he is running towards the sideline. He is still straight up.

Dude, these Cut Scenes.. Romo up to the line, on the Phone, Crayton Celebration, even the Fumble Pile, were pretty frickin cool. Way Cooler than I had imagined.

Things I noticed
-Nice Pocket for Romo, McNabb's was ok. And that looked like a Romo Pass... can anyone say if that looked like a signature Romo trowing style, because too me, It looked pretty Romo like.
-I still don't know if I liked the Fumble Bar on the bottem of the Pile, I would like to be surpized when someone comes up with the ball, id rather them tell us to Press Y, but not really see who is winning. Just me.
-The Pass the Crayton looked Good, not the high Flop Balls im used too, it doesn't go 60 pt in the air vertical and come back down in a players chest. I liked how it looked (especially the trip in the endzone).

One thing I didn't like, and I know we talked about this all over OS, the running animation. Even the handout too Westbrook looked werid and Maclin running to the sideline looked ehhh, he didn't even look fast.

Players looked a little more proportioned, I liked that, especially lineman, didn't look as huge, which is good. Even the Helmets looked good, facemasks and chin straps look better... I.E, Crayton Facemask and Helmet Proportion looks great as he jumps into Austins arms.

The only thing that really bugged me was the running animation. And the fact I still don't get my Editable Eye Black. Damn.

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.

excellent post and i 100% agree

if you set the # of posts be page to maximum in your user options, this thread is only 19 pages =)

The overall volume of the crowd sounds pretty weak. Plus the whole Tom Hammond talk before the kickoff is crap. There was absolutely no crowd noise during the warm-up section...very anti-climactic. The same with the TD catch, no enthusiasm by Hammond. snzzzzz zzzzzzz

Ian said that the crowd noise was broken when the vid was being shot...

Re: Running Animation Looking Better

Yeah, I don't know about that.

I know they have been working on it... but too me... it still looks werid. I just don't know what it is. Can't they mo cap that? I don't know anything about videogames, so I won't even try to get into it.. but Can't they just bring in Steve Smith and and bunch of Players and tell that to grab a suit and Sprint.

It's prob not that easy but.

It still looks Robotic, and now, werid, the arm movements look off, almost like the players (or Madden Crew) are trying too hard to portray movement.

I don't like the running animation, I hope they start working with on a running animation for 11 already, it might take that long.

The video's look great, cut scenes, all of it.... except that damn running animation.... even the QB in the pocket... The Ball is held too low (McNabb).... its almost at his waist.. something else that should really be looked at.

Re: Running Animation Looking Better

Agree with the last few posts. Even if the animations are still robotic, at least make them FAST robots. The feet just don't seem to move as fast they should.

Re: Running Animation Looking Better

It looks better but they did say tey where gonna redo it for madden 11.

They said that they wanted to redo locomotion for Madden 11.

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

Wow, over 50% of the stuff we asked for made it into the game. That is INCREDIBLE. Damn, this forum has gone completely downhill these past few months.

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

. Their legs move ridiculously fast.

Actually, in my opinion( and basically everyone else's but you)the players legs aren't moving fast enough.

Gotta agree. This year was suppose to THE year. Wait.....I thought that was last year. Anyway, the locomotion is such a huge part of the gameplay. And if it isn't right, the game won't feel right, period.

Listen, I'm feening for a great football experience as much as everyone else here. I'm just glad this is the year that the greats are getting their 2nd (Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, MW2, AC2). Looks like it may be ANOTHER year without sports games. I can't believe it.

I hope Ian can fix it though. I truly do. Since there was so much left out of the vid, I really hope the correct locomotion was simply left out as well.

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

Wow people, at least wait till you seem some final, polished, uninterrupted gameplay before you decide not buy the game. Some people just refuse to acknowledge the accomplishments that Madden has made this year. You guys cant like it because you refuse to give it a chance.
